-Ion Memory Manager
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Ion is a memory manager that allows for sharing of buffers via dma-buf.
|
|
|
-Ion allows for different types of allocation via an abstraction called
|
|
|
-a 'heap'. A heap represents a specific type of memory. Each heap has
|
|
|
-a different type. There can be multiple instances of the same heap
|
|
|
-type.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Specific heap instances are tied to heap IDs. Heap IDs are not to be specified
|
|
|
-in the devicetree.

-
|
|
|
-All child nodes of a linux,ion node are interpreted as heaps
