DMSSMN
Function
THE DMSSMN ROUTINE PROCESSES OS FREEMAIN AND GETMAIN MACROS, AND CMS CALLS TO DMSSMNSB (STRINIT).
Attributes
NUCLEUS RESIDENT, RE-ENTRANT
Operation
IF AN OS GETMAIN OR FREEMAIN IS ISSUED WITH AN R OPERAND, CONTROL IS PASSED VIA AN SVC10 TO THE SVC10 ENTRY POINT IN DMSSMN. DMSSMN ROUNDS THE AMOUNT OF STORAGE SPECIFIED UP TO A DOUBLEWORD AND DETERMINES IF A GETMAIN OR FREEMAIN WAS ISSUED. IF A GETMAIN WAS ISSUED, THE GETBLK ROUTINE IN DMSSMN IS CALLED TO GET A FREE STORAGE BLOCK. CONTROL IS THEN RETURNED TO THE USER WITH THE ADDRESS OF THE FREE STORAGE IN REGISTER ONE. IF A FREEMAIN WAS ISSUED, THE FREEBLK ROUTINE IN DMSSMN IS CALLED TO RELEASE A BLOCK OF STORAGE AND CONTROL IS RETURNED TO THE USER. IF AN OS GETMAIN IS ISSUED WITHOUT AN R OPERAND, CONTROL IS PASSED VIA AN SVC4 TO THE SVC4 ENTRY POINT IN DMSSMN. IF THE GETMAIN WAS NOT VARIABLE, DMSSMN ROUNDS UP THE AMOUNT OF STORAGE SPECIFIED AND CALLS THE GETBLK ROUTINE IN DMSSMN TO GET A FREE STORAGE BLOCK. CONTROL IS THEN RETURNED TO THE USER WITH THE ADDRESS OF THE FREE BLOCK. IF THE GETMAIN WAS CONDITIONAL AND THERE WAS AN ERROR, AN ERROR CODE IS PASSED BACK TO THE USER. IF THE GETMAIN WAS VARIABLE, DMSSMN PROCEEDS AS ABOVE EXCEPT THAT IT SEARCHES THE FREE CHAIN TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH STORAGE IS AVAILABLE BEFORE CALLING THE GETBLK ROUTINE. IF AN OS FREEMAIN IS ISSUED WITHOUT AN R OPERAND, CONTROL IS PASSED VIA AN SVC5 TO THE SVC5 ENTRY POINT IN DMSSMN. DMSSMN ROUNDS THE AMOUNT TO BE FREED UP TO A DOUBLEWORD AND CALLS THE FREEBLK ROUTINE TO FREE THE SPECIFIED STORAGE. CONTROL IS THEN RETURNED TO USER. IF A CMS ROUTINE CALLS THE STORAGE INITIALIZATION ROUTINE (STRINIT) IN DMSSMN, STRINIT RESETS THE FREE STORAGE EXTENTS AND EFFECTIVELY FREES ANY STORAGE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY GETMAINED. IF ANY ERRORS ARE ENCOUNTERED IN RESETTING THE EXTENTS AN ABEND IS ISSUED, OTHERWISE CONTROL IS RETURNED TO THE USER. THE GETBLK ROUTINE IN DMSSMN SEARCHES THE FREE CHAIN FOR A BLOCK OF FREE STORAGE LARGE ENOUGH TO MEET THE CALLER'S NEEDS. WHEN IT FINDS ONE, IT EITHER RESETS THE BLOCK LENGTH OR, IF ALL THE BLOCK IS NEEDED, DELETES IT AND RETURNS CONTROL TO THE CALLER. IF A LARGE ENOUGH BLOCK CANNOT BE FOUND AND THE GETMAIN IS UNCONDITIONAL, AN ABEND IS ISSUED. IF A LARGE ENOUGH BLOCK CANNOT BE FOUND AND THE GETMAIN WAS CONDITIONAL, CONTROL IS RETURNED TO THE CALLER WITH AN ERROR CODE IN REGISTER 15. THE FREEBLK ROUTINE IN DMSSMN RETURNS A BLOCK OF STORAGE TO THE FREE CHAIN. IF THE ADDRESS PASSED IT IS BAD, THE FREEBLK ROUTINE ISSUES AN ABEND. IF THE BLOCK IT IS FREEING IS CONTIGUOUS TO ANY OTHER FREE BLOCK IN CORE, THE FREEBLK ROUTINE WILL COMBINE THE TWO BLOCKS. UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION CONTROL IS RETURNED TO THE CALLER. PREVIOUS STORAGE ALLOCATION REQUESTS MAINTAIN A CHAIN OF POINTERS TO DISCONNECTED AREAS OF FREE CORE EACH LINK +00 IS FREPTR - POINTER TO NEXT LINK ZERO IF LAST IN CHAIN +04 IS FRELEN - LENGTH OF FREE AREA FRELST POINTS TO THE FIRST LINK IN THE CHAIN OF DISCONNECTED AREAS FSTFRE HOLDS THE ORIGINAL BEGINNING OF USER FREE STORAGE LENFRE HOLDS THE LENGTH OF THAT AREA NUCON LOCATION MAINHIGH HOLDS THE LOWER BOUND FOR EXTEND. NUCON LOCATION FREELOWE (LOWEXT) HOLDS THE UPPER BOUND FOR GETMAIN.
