For globally-referenced data ("still reachable") it's not that much
useful to spend time on implementing freeing it.

Re: pci-arbiter: Implement mapping for ROM files
Hi, I just though... shouldn't this allocated memory be freed somewhere when the arbiter shuts down? El 15/8/22 a les 20:33, Samuel Thibault ha escrit: Samuel Thibault, le lun. 15 août 2022 20:20:16 +0200, a ecrit: Joan Lledó, le lun. 15 août 2022 20:07:09 +0200, a ecrit: El 15/8/22 a les 19:37, Samuel Thibault ha escrit: Mmm, but doesn't libpciaccess allow to map the BAR?Then pci-arbiter could create a read-only memory proxy of the mapping? Yes, the arbiter exposes the BAR regions as files called "region0", "region1", etc. And they can be mapped through a proxy, that's already working. But this is about the "rom" files which expose the content of the expansion ROM for each device. Sorry, I meant: why can't we do that for ROMs? Does libpciaccess not provide a way to map ROMs? Ah, no it doesn't. Applied, thanks! Samuel
