Hi Richard, Without seeing all that your system is doing I can only make guesses. In my experience if you are getting a 'delete first' error due to the slot already being used when you expect it to be free then you have probably failed to correctly call seL4_CNode_Delete to empty the slot before reusing it.

Hi!

I could use a clue as to the cause of this problem. The program has its free slots start index set correctly. It is trying to allocate a dma buffer. (4k with a known physical address). The vspace has been properly set up and knows the phys addresses of its free memory. This used to work fine in a different process, but I can't find anything I've done different/wrong in this one...

I've added some extra printfs, and some debug code (in kernel/src/object/untyped.c). /* Ensure that the destination slots are all empty. */ slots.cnode = CTE_PTR(cap_cnode_cap_get_capCNodePtr(nodeCap)); slots.offset = nodeOffset; slots.length = nodeWindow; for (i = nodeOffset; i < nodeOffset + nodeWindow; i++) { status = ensureEmptySlot(slots.cnode + i); if (status != EXCEPTION_NONE) { userError("Untyped Retype: Slot #%d from %p in destination window non-empty.", (int)i, (void *)slots.cnode); userError("Untyped Retype: At offset #%d length %d.", (int)nodeOffset, (int)nodeWindow); int j = 0; for(j=0;j<2048;j++){ status = ensureEmptySlot(slots.cnode + (i + j)); if (status == EXCEPTION_NONE) { userError("Next Free Slot at #%d from %p.", (int)(i+j), (void *)slots.cnode); status = EXCEPTION_SYSCALL_ERROR; break; } } return status; } }

And finally, here is the output from the console:

<> <> <> <> _refill_pool@split.c:187 Failed to retype untyped, error 8 vka_alloc_object_at_maybe_dev@object.h:59 Failed to allocate object of size 4096, error 1 dma_alloc@page_dma.c:92 Failed to allocate untyped of size 12

I need a hint... help?

Thanks!

Richard
