能在应用程序中申请＞４Ｋ的连续物理内存吗？

大家好：
　　如果我要使用ＤＭＡ传送数据，它可能大于４Ｋ（我的意思是在于１页的物理内存），我应当在应用程序中如何申请，大于４Ｋ的页面对齐的物理内存？十分感谢！！

当然可以，最好使用VirtualAlloc

VirtualAlloc
The VirtualAlloc function reserves or commits a region of pages in the virtual address space of the calling process. Memory allocated by this function is automatically initialized to zero, unless the MEM_RESET flag is set.

LPVOID VirtualAlloc(
  LPVOID lpAddress, // address of region to reserve or commit
  DWORD dwSize,     // size of region
  DWORD flAllocationType,
                    // type of allocation
  DWORD flProtect   // type of access protection
);
 
Parameters
lpAddress
Specifies the desired starting address of the region to allocate. If the memory is being reserved, the specified address is rounded down to the next 64-kilobyte boundary. If the memory is already reserved and is being committed, the address is rounded down to the next page boundary. To determine the size of a page on the host computer, use theGetSystemInfo function. If this parameter is NULL, the system determines where to allocate the region.
dwSize
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the region. If the lpAddress parameter is NULL, this value is rounded up to the next page boundary. Otherwise, the allocated pages include all pages containing one or more bytes in the range from lpAddress to (lpAddress+dwSize). This means that a 2-byte range straddling a page boundary causes both pages to be included in the allocated region.
flAllocationType
Specifies the type of allocation. You can specify any combination of the following flags: Flag Meaning
MEM_COMMIT Allocates physical storage in memory or in the paging file on disk for the specified region of pages.
 An attempt to commit an already committed page will not cause the function to fail. This means that a range of committed or decommitted pages can be committed without having to worry about a failure.
MEM_RESERVE Reserves a range of the process's virtual address space without allocating any physical storage. The reserved range cannot be used by any other allocation operations (the malloc function, the LocalAlloc function, and so on) until it is released. Reserved pages can be committed in subsequent calls to the VirtualAlloc function.
MEM_RESET Windows NT: Specifies that memory pages within the range specified by lpAddress and dwSize will not be written to or read from the paging file.
When you set the MEM_RESET flag, you are declaring that the contents of that range are no longer important. The range is going to be overwritten, and the application does not want the memory to migrate out to or in from the paging file.

Setting this flag does not guarantee that the range operated on with MEM_RESET will contain zeroes. If you want the range to contain zeroes, decommit the memory and then recommit it.

When you set the MEM_RESET flag, the VirtualAlloc function ignores the value of fProtect. However, you must still set fProtect to a valid protection value, such as PAGE_NOACCESS.

VirtualAlloc returns an error if you set the MEM_RESET flag and the range of memory is mapped to a file. A shared view is only acceptable if it is mapped to a paging file.
 
MEM_TOP_DOWN Allocates memory at the highest possible address.


flProtect
Specifies the type of access protection. If the pages are being committed, any one of the following flags can be specified, along with the PAGE_GUARD and PAGE_NOCACHE protection modifier flags, as desired: Flag Meaning
PAGE_READONLY Enables read access to the committed region of pages. An attempt to write to the committed region results in an access violation. If the system differentiates between read-only access and execute access, an attempt to execute code in the committed region results in an access violation.
PAGE_READWRITE Enables both read and write access to the committed region of pages.
PAGE_EXECUTE Enables execute access to the committed region of pages. An attempt to read or write to the committed region results in an access violation.
PAGE_EXECUTE_READ Enables execute and read access to the committed region of pages. An attempt to write to the committed region results in an access violation.
PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE Enables execute, read, and write access to the committed region of pages.
PAGE_GUARD Pages in the region become guard pages. Any attempt to read from or write to a guard page causes the system to raise a STATUS_GUARD_PAGE exception and turn off the guard page status. Guard pages thus act as a one-shot access alarm.
The PAGE_GUARD flag is a page protection modifier. An application uses it with one of the other page protection flags, with one exception: It cannot be used with PAGE_NOACCESS. When an access attempt leads the system to turn off guard page status, the underlying page protection takes over.

If a guard page exception occurs during a system service, the service typically returns a failure status indicator.
 
PAGE_NOACCESS Disables all access to the committed region of pages. An attempt to read from, write to, or execute in the committed region results in an access violation exception, called a general protection (GP) fault.
PAGE_NOCACHE Allows no caching of the committed regions of pages. The hardware attributes for the physical memory should be specified as "no cache." This is not recommended for general usage. It is useful for device drivers; for example, mapping a video frame buffer with no caching. This flag is a page protection modifier, only valid when used with one of the page protections other than PAGE_NOACCESS.


Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the base address of the allocated region of pages.

If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks
VirtualAlloc can perform the following operations:

Commit a region of pages reserved by a previous call to the VirtualAlloc function.
Reserve a region of free pages.
Reserve and commit a region of free pages.
You can use VirtualAlloc to reserve a block of pages and then make additional calls to VirtualAlloc to commit individual pages from the reserved block. This enables a process to reserve a range of its virtual address space without consuming physical storage until it is needed.

Each page in the process's virtual address space is in one of three states:

State Meaning
Free The page is not committed or reserved and is not accessible to the process. VirtualAlloc can reserve, or simultaneously reserve and commit, a free page.
Reserved The range of addresses cannot be used by other allocation functions, but the page is not accessible and has no physical storage associated with it. VirtualAlloc can commit a reserved page, but it cannot reserve it a second time. The VirtualFree function can release a reserved page, making it a free page.
Committed Physical storage is allocated for the page, and access is controlled by a protection code. The system initializes and loads each committed page into physical memory only at the first attempt to read or write to that page. When the process terminates, the system releases the storage for committed pages. VirtualAlloc can commit an already committed page. This means that you can commit a range of pages, regardless of whether they have already been committed, and the function will not fail. VirtualFree can decommit a committed page, releasing the page's storage, or it can simultaneously decommit and release a committed page.


If the lpAddress parameter is not NULL, the function uses the lpAddress and dwSize parameters to compute the region of pages to be allocated. The current state of the entire range of pages must be compatible with the type of allocation specified by the flAllocationType parameter. Otherwise, the function fails and none of the pages are allocated. This compatibility requirement does not preclude committing an already committed page; see the preceding list.

The PAGE_GUARD protection modifier flag establishes guard pages. Guard pages act as one-shot access alarms. For more information, see Creating Guard Pages.

十分感谢，再请问，用它申请的＞４Ｋ内存不知是否连续？是否一定会在内存中（因为ＤＭＡ只可不会管它在不在内存中，照写不误的啦）

自已回答：是连续的，不保证．用virtualLock

再次感谢fengyu_1907
