clEnqueueSVMFree

Enqueues a command to free the shared virtual memory allocated using clSVMAlloc or a shared system memory pointer.

cl_int clEnqueueSVMFree ( cl_command_queue command_queue,
  cl_uint  num_svm_pointers ,
  void  *svm_pointers[] ,
  void (CL_CALLBACK  *pfn_free_func) ( cl_command_queue queue, cl_uint num_svm_pointers, void *svm_pointers[]),
  void  *user_data),
  void *user_data,
  cl_uint num_events_in_wait_list,
  const cl_event *event_wait_list,
  cl_event *event)

Parameters

command_queue

A valid host command-queue.

svm_pointers and num_svm_pointers

Specify shared virtual memory pointers to be freed. Each pointer in svm_pointers that was allocated using clSVMAlloc must have been allocated from the same context from which command_queue was created. The memory associated with svm_pointers can be reused or freed after the function returns.

pfn_free_func

Specifies the callback function to be called to free the SVM pointers. pfn_free_func takes four arguments: queue which is the command queue in which clEnqueueSVMFree was enqueued, the count and list of SVM pointers to free and user_data which is a pointer to user specified data. If pfn_free_func is NULL, all pointers specified in svm_pointers must be allocated using clSVMAlloc and the OpenCL implementation will free these SVM pointers. pfn_free_func must be a valid callback function if any SVM pointer to be freed is a shared system memory pointer i.e. not allocated using clSVMAlloc. If pfn_free_func is a valid callback function, the OpenCL implementation will call pfn_free_func to free all the SVM pointers specified in svm_pointers.

user_data

Will be passed as the user_data argument when pfn_free_func is called. user_data can be NULL.

event_wait_list and num_events_in_wait_list

Specify events that need to complete before clEnqueueSVMFree can be executed. If event_wait_list is NULL, then clEnqueueSVMFree does not wait on any event to complete. If event_wait_list is NULL, num_events_in_wait_list must be 0. If event_wait_list is not NULL, the list of events pointed to by event_wait_list must be valid and num_events_in_wait_list must be greater than 0. The events specified in event_wait_list act as synchronization points. The context associated with events in event_wait_list and command_queue must be the same. The memory associated with event_wait_list can be reused or freed after the function returns.

event

Returns an event object that identifies this particular command and can be used to query or queue a wait for this particular command to complete. event can be NULL in which case it will not be possible for the application to query the status of this command or queue a wait for this command to complete. If the event_wait_list and the event arguments are not NULL, the event argument should not refer to an element of the event_wait_list array.

Errors

Returns CL_SUCCESS if the function is executed successfully. Otherwise, it returns one of the following errors:

  • CL_INVALID_COMMAND_QUEUE if command_queue is not a valid host command-queue.
  • CL_INVALID_VALUE if num_svm_pointers is 0 or if svm_pointers is NULL or if any of the pointers specified in svm_pointers array is NULL.
  • CL_INVALID_EVENT_WAIT_LIST if event_wait_list is NULL and num_events_in_wait_list > 0, or event_wait_list is not NULL and num_events_in_wait_list is 0, or if event objects in event_wait_list are not valid events.
  • CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the device.
  • CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.
