Members

PageTableLevel

Level of a page table, which is updated.

hAllocation

Kernel mode driver handle of an allocation, which is mapped by the page table entries. The handle is returned by the kernel mode driver from DxgkDdiCreateAllocation. The handle can be NULL for allocations, which do not have a kernel mode drver handle (page tables, page directories, etc.).

PageTableAddress

Address of the page table to update. If DXGK_VIRTUALADDRESSCAPS:: PageTableUpdateMode is DXGK_PAGETABLEUPDATE_CPU_VIRTUAL, the CPU virtual address is in the CpuVirtual field. If DXGK_VIRTUALADDRESSCAPS:: PageTableUpdateMode is DXGK_PAGETABLEUPDATE_GPU_VIRTUAL, the GPU virtual address is in the GpuVirtual field. If DXGK_VIRTUALADDRESSCAPS:: PageTableUpdateMode is DXGK_PAGETABLEUPDATE_GPU_PHYSICAL, the GPU physical address is in the GpuPhysical field.

pPageTableEntries

The entries which need to be copied. The index zero in the pPageTableEntries array corresponds to the StartIndex in the driver page table entry array.

StartIndex

The starting index of a page table entry within the page table where the entries should be copied. The page table entry array index is zero-based.

NumPageTableEntries

The number of entries which need to be copied.

Reserved0

This member is reserved and should be set to zero.

Flags

DXGK_UPDATEPAGETABLEFLAGS structure describing the update operation.

DriverProtection

Passed by UMD in MapGpuVirtualAddressRangeCb.

AllocationOffsetInBytes

When hAllocation is non-NULL, this field specifies the relative offset, in bytes, from the beginning of the allocation to the first page being targeted by this update operation. If the update target multiple pages from hAllocation, those pages are guaranteed to be sequential. For example, video memory manager may be updating a GPU virtual address to page 4,5,6,7 in hAllocation. There will never be a case where a driver would see a single update operation which target non sequential pages (ex. 4,5,7). Note that although the pages are guaranteed to be sequential from the point of view of the allocation, they may not be physically contiguous in memory.

hProcess

Kernel mode driver process handle for the process whose page table entries are updated. This is the value returned from DxgkDdiCreateProcess.

UpdateMode

Defines the meaning of PageTableAddress. When initializing page tables for the paging process, the update mode is always DXGK_PAGETABLEUPDATE_CPU_VIRTUAL and pDmaBuffer is set to NULL. In this case the driver must update page tables immediately. In other cases the UpdateMode is set to the value, which is specified in DXGK_VIRTUALADDRESSCAPS::GpuMmu.PageTableUpdateMode.

When updating page table entries for a leaf page table, video memory manager assumes that each entry covers a 4KB page. If a GPU page is bigger (4 KB * 2n), the video memory manager will provide entries in the array, which point within GPU pages. The kernel mode driver might only need to initialize page table entries, which point to the beginning of GPU pages. The following figure illustrates this for the case when GPU page is 16 KB.

pPageTableEntries64KB

The entries which need to be copied from the 64KB page tables. The index zero in the pPageTableEntries array corresponds to the StartIndex in the driver page table entry array. The array should be use only when the DXGK_GPUMMUCAPS::DualPteSupported cap is set.

FirstPteVirtualAddress

The GPU virtual address that is mapped by the first updated page table entry.
