-DESCRIPTION:
- This directive creates a partition of fixed size buffers from a physically
- contiguous memory space which starts at starting_address and is length
- bytes in size. Each allocated buffer is to be of ``buffer_size`` in bytes.
- The assigned partition id is returned in ``id``. This partition id is used
- to access the partition with other partition related directives. For
- control and maintenance of the partition, RTEMS allocates a PTCB from the
- local PTCB free pool and initializes it.
-
-NOTES:
- This directive may cause the calling task to be preempted due to an
- obtain and release of the object allocator mutex.
-
- The partition buffer area specified by the ``starting_address`` must be
- properly aligned. It must be possible to directly store target
- architecture pointers and the also the user data. For example, if the user
- data contains some long double or vector data types, the partition buffer
- area and the buffer size must take the alignment of these types into
- account which is usually larger than the pointer alignment. A cache line
- alignment may be also a factor.
-
- The ``buffer_size`` parameter must be an integral multiple of the pointer
- size on the target architecture. Additionally, ``buffer_size`` must be
- large enough to hold two pointers on the target architecture. This is
- required for RTEMS to manage the buffers when they are free.
-
- Memory from the partition is not used by RTEMS to store the Partition
- Control Block.
-
- The following partition attribute constants are defined by RTEMS:
-
- .. list-table::
- :class: rtems-table
-
- * - ``RTEMS_LOCAL``
- - local partition (default)
- * - ``RTEMS_GLOBAL``
- - global partition
-
- The PTCB for a global partition is allocated on the local node. The memory
- space used for the partition must reside in shared memory. Partitions
- should not be made global unless remote tasks must interact with the
- partition. This is to avoid the overhead incurred by the creation of a
- global partition. When a global partition is created, the partition's name
- and id must be transmitted to every node in the system for insertion in the
- local copy of the global object table.
-
- The total number of global objects, including partitions, is limited by the
- maximum_global_objects field in the Configuration Table.
-
-EXAMPLE:
- .. code-block:: c
-
- #include <rtems.h>
- #include <rtems/chain.h>
-
- #include <assert.h>
-
- typedef struct {
- char less;
- short more;
- } item;
-
- union {
- item data;
- rtems_chain_node node;
- } items[ 13 ];
-

+ This parameter is the size in bytes of a buffer managed by the partition.
+
+``attribute_set``
+ This parameter is the attribute set of the partition.

+ This parameter is the pointer to an object identifier variable. The

+
+.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:
+
+This directive creates a partition of fixed size buffers from a physically
+contiguous memory space which starts at ``starting_address`` and is ``length``
+bytes in size. Each allocated buffer is to be of ``buffer_size`` in bytes.
+The assigned partition identifier is returned in ``id``. This partition
+identifier is used to access the partition with other partition related
+directives.
+
+The **attribute set** specified in ``attribute_set`` is built through a
+*bitwise or* of the attribute constants described below. Attributes not
+mentioned below are not evaluated by this directive and have no effect.
+
+The partition can have **local** or **global** scope in a multiprocessing
+network (this attribute does not refer to SMP systems).
+
+* A **local** scope is the default and can be emphasized through the use of the
+ :c:macro:`RTEMS_LOCAL` attribute. A local partition can be only used by the
+ node which created it.
+
+* A **global** scope is established if the :c:macro:`RTEMS_GLOBAL` attribute is
+ set. The memory space used for the partition must reside in shared memory.
+ Setting the global attribute in a single node system has no effect.
+
+.. rubric:: RETURN VALUES:
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL`
+ The requested operation was successful.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_NAME`
+ The partition name was invalid.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_ADDRESS`
+ The ``id`` parameter was `NULL
+ <https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/NULL>`_.

+ The ``length`` parameter was 0.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_SIZE`
+ The ``buffer_size`` parameter was 0.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_SIZE`
+ The ``length`` parameter was less than the ``buffer_size`` parameter.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_SIZE`
+ The ``buffer_size`` parameter was not an integral multiple of the pointer
+ size.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_SIZE`
+ The ``buffer_size`` parameter was less than two times the pointer size.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_ADDRESS`
+ The ``starting_address`` parameter was not on a pointer size boundary.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_TOO_MANY`
+ There was no inactive object available to create a new partition. The
+ number of partitions available to the application is configured through the
+ :ref:`CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_PARTITIONS` configuration option.
+
+.. rubric:: NOTES:
+
+This directive may cause the calling task to be preempted due to an obtain and
+release of the object allocator mutex.
+
+The partition buffer area specified by the ``starting_address`` must be
+properly aligned. It must be possible to directly store target architecture
+pointers and also the user data. For example, if the user data contains some
+long double or vector data types, the partition buffer area and the buffer size
+must take the alignment of these types into account which is usually larger
+than the pointer alignment. A cache line alignment may be also a factor. Use
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_PARTITION_ALIGNMENT` to specify the minimum alignment of a
+partition buffer type.
+
+The ``buffer_size`` parameter must be an integral multiple of the pointer size
+on the target architecture. Additionally, ``buffer_size`` must be large enough
+to hold two pointers on the target architecture. This is required for RTEMS to
+manage the buffers when they are free.
+
+For control and maintenance of the partition, RTEMS allocates a :term:`PTCB`
+from the local PTCB free pool and initializes it. Memory from the partition
+buffer area is not used by RTEMS to store the PTCB.
+
+The PTCB for a global partition is allocated on the local node. Partitions
+should not be made global unless remote tasks must interact with the partition.
+This is to avoid the overhead incurred by the creation of a global partition.
+When a global partition is created, the partition's name and identifier must be
+transmitted to every node in the system for insertion in the local copy of the
+global object table.
+
+The total number of global objects, including partitions, is limited by the
+value of the :ref:`CONFIGURE_MP_MAXIMUM_GLOBAL_OBJECTS` application
+configuration option.
