VM_PAGE_RENAME(9)					   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual					 VM_PAGE_RENAME(9)

NAME
vm_page_rename -- move a page SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h> #include <vm/vm.h> #include <vm/vm_page.h> void vm_page_rename(vm_page_t m, vm_object_t new_object, vm_pindex_t new_pindex); DESCRIPTION
The vm_page_rename() function removes a page from one object, and adds it to another at the given page index. The page is added to the given object, and is removed from the object that is currently associated with. If the page is currently on the cache queue it will be deactivated unless it is wired or unmanaged, in which case the deactivation will fail. The entire page is marked as dirty after the move. The arguments to vm_page_rename() are: m The page to move. new_object The object the page should be inserted into. new_pindex The page index into new_object at which the new page should be inserted.

VM_PAGE_INSERT(9)					   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual					 VM_PAGE_INSERT(9)

NAME
vm_page_insert, vm_page_remove -- add/remove page from an object SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h> #include <vm/vm.h> #include <vm/vm_page.h> void vm_page_insert(vm_page_t m, vm_object_t object, vm_pindex_t pindex); void vm_page_remove(vm_page_t m); DESCRIPTION
The vm_page_insert() function adds a page to the given object at the given index. The page is added to both the VM page hash table and to the object's list of pages, but the hardware page tables are not updated. In the case of a user page, it will be faulted in when it is accessed. If the page is a kernel page, the caller is expected to handle adding the page to the kernel's pmap. If PG_WRITEABLE is set in the page's flags, OBJ_WRITEABLE and OBJ_MIGHTBEDIRTY are set in the object's flags. The vm_page_remove() function removes the given page from its object, and from the VM page hash table. The page must be busy prior to this call, or the system will panic. The pmap entry for the page is not removed by this function. The arguments to vm_page_insert() are: m The page to add to the object. object The object the page should be added to. pindex The index into the object the page should be at. The arguments to vm_page_remove() are: m The page to remove. IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The index of a page in a VM object is the byte index into the same object truncated to a page boundary. For example, if the page size is 4096 bytes, and the address in the object is 81944, the page index is 20. AUTHORS
