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:
Fa m
The page to add to the object.
Fa object
The object the page should be added to.
Fa pindex
The index into the object the page should be at.
The arguments to
vm_page_remove ();
are:
Fa 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.
