|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm vm_map_submap
|
|
.Nd create a subordinate map
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In vm/vm.h
|
|
.In vm/vm_map.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn vm_map_submap "vm_map_t map" "vm_offset_t start" "vm_offset_t end" "vm_map_t submap"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vm_map_submap
|
|
function marks the range bounded by
|
|
.Fa start
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa end
|
|
within the map
|
|
.Fa map
|
|
as being handled by a subordinate map
|
|
.Fa sub_map .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is generally called by the kernel memory allocator.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
This function is for internal use only.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Both maps must exist.
|
|
The range must have been created with
|
|
.Xr vm_map_find 9
|
|
previously.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
No other operations may have been performed on this range
|
|
before calling this function.
|
|
Only the
|
|
.Fn vm_fault
|
|
operation may be performed within this range after calling
|
|
this function.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To remove a submapping, one must first remove the range from
|
|
the parent
|
|
.Fa map ,
|
|
and then destroy the
|
|
.Fa sub_map .
|
|
This procedure is not recommended.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vm_map_submap
|
|
function returns
|
|
.Dv KERN_SUCCESS
|
|
if successful.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Otherwise, it returns
|
|
.Dv KERN_INVALID_ARGUMENT
|
|
if the caller requested copy-on-write flags,
|
|
or if the range specified for the sub-map was out of range for the parent map,
|
|
or if a NULL backing object was specified.
