|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pmap_extract
|
|
function maps a virtual address to a physical page.
|
|
In certain situations, callers may use
|
|
.Fn pmap_extract_and_hold
|
|
instead, to ensure that the returned page is held.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pmap_extract_and_hold
|
|
function maps a virtual address to a physical page, and atomically holds
|
|
the returned page for use by the caller, only if the mapping permits
|
|
the given page protection.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
Currently, the page protection requested by the caller is not verified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the
|
|
.Fn pmap_extract_and_hold
|
|
function, the
|
|
.Dv Giant
|
|
lock is held for the duration of the call to ensure that only a single
|
|
caller is present.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pmap_extract
|
|
function will return the physical page address associated with the
|
|
virtual address
|
|
.Fa va
|
|
inside the physical map
|
|
.Fa pmap .
|
|
If the mapping does not exist, or if the
|
|
.Fa pmap
|
|
parameter is NULL, then NULL will be returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pmap_extract_and_hold
|
|
function will return the physical page address associated with the
|
|
virtual address
|
|
.Fa va
|
|
inside the physical map
|
|
.Fa pmap .
|
|
If the mapping does not exist, the result is a no-op, and NULL will
|
|
be returned.
