.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn vm_page_bits
|
|
calculates the bits representing the
|
|
.Dv DEV_BSIZE
|
|
range of bytes between
|
|
.Fa base
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa size .
|
|
The byte range is expected to be within a single page, and if
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
is zero no bits will be set.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.\" ------------------- VM_PAGE_SET_VALIDCLEAN -------------------
|
|
.Fn vm_page_set_validclean
|
|
flags the byte range between
|
|
.Fa base
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
as valid and clean.
|
|
The range is expected to be
|
|
.Dv DEV_BSIZE
|
|
aligned and no larger than
|
|
.Dv PAGE_SIZE .
|
|
If it is not properly aligned, any unaligned chucks of the
|
|
.Dv DEV_BSIZE
|
|
blocks at the beginning and end of the range will be zeroed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa base
|
|
is zero and
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
is one page the modified bit in the page map is cleared; as well,
|
|
the
|
|
.Dv PG_NOSYNC
|
|
flag is cleared.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vm_page_clear_dirty
|
|
clears the dirty bits within a page in the range between
|
|
.Fa base
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa size .
|
|
The bits representing the range are calculated by calling
|
|
.Fn vm_page_bits .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vm_page_set_invalid
|
|
clears the bits in both the valid and dirty flags representing
|
|
the
|
|
.Dv DEV_BSIZE
|
|
blocks between
|
|
.Fa base
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
in the page.
|
|
The bits are calculated by calling
|
|
.Fn vm_page_bits .
|
|
As well as clearing the bits within the page, the generation
|
|
number within the object holding the page is incremented.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vm_page_zero_invalid
|
|
zeros all of the blocks within the page that are currently
|
|
flaged as invalid.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa setvalid
|
|
is TRUE, all of the valid bits within the page are set.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In some cases, such as NFS, the valid bits cannot be set
|
|
in order to maintain cache consistency.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vm_page_is_valid
|
|
checks to determine if the all of the
|
|
.Dv DEV_BSIZE
|
|
blocks between
|
|
.Fa base
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
of the page are valid.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
is zero and the page is entirely invalid
|
|
.Fn vm_page_is_valid
|
|
will return TRUE, in all other cases
|
|
a size of zero will return FALSE.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vm_page_test_dirty
|
|
checks if a page has been modified via any of its physical maps,
|
|
and if so flags the entire page as dirty.
|
|
.Fn vm_page_dirty
|
|
is called to modify the dirty bits.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vm_page_dirty
|
|
flags the entire page as dirty.
|
|
It is expected that the page is not currently on the cache queue.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vm_page_undirty
|
|
clears all of the dirty bits in a page.
