.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vm_map_wire
|
|
function is responsible for wiring pages in the range between
|
|
.Fa start
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa end
|
|
within the map
|
|
.Fa map .
|
|
Wired pages are locked into physical memory, and may not be paged out
|
|
as long as their wire count remains above zero.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vm_map_unwire
|
|
function performs the corresponding unwire operation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument is a bit mask, consisting of the following flags:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dv VM_MAP_WIRE_USER
|
|
flag is set, the function operates within user address space.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dv VM_MAP_WIRE_HOLESOK
|
|
flag is set, it may operate upon an arbitrary range within the
|
|
address space of
|
|
.Fa map .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a contiguous range is desired, callers should explicitly express
|
|
their intent by specifying the
|
|
.Dv VM_MAP_WIRE_NOHOLES
|
|
flag.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
Both functions will attempt to acquire a lock on the map using
|
|
.Xr vm_map_lock 9
|
|
and hold it for the duration of the call.
|
|
If they detect
|
|
.Dv MAP_ENTRY_IN_TRANSITION ,
|
|
they will call
|
|
.Xr vm_map_unlock_and_wait 9
|
|
until the map becomes available again.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The map could have changed during this window as it was held by another
|
|
consumer, therefore consumers of this interface should check for this
|
|
condition using the return values below.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vm_map_wire
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn vm_map_unwire
|
|
functions have identical return values.
|
|
The functions return
|
|
.Dv KERN_SUCCESS
|
|
if all pages within the range were [un]wired successfully.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Otherwise, if the specified range was not valid,
|
|
or if the map changed while the
|
|
.Dv MAP_ENTRY_IN_TRANSITION
|
|
flag was set,
|
|
.Dv KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS
|
|
is returned.
