.Dd July 21, 2003 .Dt PMAP_REMOVE 9 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm pmap_remove , .Nm pmap_remove_all , .Nm pmap_remove_pages .Nd remove pages from a physical map .Sh SYNOPSIS n sys/param.h n vm/vm.h n vm/pmap.h .Ft void .Fn pmap_remove "pmap_t pmap" "vm_offset_t sva" "vm_offset_t eva" .Ft void .Fn pmap_remove_all "vm_page_t m" .Ft void .Fn pmap_remove_pages "pmap_t pmap" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn pmap_remove function removes the range of addresses between .Fa sva and .Fa eva from the physical map .Fa pmap . If .Fa eva is less than .Fa sva , then the result is undefined. It is assumed that both .Fa sva and .Fa eva are page-aligned addresses.

p The .Fn pmap_remove_all removes the physical page .Fa m from all physical maps in which it resides, and reflects back the modify bits to the appropriate pager.

p The .Fn pmap_remove_pages function removes all user pages from the physical map .Fa pmap . This function is called when a process exits to run down its address space more quickly than would be the case for calling .Fn pmap_remove . .Sh SEE ALSO .Fn pmap 9 .Sh AUTHORS This manual page was written by .An Bruce M Simpson Aq bms@spc.org .
