.Nd "allocate a page for a"
|
|
.Vt vm_object
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In vm/vm.h
|
|
.In vm/vm_page.h
|
|
.Ft vm_page_t
|
|
.Fn vm_page_alloc "vm_object_t object" "vm_pindex_t pindex" "int req"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vm_page_alloc
|
|
function allocates a page at
|
|
.Fa pindex
|
|
within
|
|
.Fa object .
|
|
It is assumed that a page has not already been allocated at
|
|
.Fa pindex .
|
|
The page returned is inserted into the object, unless
|
|
.Dv VM_ALLOC_NOOBJ
|
|
is specified in the
|
|
.Fa req .
|
|
The page may exist in the vm object cache, in which case it will
|
|
be reactivated instead, moving from the cache into the object page list.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vm_page_alloc
|
|
will not sleep.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Its arguments are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fa object"
|
|
.It Fa object
|
|
The VM object to allocate the page for.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa object
|
|
must be locked if
|
|
.Dv VM_ALLOC_NOOBJ
|
|
is not specified.
|
|
.It Fa pindex
|
|
The index into the object at which the page should be inserted.
|
|
.It Fa req
|
|
The bitwise-inclusive OR of a class and any optional flags indicating
|
|
how the page should be allocated.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Exactly one of the following classes must be specified:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT"
|
|
.It Dv VM_ALLOC_NORMAL
|
|
The page should be allocated with no special treatment.
|
|
.It Dv VM_ALLOC_SYSTEM
|
|
The page can be allocated if the cache is empty and the free
|
|
page count is above the interrupt reserved water mark.
|
|
This flag should be used only when the system really needs the page.
|
|
.It Dv VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT
|
|
.Fn vm_page_alloc
|
|
is being called during an interrupt.
|
|
A page will be returned successfully if the free page count is greater
|
|
than zero.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The optional flags are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv VM_ALLOC_IFNOTCACHED"
|
|
.It Dv VM_ALLOC_NOBUSY
|
|
The returned page will not be exclusive busy.
|
|
.It Dv VM_ALLOC_NODUMP
|
|
The returned page will not be included in any kernel core dumps
|
|
regardless of whether or not it is mapped in to KVA.
|
|
.It Dv VM_ALLOC_NOOBJ
|
|
Do not associate the allocated page with a vm object.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa object
|
|
argument is ignored.
|
|
.It Dv VM_ALLOC_IFCACHED
|
|
Allocate the page only if it is cached.
|
|
Otherwise, return
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.It Dv VM_ALLOC_IFNOTCACHED
|
|
Only allocate the page if it is not cached in the
|
|
.Fa object .
|
|
If the page at the specified
|
|
.Fa pindex
|
|
is cached, NULL is returned instead.
|
|
.It Dv VM_ALLOC_SBUSY
|
|
The returned page will be shared busy.
|
|
.It Dv VM_ALLOC_WIRED
|
|
The returned page will be wired.
|
|
.It Dv VM_ALLOC_ZERO
|
|
Indicate a preference for a pre-zeroed page.
|
|
There is no guarantee that the returned page will be zeroed, but it
|
|
will have the
|
|
.Dv PG_ZERO
|
|
flag set if it is zeroed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Vt vm_page_t
|
|
that was allocated is returned if successful; otherwise,
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
The pager process is always upgraded to
|
|
.Dv VM_ALLOC_SYSTEM
|
|
unless
|
|
.Dv VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT
|
|
is set.
