PMAP_PROTECT(9) 					   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual					   PMAP_PROTECT(9)

NAME

     pmap_page_protect, pmap_protect -- set physical page protection

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <vm/vm.h>
     #include <vm/pmap.h>

     void
     pmap_page_protect(vm_page_t m, vm_prot_t prot);

     void
     pmap_protect(pmap_t pmap, vm_offset_t sva, vm_offset_t eva, vm_prot_t pr);

DESCRIPTION

     The pmap_page_protect() function lowers the physical page permissions to prot for all mappings of a given page m.

     The pmap_protect() function sets the physical page permissions to prot for all physical pages in the physical map pmap in the virtual address
     range between sva and eva.

PMAP_EXTRACT(9) 					   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual					   PMAP_EXTRACT(9)

NAME

     pmap_extract, pmap_extract_and_hold -- map a virtual address to a physical page

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <vm/vm.h>
     #include <vm/pmap.h>

     vm_paddr_t
     pmap_extract(pmap_t pmap, vm_offset_t va);

     vm_paddr_t
     pmap_extract_and_hold(pmap_t pmap, vm_offset_t va, vm_prot_t prot);

DESCRIPTION

     The pmap_extract() function maps a virtual address to a physical page.  In certain situations, callers may use pmap_extract_and_hold()
     instead, to ensure that the returned page is held.

     The 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.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

     Currently, the page protection requested by the caller is not verified.

RETURN VALUES

     The pmap_extract() function will return the physical page address associated with the virtual address va inside the physical map pmap.  If
     the mapping does not exist, or if the pmap parameter is NULL, then NULL will be returned.

     The pmap_extract_and_hold() function will return the physical page address associated with the virtual address va inside the physical map
     pmap.  If the mapping does not exist, the result is a no-op, and NULL will be returned.
