.Fn vm_page_try_to_free "vm_page_t m"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vm_page_free_toq
|
|
function moves a page into the free queue, and disassociates it from
|
|
its object.
|
|
If the page is held, wired, already free, or its busy count is not
|
|
zero, the system will panic.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dv PG_ZERO
|
|
flag is set on the page, it is placed at the end of the free queue;
|
|
otherwise, it is placed at the front.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the page's object is of type
|
|
.Dv OBJT_VNODE
|
|
and it is the last page associated with the object, the underlying
|
|
vnode may be freed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vm_page_free
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn vm_page_free_zero
|
|
functions both call
|
|
.Fn vm_page_free_toq
|
|
to actually free the page, but
|
|
.Fn vm_page_free_zero
|
|
sets the
|
|
.Dv PG_ZERO
|
|
flag and
|
|
.Fn vm_page_free
|
|
clears the
|
|
.Dv PG_ZERO
|
|
flag prior to the call to
|
|
.Fn vm_page_free_toq .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vm_page_try_to_free
|
|
function verifies that the page is not held, wired, busy or dirty, and
|
|
if so, marks the page as busy, drops any protection that may be set on
|
|
the page, and frees it.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn vm_page_try_to_free
|
|
returns 1 if it is able to free the page; otherwise, 0 is returned.
