PMAP_PAGE_INIT(9)

💅 PMAP_PAGE_INIT 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel Developer's Manual — section 9, kernel-land, where the real ones live ✨ this one's all about pmap_page_init, and ngl it's a lil shorty but she's important 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

pmap_page_init — bestie, this one initializes the machine-dependent fields of a VM page 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta pull in the headers or nothing's gonna work, periodt:

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

void
pmap_page_init(vm_page_t m);

see that void? yeah she returns nothing, she just does the thing 💅 and she takes exactly one arg: m, a vm_page_t. iconic.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the pmap_page_init() function initializes the machine-dependent fields of a VM page structure. literally that's her whole job and she ate 🔥

this procedure is normally used when adding new pages to the VM page queue management lists — so like, when you're onboarding a fresh page into the queue-management friend group, you call her first so the page's machine-dependent fields are all set up and ready to slay 🫶

no cap, that's it. short and sweet, main character energy 💖
