💖 PMAP_CLEAR_MODIFY(9) 💖

okay bestie, this one is from the Kernel Developer's Manual, and it's all about pmap_clear_modify — yes, we're in kernel-land, but it's lowkey simple, fr fr.

✨ NAME ✨

pmap_clear_modify — set information about physical pages

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

void
pmap_clear_modify(vm_page_t m);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The pmap_clear_modify() function clears the “modified” bit on the physical page m.

That's the whole assignment, no cap. You pass in a vm_page_t m, and the “modified” bit on that physical page gets cleared. Periodt. 💅
