VM_PAGE_DEACTIVATE(9)

okay bestie, welcome to VM_PAGE_DEACTIVATE(9) from the Kernel Developer's Manual 💖 this one is short and sweet, but still iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

vm_page_deactivate — deactivate a page 💅

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

okay so first the includes and the signature, bestie:

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

void
vm_page_deactivate(vm_page_t m);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so vm_page_deactivate() does the thing where it moves the given page to the inactive queue 💫. But bestie, it only does that when the page is unmanaged and is not wired. That's the whole condition, no cap.
