vm_page_unmanage(vm_page_t m);
DESCRIPTION
- The vm_page_unmanage() function flags that the page should
- no longer be
managed by the VM system like other pages. The page is re - moved from any
page queue it may be on, and after its PG_UNMANAGED flag is - set, the page
daemon will ignore it (if the page is currently wired, it - will not be
removed from its current queue). - Unmanaged pages are used by OBJT_PHYS objects to provide
- physical memory
backed storage.
