DESCRIPTION

The Fn vm_page_rename function removes a page from one object, and adds it to another at the given page index. The page is added to the given object, and is removed from the object that is currently associated with. If the page is currently on the cache queue it will be deactivated unless it is wired or unmanaged, in which case the deactivation will fail. The entire page is marked as dirty after the move.

The arguments to Fn vm_page_rename are:

Fa m

The page to move.

Fa new_object

The object the page should be inserted into.

Fa new_pindex

The page index into Fa new_object at which the new page should be inserted.
