31.Sh NAME
32.Nm pmap_page_exists_quick
33.Nd determine if a page exists in a physical map
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In sys/param.h
36.In vm/vm.h
37.In vm/pmap.h
38.Ft boolean_t
39.Fn pmap_page_exists_quick "pmap_t pmap" "vm_page_t m"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Fn pmap_page_exists_quick
43function is used to quickly determine if the page
44.Fa m
45exists in the physical map
46.Fa pmap .
47It is typically called from the VM paging code.
48.Sh RETURN VALUES
49The
50.Fn pmap_page_exists_quick
51returns
52.Dv TRUE
53only if the PV entry for the physical map
54.Fa pmap
55is one of the first 16 PVs linked from the page
56.Fa m .
57.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
58The PV count used above may be changed upwards or downwards in future;
59it is only necessary that
60.Dv TRUE
61be returned for a small subset of pmaps for proper page aging.
