30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm pmap_qenter ,
33.Nm pmap_qremove
34.Nd manage temporary kernel space mappings
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In sys/param.h
37.In vm/vm.h
38.In vm/pmap.h
39.Ft void
40.Fn pmap_qenter "vm_offset_t sva" "vm_page_t *m" "int count"
41.Ft void
42.Fn pmap_qremove "vm_offset_t sva" "int count"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn pmap_qenter
46function accepts a linear array of
47.Fa count
48pointers to wired pages
49.Fa *m ,
50and enters each of these pages into the kernel virtual address (KVA) space,
51beginning at the address
52.Fa sva .
53The pages are mapped non-executable.
54.Pp
55The
56.Fn pmap_qremove
57function tears out a mapping from the kernel virtual address space,
58beginning at
59.Fa sva
60and for
61.Fa count
62pages.
63.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
64The
65.Fn pmap_qenter
66function is intended for temporary mappings that do not require page
67modification or reference counting.
68Old mappings are simply overwritten.
69The pages
70.Em must
71be wired into physical memory.
72.Pp
73The corresponding
74.Fn pmap_qremove
75function is intended to remove such temporary mappings.
