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 .
53.Pp
54The
55.Fn pmap_qremove
56function tears out a mapping from the kernel virtual address space,
57beginning at
58.Fa sva
59and for
60.Fa count
61pages.
62.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
63The
64.Fn pmap_qenter
65function is intended for temporary mappings that do not require page
66modification or reference counting.
67Old mappings are simply overwritten.
68The pages
69.Em must
70be wired into physical memory.
71.Pp
72The corresponding
73.Fn pmap_qremove
74function is intended to remove such temporary mappings.
