60.Sh DESCRIPTION
61The
62.Fn vm_map_lock
63macro obtains an exclusive lock on
64.Fa map .
65.Pp
66The
67.Fn vm_map_unlock
68macro releases an exclusive lock on
69.Fa map .
70.Pp
71The
72.Fn vm_map_lock_read
73macro obtains a read-lock on
74.Fa map .
75Currently this is implemented as an exclusive lock.
76.Pp
77The
78.Fn vm_map_unlock_read
79macro releases a read-lock on
80.Fa map .
81.Pp
82The
83.Fn vm_map_trylock
84macro attempts to obtain an exclusive lock on
85.Fa map .
86It returns FALSE if the lock cannot be immediately acquired;
87otherwise return TRUE with the lock acquired.
88.Pp
89The
90.Fn vm_map_trylock_read
91macro attempts to obtain a read-lock on
92.Fa map .
93It returns FALSE if the lock cannot be immediately acquired;
94otherwise return TRUE with the lock acquired.
95Currently this is implemented as an exclusive lock.
96.Pp
97The
98.Fn vm_map_lock_upgrade
99macro attempts to atomically upgrade a read-lock on
100.Fa map
101to an exclusive lock.
102As read-locks are currently implemented as exclusive locks,
103this macro is a no-op.
104.Pp
105The
106.Fn vm_map_lock_downgrade
107macro attempts to downgrade an exclusive lock on
108.Fa map
109to a read-lock.
110As read-locks are currently implemented as exclusive locks,
111this macro is a no-op.
112.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
113Currently, all of the locking macros implement their locks as sleep locks.
