bp_mapout 9F "15 Nov 1996" "SunOS 5.11" "Kernel Functions for Drivers"
NAME
bp_mapout - deallocate virtual address space
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/buf.h> void bp_mapout(struct buf *bp);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
bp
Pointer to the buffer header structure.
DESCRIPTION
bp_mapout() deallocates system virtual address space allocated by a previous call to bp_mapin(9F).bp_mapout() should only be called on buffers which have been allocated and are owned by the device driver. It must not be called on buffers passed to the driver through the strategy(9E) entry point (for example a filesystem). Because bp_mapin(9F) does not keep a reference count, bp_mapout() will wipe out any kernel mapping that a layer above the device driver might rely on.
CONTEXT
bp_mapout() can be called from user context only.
