NAME

       vm_page_rename — move a page

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/param.h>
       #include <vm/vm.h>
       #include <vm/vm_page.h>

       void
       vm_page_rename(vm_page_t m, vm_object_t new_object, vm_pindex_t new_pindex);

DESCRIPTION

       The  vm_page_rename()  function  removes a page from one object, and adds it to another at the given page
       index.  The page is added to the given  object,  and  is  removed  from  the  object  that  is  currently
       associated  with.   If the page is currently on the cache queue it will be deactivated unless it is wired
       or unmanaged, in which case the deactivation will fail.  The entire page is marked  as  dirty  after  the
       move.

       The arguments to vm_page_rename() are:

       m           The page to move.

       new_object  The object the page should be inserted into.

       new_pindex  The page index into new_object at which the new page should be inserted.
