NAME

       vm_page_wire, vm_page_unwire — wire and unwire pages

SYNOPSIS

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

       void
       vm_page_wire(vm_page_t m);

       void
       vm_page_unwire(vm_page_t m, int activate);

DESCRIPTION

       The vm_page_wire() function increments the wire count on a page, and removes it from whatever queue it is
       on.

       The vm_page_unwire() function releases one of the wirings on the page.  When write_count reaches zero the
       page is placed back onto either the active queue (if activate is non-zero) or onto the inactive queue (if
       activate is zero).  If the page is unmanaged (PG_UNMANAGED is set) then the page is left on PQ_NONE.
