45 .Nd lock/unlock user space addresses in memory
52 .Fn vslock "void *addr" "size_t len"
54 .Fn vsunlock "void *addr" "size_t len"
60 functions respectively lock and unlock a range of
61 addresses belonging to the currently running process into memory.
62 The actual amount of memory locked is a multiple of the machine's page size.
63 The starting page number is computed by truncating
65 to the nearest preceding page boundary, and by rounding up
68 to the next page boundary.
69 The process context to use for this operation is taken from the
75 function will return 0 on success, otherwise it will return
76 one of the errors listed below.
80 function will fail if:
87 parameters specify a memory range that wraps around the end of the
88 machine address space.
90 The size of the specified address range exceeds the system
91 limit on locked memory.
93 Locking the requested address range would cause the process to exceed
94 its per-process locked memory limit.
96 Some portion of the indicated address range is not allocated.
97 There was an error faulting/mapping a page.
