Revoke Mappings: fpage_unmap System Call

  • Unmaps pages directly or indirectly mapped from caller's address space.

  • Unmapping may be:
    • partial (revert to read-only, ``remap''), or
    • complete (pages vanish from other address spaces, ``flush'').
  • The fpage argument defines a region in the caller's address space.
  • All pages within that region which are mapped into other address spaces will be remapped or flushed.

  • Mappings in the caller's address space are
    • unaffected (``other''), or
    • also unmapped (``all'').
