16*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions[in memory-cache-control send right]
17*5e3eaea3SApple OSS DistributionsThe memory cache control port
18*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionsto be used by the memory manager for cache management requests.
19*5e3eaea3SApple OSS DistributionsThis port is provided by the kernel in a <strong>memory_object_init</strong> call.

26*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
27*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<p>
28*5e3eaea3SApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>memory_object_destroy</strong> function tells the kernel to shut down the
29*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionsspecified memory object.  As a result of this call, the kernel
30*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionsno longer supports
31*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionspaging activity or any memory object calls on the memory object.
32*5e3eaea3SApple OSS DistributionsThe kernel issues
33*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionsa <strong>memory_object_terminate</strong> call to pass to the memory
34*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionsmanager all rights to
35*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionsthe memory object port and the memory control port.
36*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<p>
37*5e3eaea3SApple OSS DistributionsTo ensure that any modified cached data is returned before the object is
38*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionsterminated, the memory manager should call <strong>memory_object_lock_request</strong>
39*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionswith
40*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<var>should_flush</var> set and a
41*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionslock value of <strong>VM_PROT_WRITE</strong> before it makes the
42*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<strong>memory_object_destroy</strong> call.
43*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<h3>NOTES</h3>
44*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<p>
45*5e3eaea3SApple OSS DistributionsThe <var>reason</var> code is currently ignored by the kernel.
46*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
47*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<p>
48*5e3eaea3SApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply.
