42*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
43*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<p>
44*5c2921b0SApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>default_pager_add_segment</strong> function is called to add a partition to
45*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributionsa default pager's backing storage (i.e. expand the amount of backing
46*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributionsstorage available to a memory manager). The kernel does not make
47*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributionsthis call itself (which is why it can be a synchronous call); this
48*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributionsrequest is only issued by tasks holding the backing store port,
49*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributionscreated with <strong>default_pager_backing_store_create</strong>, for a default memory
50*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributionsmanager.
51*5c2921b0SApple OSS DistributionsThe result is that the pager may use count records on device starting
52*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributionsat offset for paging, and each record is record_size bytes in length
53*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions(note that the device_* calls are, or can be, record oriented).

56*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<p>
57*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<dt> <strong>KERN_FAILURE</strong>
58*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<dd>
59*5c2921b0SApple OSS DistributionsThe default pager does not support this operation.
60*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<p>
61*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<dt> <strong>KERN_INVALID_ARGUMENT</strong>
62*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<dd>
63*5c2921b0SApple OSS DistributionsThe <var>backing_store</var> port does not represent a valid backing store or the
64*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributionsspecified segment overlaps an existing partition.
65*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<p>
66*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<dt> <strong>KERN_RESOURCE_SHORTAGE</strong>
67*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<dd>
68*5c2921b0SApple OSS DistributionsThe default pager is unable to allocate internal resources
69*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions     to manage the new backing storage.
70*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<p>
71*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<dt> <strong>KERN_SUCCESS</strong>
72*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<dd>
73*5c2921b0SApple OSS DistributionsThe operation was successful.
