3.4 Locking Pages

You can tell the system to associate a particular virtual memory page with a real page frame and keep it that way -- i.e. cause the page to be paged in if it isn't already and mark it so it will never be paged out and consequently will never cause a page fault. This is called locking a page.

The functions in this chapter lock and unlock the calling process' pages.
