+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn vm_page_insert
+function adds a page to the given object at the given index.
+The page is added to both the VM page hash table and to the
+object's list of pages, but the hardware page tables are not updated.
+In the case of a user page, it will be faulted in when it is
+accessed.
+If the page is a kernel page, the caller is expected to
+handle adding the page to the kernel's pmap.
+.Pp
+If
+.Dv PG_WRITEABLE
+is set in the page's flags,
+.Dv OBJ_WRITEABLE
+and
+.Dv OBJ_MIGHTBEDIRTY
+are set in the object's flags.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn vm_page_remove
+function removes the given page from its object, and from the
+VM page hash table.
+The page must be busy prior to this call, or the system will panic.
+The pmap entry for the page is not removed by this function.

+same object truncated to a page boundary.
+For example, if the page size is 4096 bytes, and the address
+in the object is 81944, the page index is 20.
