+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm vm_map_find
+.Nd find a free region within a map, and optionally map a vm_object
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/param.h
+.In vm/vm.h
+.In vm/vm_map.h
+.Ft int
+.Fo vm_map_find
+.Fa "vm_map_t map" "vm_object_t object" "vm_ooffset_t offset"
+.Fa "vm_offset_t *addr" "vm_size_t length" "int find_space"
+.Fa "vm_prot_t prot" "vm_prot_t max" "int cow"
+.Fc
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn vm_map_find
+function attempts to find a free region in the target
+.Fa map ,
+with the given
+.Fa length ,
+and will also optionally create a mapping of
+.Fa object .
+.Pp
+The arguments
+.Fa offset ,
+.Fa prot ,
+.Fa max ,
+and
+.Fa cow
+are passed unchanged to
+.Xr vm_map_insert 9
+when creating the mapping, if and only if a free region is found.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa object
+is
+.Pf non- Dv NULL ,
+the reference count on the object must be incremented
+by the caller before calling this function to account for the new entry.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa find_space
+is either
+.Dv VMFS_ALIGNED_SPACE 
+or
+.Dv VMFS_ANY_SPACE ,
+the function will call
+.Xr vm_map_findspace 9
+to discover a free region.
+Moreover, if
+.Fa find_space
+is
+.Dv VMFS_ALIGNED_SPACE ,
+the address of the free region will be optimized for the use of superpages.
+Otherwise, if
+.Fa find_space
+is
+.Dv VMFS_NO_SPACE ,
+.Xr vm_map_insert 9
+is called with the given address,
+.Fa addr .
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+This function acquires a lock on
+.Fa map
+by calling
+.Xr vm_map_lock 9 ,
+and holds it until the function returns.
+.Pp
+The search for a free region is defined to be first-fit, from the address
+.Fa addr
+onwards.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn vm_map_find
+function returns
+.Dv KERN_SUCCESS
+if the mapping was successfully created.
+If space could not be found or
+.Fa find_space
+was
+.Dv VMFS_NO_SPACE
+and the given address,
+.Fa addr ,
+was already mapped,
+.Dv KERN_NO_SPACE
+will be returned.
+If the discovered range turned out to be bogus,
+.Dv KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS
+will be returned.
