+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn vm_page_bits
+calculates the bits representing the
+.Dv DEV_BSIZE
+range of bytes between
+.Fa base
+and
+.Fa size .
+The byte range is expected to be within a single page, and if
+.Fa size
+is zero no bits will be set.
+.Pp
+.\" ------------------- VM_PAGE_SET_VALIDCLEAN -------------------
+.Fn vm_page_set_validclean
+flags the byte range between
+.Fa base
+and
+.Fa size
+as valid and clean.
+The range is expected to be
+.Dv DEV_BSIZE
+aligned and no larger than
+.Dv PAGE_SIZE .
+If it is not properly aligned, any unaligned chucks of the
+.Dv DEV_BSIZE
+blocks at the beginning and end of the range will be zeroed.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa base
+is zero and
+.Fa size
+is one page the modified bit in the page map is cleared; as well,
+the
+.Dv PG_NOSYNC
+flag is cleared.
+.Pp
+.Fn vm_page_clear_dirty
+clears the dirty bits within a page in the range between
+.Fa base
+and
+.Fa size .
+The bits representing the range are calculated by calling
+.Fn vm_page_bits .
+.Pp
+.Fn vm_page_set_invalid
+clears the bits in both the valid and dirty flags representing
+the
+.Dv DEV_BSIZE
+blocks between
+.Fa base
+and
+.Fa size
+in the page.
+The bits are calculated by calling
+.Fn vm_page_bits .
+As well as clearing the bits within the page, the generation
+number within the object holding the page is incremented.
+.Pp
+.Fn vm_page_zero_invalid
+zeros all of the blocks within the page that are currently
+flaged as invalid.
+If
+.Fa setvalid
+is TRUE, all of the valid bits within the page are set.
+.Pp
+In some cases, such as NFS, the valid bits cannot be set
+in order to maintain cache consistency.
+.Pp
+.Fn vm_page_is_valid
+checks to determine if the all of the
+.Dv DEV_BSIZE
+blocks between
+.Fa base
+and
+.Fa size
+of the page are valid.
+If
+.Fa size
+is zero and the page is entirely invalid
+.Fn vm_page_is_valid
+will return TRUE, in all other cases
+a size of zero will return FALSE.
+.Pp
+.Fn vm_page_test_dirty
+checks if a page has been modified via any of its physical maps,
+and if so flags the entire page as dirty.
+.Fn vm_page_dirty
+is called to modify the dirty bits.
+.Pp
+.Fn vm_page_dirty
+flags the entire page as dirty.
+It is expected that the page is not currently on the cache queue.
+.Pp
+.Fn vm_page_undirty
+clears all of the dirty bits in a page.

+None of these functions are allowed to block.
