NAME

kmem_free - free kernel wired memory

SYNOPSIS



void kmem_free(void *p, size_t size)

DESCRIPTION

kmem_free() frees kernel wired memory allocated by kmem_alloc() or kmem_zalloc() so that it can be used for other purposes. It takes the following arguments.

p
The pointer to the memory being freed. It must be the one returned by kmem_alloc() or kmem_zalloc().

size
The size of the memory being freed, in bytes. It must be the same as the size argument used for kmem_alloc() or kmem_zalloc() when the memory was allocated.

Freeing NULL is illegal.
