Summary: where can I get info about BSD4.2 or 4.3 paging?
Line eater: enabled

Hi.  I'm looking for a paper or publication or something that describes the
ins and outs of the BSD4.2 and 4.3 paging systems.  Specifically, I'd like
to know what kind of page replacement algorithm is used, how paging inter-
acts with swapping, how to tune the paging system, and when to use the
vadvise system call (or whatever will replace it in 4.3).  Please send
email if possible, and if I get enough replies, I will summarize.

Also, I have seen references in this column to processes being memory-locked,
and I would like to know if this can be done with a system call, or if it
requires mucking around with /dev/kmem.  Any info will be appreciated.
