<youpi> I was considering as soon as mcsim gets his paper
<braunr> right
+
+
+# IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-02-22
+
+ <mcsim> Do I understand correct, that real memory page should be
+ necessarily in one of following lists: vm_page_queue_active,
+ vm_page_queue_inactive, vm_page_queue_free?
+ <braunr> cached pages are
+ <braunr> some special pages used only by the kernel aren't
+ <braunr> pages can be both wired and cached (i.e. managed by the page
+ cache), so that they can be passed to external applications and then
+ unwired (as is the case with your host_slab_info() function if you
+ remember)
+ <braunr> use "physical" instead of "real memory"
+ <mcsim> braunr: thank you.
