I just checked it against mandoc -Tlint, and did some fixes.

The output from mandoc -Tlint in the current form is:

mandoc: share/man/man9/zero_region.9:80:28: STYLE: consider using OS macro: Fx

The output of igor is:

$ igor -R share/man/man9/zero_region.9
zero_region.9:28:date not today, February 25, 2021:.Dd February 24, 2021

Minor issues, still LGTM.

Thanks for contributing this manual page.

do we still need to have $FreeBSD$ in newly added file?

If this will be MFC to 12, then yes. Otherwise no.

khng added a comment.Feb 25 2021, 2:58 AM

This could be MFCed, as zero_region is from FreeBSD 9 era.

Add a line in description to tell developers not to make an assumption.

It would be useful to write a couple of sentences explaining what exactly the example is doing.

59

Note that the exclusive lock is not strictly required by VOP_WRITE. Since vnode locking is not really relevant to the example, I would just omit the assertion.

85

Are you referring to the fact that the zero region is the same 4KB page mapped multiple times (on amd64 at least)? Why is it a caveat? IMPLEMENTATION NOTES is more suitable IMO.

Updates with markj@'s suggestions.
