<h3>PARAMETERS</h3>
<dl>
<p>
<dt> <var>memory_object</var> 
<dd>
[in abstract-memory-object (receive) right]
The abstract memory
object port that represents the memory object data.
<p>
<dt> <var>seqno</var> 
<dd>
[in scalar]
The sequence number of this message relative to the abstract 
memory object port.
<p>
<dt> <var>memory_control</var> 
<dd>
[in memory-cache-control send right]
The memory cache control port 
to be used for a response by the memory manager.  If the memory
object has been supplied to more than one kernel, this parameter
identifies the kernel that is making the call.
<p>
<dt> <var>offset</var> 
<dd>
[in scalar]
The offset within the memory object.
<p>
<dt> <var>length</var> 
<dd>
[in scalar]
The number of bytes to which the access applies, starting at 
<var>offset</var>.  The number converts to an integral number of memory object 
pages.
<p>
<dt> <var>desired_access</var> 
<dd>
[in scalar]
The memory access modes requested for the cached data. 
Possible values are obtained by or'ing together the following values:
<dl>
<p>
<dt> <strong>VM_PROT_READ</strong>
<dd>
Allows read access.
<p>
<dt> <strong>VM_PROT_WRITE</strong>
<dd>
Allows write access.
<p>
<dt> <strong>VM_PROT_EXECUTE</strong>
<dd>
Allows execute access.
</dl>
</dl>
<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
<p>
A <strong>memory_object_data_unlock</strong> function is called as the
result of a kernel
message requesting the memory manager to permit at least the
desired access to the 
specified data cached by the kernel.  The memory manager is expected
to use the 
<strong>memory_object_lock_request</strong> call in response.
<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
<p>
Only generic errors apply.
