287 * The madvise(2) system call.
289 * Applications can use madvise() to advise the kernel how it should
290 * handle paging I/O in this VM area. The idea is to help the kernel
291 * use appropriate read-ahead and caching techniques. The information
292 * provided is advisory only, and can be safely disregarded by the
293 * kernel without affecting the correct operation of the application.
295 * behavior values:
296 * MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters. This
297 * results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
298 * MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
299 * on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
300 * cation will need more than what it asks for.
301 * MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
302 * once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
303 * can be freed soon after they are accessed.
304 * MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
305 * some pages ahead.
306 * MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
307 * so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
308 * MADV_REMOVE - the application wants to free up the given range of
309 * pages and associated backing store.
310 * MADV_DONTFORK - omit this area from child's address space when forking:
311 * typically, to avoid COWing pages pinned by get_user_pages().
312 * MADV_DOFORK - cancel MADV_DONTFORK: no longer omit this area when forking.
313 * MADV_MERGEABLE - the application recommends that KSM try to merge pages in
314 * this area with pages of identical content from other such areas.
315 * MADV_UNMERGEABLE- cancel MADV_MERGEABLE: no longer merge pages with others.
317 * return values:
318 * zero - success
319 * -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
320 * "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
321 * is attempting to release locked or shared pages.
322 * -ENOMEM - addresses in the specified range are not currently
323 * mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
324 * -EIO - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
325 * -EBADF - map exists, but area maps something that isn't a file.
326 * -EAGAIN - a kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
