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