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