117 * these pages later if no one else has touched them in the meantime,

121 * NB: This interface discards data rather than pushes it out to swap,

123 * applications like large transactional databases which want to discard
124 * pages in anonymous maps after committing to backing store the data
125 * that was kept in them. There is no reason to write this data out to
126 * the swap area if the application is discarding it.
128 * An interface that causes the system to free clean pages and flush
129 * dirty pages is already available as msync(MS_INVALIDATE).

224 * The madvise(2) system call.
226 * Applications can use madvise() to advise the kernel how it should
227 * handle paging I/O in this VM area. The idea is to help the kernel
228 * use appropriate read-ahead and caching techniques. The information
229 * provided is advisory only, and can be safely disregarded by the
230 * kernel without affecting the correct operation of the application.
232 * behavior values:
233 * MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters. This
234 * results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
235 * MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
236 * on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
237 * cation will need more than what it asks for.
238 * MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
239 * once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
240 * can be freed soon after they are accessed.
241 * MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
242 * some pages ahead.
243 * MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
244 * so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
245 * MADV_REMOVE - the application wants to free up the given range of
246 * pages and associated backing store.
248 * return values:
249 * zero - success
250 * -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
251 * "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
252 * is attempting to release locked or shared pages.
253 * -ENOMEM - addresses in the specified range are not currently
254 * mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
255 * -EIO - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
256 * -EBADF - map exists, but area maps something that isn't a file.
257 * -EAGAIN - a kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
