294 * The madvise(2) system call.

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