261 * use appropriate read-ahead and caching techniques. The information
262 * provided is advisory only, and can be safely disregarded by the
263 * kernel without affecting the correct operation of the application.
265 * behavior values:
266 * MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters. This
267 * results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
268 * MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
269 * on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
270 * cation will need more than what it asks for.
271 * MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
272 * once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
273 * can be freed soon after they are accessed.
274 * MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
275 * some pages ahead.
276 * MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
277 * so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
278 * MADV_REMOVE - the application wants to free up the given range of
279 * pages and associated backing store.
281 * return values:
282 * zero - success
283 * -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
284 * "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
285 * is attempting to release locked or shared pages.
286 * -ENOMEM - addresses in the specified range are not currently
287 * mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
288 * -EIO - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
289 * -EBADF - map exists, but area maps something that isn't a file.
290 * -EAGAIN - a kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
