106 * Application no longer needs these pages. If the pages are dirty,
107 * it's OK to just throw them away. The app will be more careful about
108 * data it wants to keep. Be sure to free swap resources too. The
109 * zap_page_range call sets things up for refill_inactive to actually free
110 * these pages later if no one else has touched them in the meantime,
111 * although we could add these pages to a global reuse list for
112 * refill_inactive to pick up before reclaiming other pages.
114 * NB: This interface discards data rather than pushes it out to swap,
115 * as some implementations do. This has performance implications for
116 * applications like large transactional databases which want to discard
117 * pages in anonymous maps after committing to backing store the data
118 * that was kept in them. There is no reason to write this data out to
119 * the swap area if the application is discarding it.
121 * An interface that causes the system to free clean pages and flush
122 * dirty pages is already available as msync(MS_INVALIDATE).

172 * The madvise(2) system call.
174 * Applications can use madvise() to advise the kernel how it should
175 * handle paging I/O in this VM area. The idea is to help the kernel
176 * use appropriate read-ahead and caching techniques. The information
177 * provided is advisory only, and can be safely disregarded by the
178 * kernel without affecting the correct operation of the application.
181 * MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters. This
182 * results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
183 * MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
184 * on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
185 * cation will need more than what it asks for.
186 * MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
187 * once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
188 * can be freed soon after they are accessed.
189 * MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
191 * MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
192 * so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
196 * -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
197 * "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
198 * is attempting to release locked or shared pages.
199 * -ENOMEM - addresses in the specified range are not currently
200 * mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
201 * -EIO - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
202 * -EBADF - map exists, but area maps something that isn't a file.
203 * -EAGAIN - a kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
