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

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