145 * the swap area if the application is discarding it.

148 * dirty pages is already available as msync(MS_INVALIDATE).

249 * The madvise(2) system call.
251 * Applications can use madvise() to advise the kernel how it should
252 * handle paging I/O in this VM area. The idea is to help the kernel
253 * use appropriate read-ahead and caching techniques. The information
254 * provided is advisory only, and can be safely disregarded by the
255 * kernel without affecting the correct operation of the application.
257 * behavior values:
258 * MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters. This
259 * results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
260 * MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
261 * on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
262 * cation will need more than what it asks for.
263 * MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
264 * once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
265 * can be freed soon after they are accessed.
266 * MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
267 * some pages ahead.
268 * MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
269 * so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
270 * MADV_REMOVE - the application wants to free up the given range of
271 * pages and associated backing store.
273 * return values:
274 * zero - success
275 * -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
276 * "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
277 * is attempting to release locked or shared pages.
278 * -ENOMEM - addresses in the specified range are not currently
279 * mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
280 * -EIO - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
281 * -EBADF - map exists, but area maps something that isn't a file.
282 * -EAGAIN - a kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
