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).

205 * The madvise(2) system call.
207 * Applications can use madvise() to advise the kernel how it should
208 * handle paging I/O in this VM area. The idea is to help the kernel
209 * use appropriate read-ahead and caching techniques. The information
210 * provided is advisory only, and can be safely disregarded by the
211 * kernel without affecting the correct operation of the application.
213 * behavior values:
214 * MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters. This
215 * results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
216 * MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
217 * on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
218 * cation will need more than what it asks for.
219 * MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
220 * once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
221 * can be freed soon after they are accessed.
222 * MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
223 * some pages ahead.
224 * MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
225 * so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
226 * MADV_REMOVE - the application wants to free up the given range of
227 * pages and associated backing store.
229 * return values:
230 * zero - success
231 * -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
232 * "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
233 * is attempting to release locked or shared pages.
234 * -ENOMEM - addresses in the specified range are not currently
235 * mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
236 * -EIO - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
237 * -EBADF - map exists, but area maps something that isn't a file.
238 * -EAGAIN - a kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
