113 * Application no longer needs these pages. If the pages are dirty,

115 * data it wants to keep. Be sure to free swap resources too. The
116 * zap_page_range call sets things up for refill_inactive to actually free
117 * these pages later if no one else has touched them in the meantime,
118 * although we could add these pages to a global reuse list for
119 * refill_inactive to pick up before reclaiming other pages.
121 * NB: This interface discards data rather than pushes it out to swap,
122 * as some implementations do. This has performance implications for
123 * applications like large transactional databases which want to discard
124 * pages in anonymous maps after committing to backing store the data
125 * that was kept in them. There is no reason to write this data out to
126 * the swap area if the application is discarding it.
128 * An interface that causes the system to free clean pages and flush
129 * dirty pages is already available as msync(MS_INVALIDATE).

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