22 * Later we can get more picky about what "in core" means precisely.
23 * For now, simply check to see if the page is in the page cache,
24 * and is up to date; i.e. that no page-in operation would be required
25 * at this time if an application were to map and access this page.

33 * When tmpfs swaps out a page from a file, any process mapping that

35 * any other file mapping (ie. marked !present and faulted in with
36 * tmpfs's .nopage). So swapped out tmpfs mappings are tested here.
38 * However when tmpfs moves the page from pagecache and into swapcache,
39 * it is still in core, but the find_get_page below won't find it.
40 * No big deal, but make a note of it.

143 * The status is returned in a vector of bytes. The least significant
144 * bit of each byte is 1 if the referenced page is in memory, otherwise
147 * Because the status of a page can change after mincore() checks it
148 * but before it returns to the application, the returned vector may
149 * contain stale information. Only locked pages are guaranteed to

157 * invalid for the address space of this process, or
158 * specify one or more pages which are not currently
160 * -EAGAIN - A kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
