22 * and is up to date; i.e. that no page-in operation would be required
23 * at this time if an application were to map and access this page.

84 * The mincore(2) system call.
86 * mincore() returns the memory residency status of the pages in the
87 * current process's address space specified by [addr, addr + len).
88 * The status is returned in a vector of bytes. The least significant
89 * bit of each byte is 1 if the referenced page is in memory, otherwise
92 * Because the status of a page can change after mincore() checks it
93 * but before it returns to the application, the returned vector may
94 * contain stale information. Only locked pages are guaranteed to
99 * -EFAULT - vec points to an illegal address
100 * -EINVAL - addr is not a multiple of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE
101 * -ENOMEM - Addresses in the range [addr, addr + len] are
102 * invalid for the address space of this process, or
103 * specify one or more pages which are not currently
105 * -EAGAIN - A kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
