101 * Application no longer needs these pages. If the pages are dirty,
102 * it's OK to just throw them away. The app will be more careful about
103 * data it wants to keep. Be sure to free swap resources too. The
104 * zap_page_range call sets things up for refill_inactive to actually free
105 * these pages later if no one else has touched them in the meantime,
106 * although we could add these pages to a global reuse list for
107 * refill_inactive to pick up before reclaiming other pages.
109 * NB: This interface discards data rather than pushes it out to swap,
110 * as some implementations do. This has performance implications for
111 * applications like large transactional databases which want to discard
112 * pages in anonymous maps after committing to backing store the data
113 * that was kept in them. There is no reason to write this data out to
114 * the swap area if the application is discarding it.
116 * An interface that causes the system to free clean pages and flush
117 * dirty pages is already available as msync(MS_INVALIDATE).

167 * The madvise(2) system call.
169 * Applications can use madvise() to advise the kernel how it should
170 * handle paging I/O in this VM area. The idea is to help the kernel
171 * use appropriate read-ahead and caching techniques. The information
172 * provided is advisory only, and can be safely disregarded by the
173 * kernel without affecting the correct operation of the application.
176 * MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters. This
177 * results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
178 * MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
179 * on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
180 * cation will need more than what it asks for.
181 * MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
182 * once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
183 * can be freed soon after they are accessed.
184 * MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
186 * MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
187 * so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
191 * -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
192 * "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
193 * is attempting to release locked or shared pages.
194 * -ENOMEM - addresses in the specified range are not currently
195 * mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
196 * -EIO - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
197 * -EBADF - map exists, but area maps something that isn't a file.
198 * -EAGAIN - a kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
