144 * the swap area if the application is discarding it.
146 * An interface that causes the system to free clean pages and flush
147 * dirty pages is already available as msync(MS_INVALIDATE).

266 * The madvise(2) system call.
268 * Applications can use madvise() to advise the kernel how it should
269 * handle paging I/O in this VM area. The idea is to help the kernel
270 * use appropriate read-ahead and caching techniques. The information
271 * provided is advisory only, and can be safely disregarded by the
272 * kernel without affecting the correct operation of the application.
274 * behavior values:
275 * MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters. This
276 * results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
277 * MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
278 * on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
279 * cation will need more than what it asks for.
280 * MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
281 * once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
282 * can be freed soon after they are accessed.
283 * MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
284 * some pages ahead.
285 * MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
286 * so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
287 * MADV_REMOVE - the application wants to free up the given range of
288 * pages and associated backing store.
290 * return values:
291 * zero - success
292 * -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
293 * "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
294 * is attempting to release locked or shared pages.
295 * -ENOMEM - addresses in the specified range are not currently
296 * mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
297 * -EIO - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
298 * -EBADF - map exists, but area maps something that isn't a file.
299 * -EAGAIN - a kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
