252 * use appropriate read-ahead and caching techniques. The information
253 * provided is advisory only, and can be safely disregarded by the
254 * kernel without affecting the correct operation of the application.
256 * behavior values:
257 * MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters. This
258 * results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
259 * MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
260 * on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
261 * cation will need more than what it asks for.
262 * MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
263 * once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
264 * can be freed soon after they are accessed.
265 * MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
266 * some pages ahead.
267 * MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
268 * so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
269 * MADV_REMOVE - the application wants to free up the given range of
270 * pages and associated backing store.
272 * return values:
273 * zero - success
274 * -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
275 * "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
276 * is attempting to release locked or shared pages.
277 * -ENOMEM - addresses in the specified range are not currently
278 * mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
279 * -EIO - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
280 * -EBADF - map exists, but area maps something that isn't a file.
281 * -EAGAIN - a kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
