  89 * applications like large transactional databases which want to discard
  90 * pages in anonymous maps after committing to backing store the data
  91 * that was kept in them.  There is no reason to write this data out to
  92 * the swap area if the application is discarding it.
  93 *
  94 * An interface that causes the system to free clean pages and flush
  95 * dirty pages is already available as msync(MS_INVALIDATE).

 143 * The madvise(2) system call.

 145 * Applications can use madvise() to advise the kernel how it should
 146 * handle paging I/O in this VM area.  The idea is to help the kernel
 147 * use appropriate read-ahead and caching techniques.  The information
 148 * provided is advisory only, and can be safely disregarded by the
 149 * kernel without affecting the correct operation of the application.
 150 *
 151 * behavior values:
 152 *  MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters.  This
 153 *              results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
 154 *  MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
 155 *              on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
 156 *              cation will need more than what it asks for.
 157 *  MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
 158 *              once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
 159 *              can be freed soon after they are accessed.
 160 *  MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
 161 *              some pages ahead.
 162 *  MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
 163 *              so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
 164 *
 165 * return values:
 166 *  zero    - success
 167 *  -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
 168 *              "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
 169 *              is attempting to release locked or shared pages.
 170 *  -ENOMEM - addresses in the specified range are not currently
 171 *              mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
 172 *  -EIO    - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
 173 *  -EBADF  - map exists, but area maps something that isn't a file.
 174 *  -EAGAIN - a kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
