NAME vrange - Mark or unmark range of memory as volatile SYNOPSIS int vrange(unsigned_long start, size_t length, int mode, int *purged); DESCRIPTION Applications can use vrange(2) to advise the kernel how it should handle paging I/O in this VM area. The idea is to help the kernel discard pages of vrange instead of reclaiming when memory pressure happens. It means kernel doesn't discard any pages of vrange if there is no memory pressure. mode: VRANGE_VOLATILE hint to kernel so VM can discard in vrange pages when memory pressure happens. VRANGE_NONVOLATILE hint to kernel so VM doesn't discard vrange pages any more. If user try to access purged memory without VRANGE_NOVOLATILE call, he can encounter SIGBUS if the page was discarded by kernel. purged: Pointer to an integer which will return 1 if mode == VRANGE_NONVOLATILE and any page in the affected range was purged. If purged returns zero during a mode == VRANGE_NONVOLATILE call, it means all of the pages in the range are intact. RETURN VALUE On success vrange returns the number of bytes marked or unmarked. Similar to write(), it may return fewer bytes then specified if it ran into a problem. If an error is returned, no changes were made. ERRORS EINVAL This error can occur for the following reasons: * The value length is negative or not page size units. * addr is not page-aligned * mode not a valid value.
