* some pages ahead.
* MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
* so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
+ * MADV_FREE - the application marks pages in the given range as lazy free,
+ * where actual purges are postponed until memory pressure happens.
* MADV_REMOVE - the application wants to free up the given range of
* pages and associated backing store.
* MADV_DONTFORK - omit this area from child's address space when forking:
* typically, to avoid COWing pages pinned by get_user_pages().
* MADV_DOFORK - cancel MADV_DONTFORK: no longer omit this area when forking.
+ * MADV_HWPOISON - trigger memory error handler as if the given memory range
+ * were corrupted by unrecoverable hardware memory failure.
+ * MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE - try to soft-offline the given range of memory.
* MADV_MERGEABLE - the application recommends that KSM try to merge pages in
* this area with pages of identical content from other such areas.
* MADV_UNMERGEABLE- cancel MADV_MERGEABLE: no longer merge pages with others.
+ * MADV_HUGEPAGE - the application wants to back the given range by transparent
+ * huge pages in the future. Existing pages might be coalesced and
+ * new pages might be allocated as THP.
+ * MADV_NOHUGEPAGE - mark the given range as not worth being backed by
