Subject: madvise on file pages
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2003 21:59:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Law11-F124d2VqKwRPQ00000a39@hotmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
Could someone inform as to what is the behavior when madvise DONTNEED is
called on pages that are mmap'd from local files mapped with MAP_SHARED,
i.e. they share the same page that the file cache does. In such cases, can
madvise be made to release specific pages in the file cache by mmap-ing the
relevant file segment ?
thanks,
Muthian.
