Ok. Mind giving this a quick review for any style or other issues that hang out (except the printks)? thanks -john This patch provides new madvise flags that can be used to mark memory as volatile, which will allow it to be discarded if the kernel wants to reclaim memory. This is very much influenced by the Android Ashmem interface by Robert Love so credits to him and the Android developers. In many cases the code & logic come directly from the ashmem patch. The intent of this patch is to allow for ashmem-like behavior, but embeds the idea a little deeper into the VM code, instead of isolating it into a specific driver. Note, this only provides half of the ashmem functionality, as ashmem also works on files as well, so similar fadvise calls will also be needed to provide full ashmem coverage. Also many thanks to Dave Hansen who helped design and develop the initial version of this patch, and has provided continued review and mentoring in the VM code.
