Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] mm/fadvise: introduce POSIX_FADV_MLOCK
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 03:27:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251121032718.1993528-1-jaegeuk@kernel.org> (raw)

This patch introduces a new POSIX_FADV_MLOCK which 1) invalidates the range of
cached pages, 2) sets the mapping as inaccessible, 3) POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED loads
pages directly to the inaccessible mapping.

The inaccessible pages will be invalidated by evict_inode or explicit munlock().
