* [PATCH] madvise() does not always return -EBADF on non-file mapped areasuzuki2005-07-271-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The madvise() system call returns -EBADF for areas which does not map to files, only for *behaviour* request MADV_WILLNEED. According to man pages, madvise returns : EBADF - the map exists, but the area maps something that isn't a file. Fixes bug 2995.

* [PATCH] madvise: merge the mapsPrasanna Meda2005-06-211-29/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This attempts to merge back the split maps. This code is mostly copied from Chrisw's mlock merging from post 2.6.11 trees. The only difference is in munmapped_error handling. Also passed prev to willneed/dontneed, eventhogh they do not handle it now, since I felt it will be cleaner, instead of handling prev in madvise_vma in some cases and in subfunction in some cases.

* [PATCH] madvise: do not split the mapsPrasanna Meda2005-06-211-11/+16
| | | | | | | | | | This attempts to avoid splittings when it is not needed, that is when vm_flags are same as new flags. The idea is from the <2.6.11 mlock_fixup and others. This will provide base for the next madvise merging patch.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
