NAME         top

       io_uring_prep_madvise - prepare a madvise request

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <sys/mman.h>
       #include <liburing.h>

       void io_uring_prep_madvise(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
                                  void *addr,
                                  __u32 len,
                                  int advice);

       void io_uring_prep_madvise64(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
                                    void *addr,
                                    off_t len,
                                    int advice);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The io_uring_prep_madvise(3) function prepares an madvise request.
       The submission queue entry sqe is setup to start an madvise
       operation at the virtual address of addr and of len length in
       bytes, giving it the advise located in advice.

       The io_uring_prep_madvise64(3) function works like
       io_uring_prep_madvise(3) except that it takes a 64-bit length
       rather than just a 32-bit one. Older kernels may not support the
       64-bit length variant. If this variant is attempted used on a
       kernel that doesn't support 64-bit lengths, then the request will
       get errored with -EINVAL in the results field of the CQE.

       This function prepares an async madvise(2) request. See that man
       page for details.

RETURN VALUE         top

       None

ERRORS         top

       The CQE res field will contain the result of the operation. See
       the related man page for details on possible values. Note that
       where synchronous system calls will return -1 on failure and set
       errno to the actual error value, io_uring never uses errno.
       Instead it returns the negated errno directly in the CQE res
       field.
