MADV_DONTNEED is nowadays described as this:
* MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
* so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
Where does your second part of the description come from? There has been
discussion about this on lkml but I didn't follow it. What is the outcome? Is
what you say indeed true and will remain true?
