[PATCH] fix madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) for nonlinear vmas
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Jamie points out that madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) should unmap pages from a nonlinear area in such a way that the nonlinear offsets are preserved if the pages do turn out to be needed later after all, instead of reverting them to linearity: needs to pass down a zap_details block. (But this still leaves mincore unaware of nonlinear vmas: bigger job.)
