io_uring_prep_madvise - prepare a madvise request
Contents
Description
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.
Errors
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.
