Working with some data conversion here (that will eventually go into an SQLite database). I'm hoping you IO wizards can offer some help on a question that I've been trying to get answered.
I'm using Solaris 10 for this. If I mmap a large file and use madvise with MADV_SEQUENTIAL and MADV_WILLNEED, then start processing the file, when will the system discard pages that have been referenced? I guess what I'm wondering is if there is any retention of "back" pages? Say for example I start reading the file, and after consuming 24,576 bytes, will the first or second pages still be in memory (assuming 8192 byte pages)?
