--- Comment #9 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to David Chisnall from comment #8)
MADV_FREE has no effect on shared memory (or anything other than private
anonymous memory); see vm_object_advice_applies().  We should update the man
page to that effect.

Aside from emulating Linux's MADV_DONTNEED, I'm not crazy about following t=
he
precedent set by Linux by adding a MADV_ZERO that is required to have speci=
fic
side effects.  msync(2) might be a better entry point for this functionalit=
y?
