// Discardable memory backed by the MADV_FREE advice value, available since
// Linux 4.5.
//
// When unlocked, this implementation of discardable memory will
// apply the MADV_FREE advice value to all pages within the allocated range,
// causing pages to be discarded instead of swapped upon memory pressure.
// When pages are discarded, they become zero-fill-on-demand pages.
// Attempting to unlock an already-unlocked instance is undefined behaviour.
//
// When locked, all pages will be checked for eviction. If any page has
// been discarded, the entire allocated range is unmapped and the lock fails.
// After a failed lock, the instance remains unlocked but any further attempts
// to lock will fail. Additionally, the discardable memory instance is
// invalidated and access to memory obtained via data() is undefined behaviour.
// Attempting to lock an already-locked instance is undefined behaviour. If no
// page in the allocated range has been discarded, then lock succeeds and the
// allocated range of memory is available for use without any page fault,
// additional allocations, or memory zeroing.
//
// If DCHECK_IS_ON(), additional checks are added to ensure that the discardable
// memory instance is being used correctly. These checks are not present by
// default, as some incur a significant performance penalty or do not warrant
// crashing the process. These checks are:
// -    Do not allow lock while already locked or unlock while already unlocked
// -    Do not allow memory access via data() if instance is deallocated after
//      Lock() (although invalid memory can still be accessed through existing
//      pointers)
// -    After Unlock(), disallow read or write of memory pointed to by data()
//      with PROT_NONE until next Lock()
//
// Caveats:
// [1]: The smallest allocation unit is the size of a page, so it is
//      unsuitable for small allocations.
//
// [2]: The size of a discardable memory instance must be greater than 0 bytes.
