The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be
used this can incur a high penalty for locking.
For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large
statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical
models as well). For the security example, any application transacting
in data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records,
etc).
This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not
pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally
faulted in.
To keep accounting checks out of the page fault path, users are billed
for the entire mapping lock as if MAP_LOCKED was used.
