| Go through the swapped out sections of a process and deswappify them. | |
Detailed Description
It is possible to ask the kernel to reload part of the swapped out processes. This is done by loading that section of memory (with a simple read() call).
This is based on a perl script found on github:

Function Documentation
◆ deswappify()
| int cppthread::deswappify | ( | pid_t | pid | ) |
This function reads the memory map of a process and searches for sections of memory that were swapped out and read them back in memory.
- Todo:
- Implement necessary check to make sure the data can be swapped back in without causing immediate issues.
- Todo:
- Actually write a function that reads all the blocks and save them in a list with a grand total for the size. Then we can make the decision of swapping that process back in or not.
- Parameters
-
[in] pid The process identifier.
- Returns
- 0 if no error occurred, an errno otherwise
