Each sequence of calls to one of the image I/O routines is associated with a unique identifier, the so called transfer identifier. Before the first call, 0 should be assigned to this identifier. When upon return the identifier has a value < 0, an error has occurred. ... These further calls must be made using the unmodified transfer identifier. ... With the help of this identifier, it is possible to handle subsets which contain more data than there is room for in your read/write buffer. ...

... I am developing an Informed Prefetching and Caching system as part of the kernel in which it is very important that the memory assigned to hold the data does not get swapped to disk. Without any thought to swapping I used vmalloc() to assign memory to the data structures of the Informed prefetching system. ... I later realized that most probably the pages assigned using vmalloc() were getting swapped to the disk and when I referenced them, they were brought from the disk rather than memory. ...
