It appears to be part of IEEE 1003.1 (REALTIME), aka POSIX, which says:

"The mlock() function shall cause those whole pages containing any part
of the address space of the process starting at address addr and
continuing for len bytes to be memory-resident until unlocked or until
the process exits or execs another process image. [...] Memory residency
of unlocked pages is unspecified."
