I'm looking for a way to disable the page cache for an

only disable the page cache for my process and still have it be enabled
by the rest of the system. Is there an easy way of doing this?
Alternatively, I would be fine disabling the Page Cache altogether as well.
Assuming what you really mean is that you don't want to cache
file i/o for that process - try opening files with O_DIRECT.
