2.6.14-rc5 mlock/munlock bug

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've noticed that between 2.6.14-rc2 and 2.6.14-rc5 mlock() and mlunlock() have broken.

a call to mlock() to lock pages is granted, and the pages are locked, but never
unlocked, even when munlock() is manually called or at process rundown.
No problems under 2.6.13 or up to 2.6.14-rc2. But sometime after -rc2 it goes BANG and the machine gets very unhappy. If you look at "swapon -s" you see more and more swap space is used until there is no physical memory left, then things really get unhappy.
