[2.6.22.2 review 61/84] do not limit locked memory when RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is RLIM_INFINITY

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

 



From: Herbert van den Bergh <[email protected]>

Fix a bug in mm/mlock.c on 32-bit architectures that prevents a user from
locking more than 4GB of shared memory, or allocating more than 4GB of
shared memory in hugepages, when rlim[RLIMIT_MEMLOCK] is set to
RLIM_INFINITY.
