Hello, I have a question, I have a little application and sbrks and then mmaps to get memory from the system. Originally, this program worked fine because I had assumed that my applications address space would be continuous, each subsequent memory request would "mapped" next to each other, after all this is the address space for this process. However, what I am finding is that the space is discontiguous, I am getting back addresses not next to each other. Sometimes the next memory allocation is several megs above where the previous mapping came from. Is this possible? Or am I not accounting for something? Yes, I have intentionally defined malloc, calloc, etc. so they can not be used under the hood within my code.
BTW, seeing this on 2.6.9 and 2.4.(?) - these are both RH supplied kernels TIA!
