Okay... Here is the issue. I have an rtlinux application
that is attempting to allocate 17k using the calloc function.
rtl_debug informs me that it is indeed a page fault (exceptionVector = 0xe)
and a stack dump in gdb shows this occurs in calloc ( actually
in __libc_calloc).
I notice that if I dynamically allocate memory in small enough chunks
(like less than 128 bytes at a time) I am safe for awhile but eventually
will cause a page fault if I go too far.
I have 128M of memory in the PC. I have set append="mem=127M" in lilo.conf.
Some other interesting facts...
The kpm process manager shows the following statistics:
mem 124M avail, 26M used
47M buffered, 40M cache
9852K free
I am running under rtlinux 3.0 (the 2.2.18-rtl kernel) Red Hat 6.2
Can anyone enlighten me... provide hints as to where to look next?
I am at a loss and now just want to drink coffee instead of bang my
head against this problem any longer.
Many thanks for any ideas/suggestions...... Steve
