Locked memory is the same as pinned memory: In other words, pages
that won't be paged to disk. Applications can request that pages be
locked into memory. The pager won't page locked pages to disk.
Regarding an appropriate value for desktop usage: It depends on what
kinds of applications
Hi
Locked memory is typically used by oracle database, ie ISM/DISM segments
etc, not likely to be used on desktop, apps that use shared memory tend
to try and pin it in memory to give max performance.
I wouldn't think a desktop would need this typically.

Back to the original question (locked-shm-memory on servers):
If you are running multiple applications on a server, and at least one
of them uses shared memory, you should consider using max-shm-memory
or max-locked-memory for the zone that will use shared memory.
Any memory that a process locks
