Right. Pinned pages are not inherited. If a page is unpinned then that is going to happen for all address spaces that reference the page. > But I totally missed patch bc3e53f682d that introduced pinned_vm, AFAICT that > also wrecked some accounting. We should still account both against > RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. The point of the patch was to unwreck accounting. Before the patch mlocked pages were counted twice which resulted in stramge VM scenarios where more pages were mlocked than memory available. Note that a pinned page may also be mlocked. Simply adding the two will reintroduce the problems that were fixed by the patch. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe trinity" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
