Subject: do not limit locked memory when RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is RLIM_INFINITY
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc1~1011
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5ed44a401ddfc60e11c3484e86f0c8285051139a;p=~emulex%2Finfiniband.git

do not limit locked memory when RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is RLIM_INFINITY

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.
