Subject: [Linux-ia64] VM strict overcommit on RedHat AS 2.1 kernel 2.4.18-e12 ?
Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2003 13:10:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590709805741@msgid-missing> (raw)
Hello,
A customer requires for his internal application a more strict implementation of the VM :
-> When malloc returns a non-NULL pointer the memory is really available !
How can I obtain this behavior using RedHat AS 2.1 kernel 2.4.18-e12 ?
I know that Alan Cox has a patch and that a lot of job is currently done in kernel 2.5 .
This patch is partially integrated in the kernel 2.4.18-e12 delivered with the RedHat Advanced Server 2.1.
But there is a difference between the documentation about overcommit_memory in sysctl/vm.txt and the code really implemented in mm/mmap.c
Is there any reason for that ?
Thanks for your help
