Subject: mlock(1)
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 15:57:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <41547C16.4070301@pobox.com> (raw)


How feasible is it to create an mlock(1) utility, that would allow 
priveleged users to execute a daemon such that none of the memory the 
daemon allocates will ever be swapped out?

ntp daemon does mlock(2) internally, for example, but IMHO this is 
really a policy decision that could be moved out of the app.

Unfortunately I am VM-ignorant as always ;-)

	Jeff
