Dear all,

I am newbie to open source, forgive me with text format 
I am trying to run  LTP with kernel 3.16 on target board having cortex A9  processor ,
Facing issue with below test case: 
Test script  name: "memcg_function_test.sh"
Test case description:  "Test mmap(locked) + alloc_mem > limit_in_bytes"

Analysis:  memcg_function_test.sh   -----> test_proc_kill
						                  ------->memcg_lib.sh
									             -------->memcg_process
    memcg_process ------>ltp/testcases/kernel/controllers/memcg/functional/memcg_process.c
  
mmap_lock1 () function is calling in memcg_process.c and 
it calls mmap function with flags MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANYNOMOUS | MAP_LOCKED
{noformat}
p = mmap(NULL, memsize, PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ,
      MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_LOCKED, 0, 0);          
{noformat}

but man page of mmap is mentioned as:
{noformat} 
MAP_ANONYMOUS
        The  mapping  is  not  backed  by  any  file; its contents are initialized to zero.  The fd and offset arguments are
        ignored; however, some implementations require fd to be -1 if MAP_ANONYMOUS (or MAP_ANON) is specified, and portable
        applications should ensure this.  The use of MAP_ANONYMOUS in conjunction with MAP_SHARED is only supported on Linux
        since kernel 2.4.
{noformat}

In my case, we are trying to lock the pages with flags  MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANYNOMOUS |  MAP_LOCKED  and  it is failing.
and with  MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANYNOMOUS |  MAP_LOCKED , it is failing
but with MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_LOCKED and 
with MAP_SHARED | MAP_LOCKED it is working.

Is there any changes made to kernel or 
test case has to update with MAP_SHARED instead of MAP_PRIVATE flag.

Thank you in advance.
Regards
Satish.G
