Hi there,
Is there a way to prevent some page (data, possibly dynamically
assigned) from a process to be swapped ?
I've heard it was possible but how ?
I beleive the sticky bit was used historically to prevent a whole
process to be swapped. What is the precise meaning of it ?
The usage I intend is to avoid swapping sensitive data like Crypto keys,
so locking the whole process in memory is not realy useful.
Thanks
