It was not intended as scorn, simply stating what options you have available as alternatives to what you are asking for. The Firefox behavior certainly seems unfortunate. :( However, using RLIMIT_AS for that should work as the mmap() call malloc() makes will fail causing malloc() to fail. However, you need RLIMIT_AS to be a bit larger than what you would set RLIMIT_DATA to. As to having MAP_ANON honor RLIMIT_DATA, I'm not sure how well that would work. I assume that was discussed as an option in the previous threads on the topic of RLIMIT_DATA being useless with jemalloc. I don't recall it though. Perhaps Alan can speak to whether or not that is a good idea? -- John Baldwin
