I am not sure which is the right mailing list, so sorry about the
cross-posting:
I want to use a lot of memory in my program, so I set the following in
/boot/loader.conf:
kern.maxdsiz=2147483648
kern.maxssiz=2147483648
kern.dfldsiz=2147483648
Then I run this simple program:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
struct rlimit rlp;
getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK,&rlp);
fprintf(stderr,"%lld %lld\n",rlp.rlim_cur,rlp.rlim_max);
rlp.rlim_cur = 512*1024*1024;
fprintf(stderr,"%lld %lld\n",rlp.rlim_cur,rlp.rlim_max);
setrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK,&rlp);
exit(0);
}
and it crashes like this:
2147483648 2147483648
536870912 2147483648
Bus error (core dumped)
Maybe I am expecting too much from the system. I have a dual Athlon MP
system with about 3G of RAM, and I want to be able to use a good portion
of this RAM in a single process. But I also want to use linuxthreads so
that I can take advantage of the two processors. But linuxthreads uses
setrlimit, and crashes in a similar way to my simple program.
I looked at the kernel code in /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_resource.c at the
function dosetrlimit, which I guess is where the action takes place, but
I have no idea what to make of it.
