Mmap with fork : Resource unavaialable temporarily

installed 64bit 16GB VM on 64bit ESX server.

Written small C code to map the 2GB of memory by mmap after creating 3 child
and map getting failed by throwing "resource unavailable temporarily" after mapping 1.6 GB of memory out of 2GB. But same 1.5Gb memory mapping works fine.

I checked maximum memory limit to 3.7GB and even increased the memory limit by near 4GB by setrlimit() function. Then also behaving same thing

Can any body know on this issue, please let me know

Regards,
---------Siddu

rmfree(9F)						   Kernel Functions for Drivers 						rmfree(9F)

NAME
rmfree - free space back into a resource map SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/map.h> #include <sys/ddi.h> void rmfree(struct map *mp, size_t size, ulong_t index); INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI). PARAMETERS
mp Pointer to the map structure. size Number of units being freed. index Index of the first unit of the allocated resource. DESCRIPTION
The rmfree() function releases space back into a resource map. It is the opposite of rmalloc(9F), which allocates space that is controlled by a resource map structure. When releasing resources using rmfree() the size and index passed to rmfree() must exactly match the size and index values passed to and returned from a previous call to rmalloc(). Resources cannot be returned piecemeal. Drivers may define resource maps for resource allocation, in terms of arbitrary units, using the rmallocmap(9F) function. The system main- tains the resource map structure by size and index, computed in units appropriate for the resource. For example, units may be byte addresses, pages of memory, or blocks. rmfree() frees up unallocated space for re-use. The rmfree() function can also be used to initialize a resource map, in which case the size and index should cover the entire resource area. CONTEXT
The rmfree() function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context. SEE ALSO
