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

munlock
MLOCK(2) BSD System Calls Manual MLOCK(2)
NAME
mlock, munlock -- lock (unlock) physical pages in memory
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
int
mlock(const void *addr, size_t len);
int
munlock(const void *addr, size_t len);
DESCRIPTION
The mlock() system call locks into memory the physical pages associated with the virtual address range starting at addr for len bytes. The
munlock() system call unlocks pages previously locked by one or more mlock() calls. For both, the addr argument should be aligned to a mul-
tiple of the page size. If the len argument is not a multiple of the page size, it will be rounded up to be so. The entire range must be
allocated.
After an mlock() system call, the indicated pages will cause neither a non-resident page nor address-translation fault until they are
unlocked. They may still cause protection-violation faults or TLB-miss faults on architectures with software-managed TLBs. The physical
pages remain in memory until all locked mappings for the pages are removed. Multiple processes may have the same physical pages locked via
their own virtual address mappings. A single process may likewise have pages multiply-locked via different virtual mappings of the same
pages or via nested mlock() calls on the same address range. Unlocking is performed explicitly by munlock() or implicitly by a call to
munmap() which deallocates the unmapped address range. Locked mappings are not inherited by the child process after a fork(2).
Since physical memory is a potentially scarce resource, processes are limited in how much they can lock down. A single process can mlock()
the minimum of a system-wide ``wired pages'' limit and the per-process RLIMIT_MEMLOCK resource limit.
These calls are only available to the super-user.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.
If the call succeeds, all pages in the range become locked (unlocked); otherwise the locked status of all pages in the range remains
unchanged.
ERRORS
The mlock() system call will fail if:
[EPERM] The caller is not the super-user.
[EINVAL] The address given is not page aligned or the length is negative.
[EAGAIN] Locking the indicated range would exceed either the system or per-process limit for locked memory.
[ENOMEM] Some portion of the indicated address range is not allocated. There was an error faulting/mapping a page.
The munlock() system call will fail if:
[EPERM] The caller is not the super-user.
[EINVAL] The address given is not page aligned or the length is negative.
[ENOMEM] Some portion of the indicated address range is not allocated.

HISTORY
The mlock() and munlock() system calls first appeared in 4.4BSD.
BUGS
Allocating too much wired memory can lead to a memory-allocation deadlock which requires a reboot to recover from.
The per-process resource limit is a limit on the amount of virtual memory locked, while the system-wide limit is for the number of locked
physical pages. Hence a process with two distinct locked mappings of the same physical page counts as 2 pages against the per-process limit
and as only a single page in the system limit.
The per-process resource limit is not currently supported.
