[PATCH] include private data mappings in RLIMIT_DATA limit

From: Herbert van den Bergh
Date: Mon Jul 09 2007 - 20:43:26 EST



This patch changes how the kernel limits memory allocations that are
controlled by setrlimit() using the RLIMIT_DATA resource. Currently the
kernel can limit the size of a process data, bss, and heap, but does not
limit the amount of process private memory that can be allocated with
the mmap() call. Since malloc() calls mmap() to allocate process memory
once brk() calls can no longer grow the heap, process private memory
allocations cannot be limited with RLIMIT_DATA.

With this patch, not only memory in the data segment of a process, but
also private data mappings, both file-based and anonymous, are counted
toward the RLIMIT_DATA resource limit. Executable mappings, such as
text segments of shared objects, are not counted toward the private data
limit. The result is that malloc() will fail once the combined size of
the data segment and private data mappings reaches this limit.

This brings the Linux behavior in line with what is documented in the
POSIX man page for setrlimit(3p).
