[PATCH] mm: add ulimit API for user

From: Xishi Qiu
Date: Tue Dec 31 2013 - 04:14:58 EST


Add ulimit API for users. When memory is not enough,
user's app will receive a signal, and it can do something
in the handler.

e.g.
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
void handler(int sig)
{
char *b = malloc(1000000000);
memset(b, '\0', 1000000000);
printf("catch the signal by wwy\n");
exit(1);
}
int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
struct rlimit r1 = { 3600000000, 3600000000};
setrlimit(RLIMIT_AS, &r1);
signal(47, &handler);
char * a = malloc(3600000000);
int fd=open("/home/wayne/qemu.tar.bz2", O_RDONLY);
char abc[2000000] = {'\0'};
mmap(NULL, 10000000, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd , 0);
sleep(100);
free(a);
while(1){
}
}

RTOS-x86_64 /tmp # ./a.out
catch the signal by wwy
