From: Diego Nieto Cid <dnie...@gmail.com> Hello,
These are all the patches in the series of virtual memory limits support, through the POSIX setrlimit's RLIMIT_AS resource. It encompasses changes to gnumach, hurd and glibc. I tested the glibc part using a simple program that sets a limit of 1GB and then tries to mmap a bigger chunk of memory. It was run using the script provided by the library, testrun.sh. The gnumach part has it's own test in the kernel test suite. What I couldn't test is the Hurd patch, particularly the translators like ext2fs which must be started with settrans and I didn't find a way to use the patched glibc. (I'm not sure how to use testrun.sh from glibc in a settrans call) Any comments appreciated :) Thanks, Diego
