[PATCH 2/3] Add mlockall flag for locking pages on fault

Eric B Munson emunson at akamai.com
Sat May 9 05:33:45 AEST 2015


Building on the previous patch, extend mlockall() to give a process a
way to specify that pages should be locked when they are faulted in, but
that pre-faulting is not needed.
