    mm: warn about VmData over RLIMIT_DATA · d977d56c
    Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
    This patch provides a way of working around a slight regression
    introduced by commit 84638335 ("mm: rework virtual memory
    accounting").
    
    Before that commit RLIMIT_DATA have control only over size of the brk
    region.  But that change have caused problems with all existing versions
    of valgrind, because it set RLIMIT_DATA to zero.
    
    This patch fixes rlimit check (limit actually in bytes, not pages) and
    by default turns it into warning which prints at first VmData misuse:
    
      "mmap: top (795): VmData 516096 exceed data ulimit 512000.  Will be forbidden soon."
    
    Behavior is controlled by boot param ignore_rlimit_data=y/n and by sysfs
    /sys/module/kernel/parameters/ignore_rlimit_data.  For now it set to "y".
