.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm mlockall ,
|
|
.Nm munlockall
|
|
.Nd lock (unlock) the address space of a process
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/mman.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn mlockall "int flags"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn munlockall "void"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mlockall
|
|
system call locks into memory the physical pages associated with the
|
|
address space of a process until the address space is unlocked, the
|
|
process exits, or execs another program image.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following flags affect the behavior of
|
|
.Fn mlockall :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv MCL_CURRENT"
|
|
.It Dv MCL_CURRENT
|
|
Lock all pages currently mapped into the process's address space.
|
|
.It Dv MCL_FUTURE
|
|
Lock all pages mapped into the process's address space in the future,
|
|
at the time the mapping is established.
|
|
Note that this may cause future mappings to fail if those mappings
|
|
cause resource limits to be exceeded.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Since physical memory is a potentially scarce resource, processes are
|
|
limited in how much they can lock down.
|
|
A single process can lock the minimum of a system-wide
|
|
.Dq wired pages
|
|
limit
|
|
.Va vm.max_user_wired
|
|
and the per-process
|
|
.Dv RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
|
|
resource limit.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Va security.bsd.unprivileged_mlock
|
|
is set to 0 these calls are only available to the super-user.
|
|
If
|
|
.Va vm.old_mlock
|
|
is set to 1 the per-process
|
|
.Dv RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
|
|
resource limit will not be applied for
|
|
.Fn mlockall
|
|
calls.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn munlockall
|
|
call unlocks any locked memory regions in the process address space.
|
|
Any regions mapped after an
|
|
.Fn munlockall
|
|
call will not be locked.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
A return value of 0 indicates that the call
|
|
succeeded and all pages in the range have either been locked or unlocked.
|
|
A return value of \-1 indicates an error occurred and the locked
|
|
status of all pages in the range remains unchanged.
|
|
In this case, the global location
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn mlockall
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument is zero, or includes unimplemented flags.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
|
|
Locking the indicated range would exceed either the system or per-process
|
|
limit for locked memory.
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
Some or all of the memory mapped into the process's address space
|
|
could not be locked when the call was made.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The calling process does not have the appropriate privilege to perform
|
|
the requested operation.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mlockall
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn munlockall
|
|
functions are believed to conform to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mlockall
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn munlockall
|
|
functions first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 5.1 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The per-process and system-wide resource limits of locked memory apply
|
|
to the amount of virtual memory locked, not the amount of locked physical
|
|
pages.
|
|
Hence two distinct locked mappings of the same physical page counts as
|
|
2 pages aginst the system limit, and also against the per-process limit
|
|
if both mappings belong to the same physical map.
