Title:
rss ulimit does not apply
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I am running Ubuntu 10.10.
Setting a resident memory limit via "ulimit -m" or limits.conf has no effect.
Something similar was already reported in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/71024
and marked as fixed.
Setting the virtual memory limit via -v works correctly, but
limits.conf does not allow to set the virtual memory limit? Why?
I am testing with a c program that does an malloc() followed with a
memset(). Instead of receiving an allocation error or the program
getting killed, it can fill up the memory, the machine starts
swapping, and becomes unusable.
