The following reply was made to PR bin/43426; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Garrett Wollman <wollman@lcs.mit.edu> To: Janos Mohacsi <janos.mohacsi@bsd.hu> Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: bin/43426: mlockall and munlockall system calls are missing from FreeBSD Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2002 13:40:12 -0400 (EDT) <<On Fri, 27 Sep 2002 18:18:23 +0200 (CEST), Janos Mohacsi <mohacsi@norfolk.ki.iif.hu> said: > The mlockall and munlockall system calls are missing from FreeBSD. > The mlockall() and munlockall() functions conform to IEEE Std > 1003.1b-1993 (``POSIX''). FreeBSD should support these system calls. FreeBSD-stable does not define _POSIX_MEMLOCK. FreeBSD-current defines _POSIX_MEMLOCK as -1. This indicates to applications that these features are not supported. > Try to import from NetBSD. FreeBSD and NetBSD have completely different virtual-memory systems. The functionality would have to be rewritten from scratch. Perhaps you can interest one of the VM gurus. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
