From bf8f972d3a1daf969cf44f64cc36d53bfd76441f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Badari Pulavarty Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 00:59:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] SHM_NORESERVE flags for shmget() Add SHM_NORESERVE functionality similar to MAP_NORESERVE for shared memory segments. This is mainly to avoid abuse of OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and this flag is ignored for OVERCOMMIT_NEVER.
