.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.B munlockall
|
|
|
|
reenables paging for all pages mapped into the address space of the
|
|
|
|
calling process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Memory locks do not stack, i.e., pages which have been locked several times
|
|
|
|
by calls to
|
|
|
|
.B mlock
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.B mlockall
|
|
|
|
will be unlocked by a single call to
|
|
|
|
.BR munlockall .
|
|
|
|
Pages which are mapped to several locations or by several processes stay
|
|
|
|
locked into RAM as long as they are locked at least at one location or by
|
|
|
|
at least one process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On POSIX systems on which
|
|
|
|
.B mlockall
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.B munlockall
|
|
|
|
are available,
|
|
|
|
.B _POSIX_MEMLOCK
|
|
|
|
is defined in
|
|
|
|
.I <unistd.h> .
|
|
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
|
|
On success,
|
|
|
|
.B munlockall
|
|
|
|
returns zero. On error, \-1 is returned and
|
|
|
|
.I errno
|
|
|
|
is set appropriately.
|
|
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B EPERM
|
|
|
|
The calling process has insufficient privilege to call
|
|
|
|
.BR munlockall .
|
|
|
|
Under Linux the
|
|
|
|
.B CAP_IPC_LOCK
|
|
|
|
capability is required.
|
|
|
|
.\" Weirdness this way comes: CAP_IPC_LOCK is required for munlockall()
|
|
|
|
.\" and shmctl(SHM_UNLOCK), but is *not* required for munlock
|
|
|
|
.\" (as at kernel 2.6.6)
