Subject: Write allocated mallocs
Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 19:41:48 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <010701c1ca27$dc05fdc0$60d53318@pbc.adelphia.net> (raw)

I have noticed some unexpected behavior of my Linux 2.4.7 kernel. It appears
that my user level task is only allowed 512 mallocs before each malloc
starts getting physical memory. I want to malloc virtual address space and
only get physical memory when I write to a page. Is this some compiled
constant in the kernel? Are there any ways to get more? Where can I read
about such architecture decisions, so other behavior won't be so unexpected?
