Subject: [PATCH 3/4] make can_do_mlock useful for mlock/mlockall
Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 11:47:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040929114754.S1924@build.pdx.osdl.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20040929114538.R1924@build.pdx.osdl.net>; from chrisw@osdl.org on Wed, Sep 29, 2004 at 11:45:39AM -0700

Move the simple can_do_mlock() check before the full rlimits based
restriction checks for mlock() and mlockall().  As it is, the check
adds nothing.  This has a side-effect of eliminating an unnecessary call
to can_do_mlock() on the munlockall() path.
