Someone would need to understand the bug that was fixed by splitting them. I think it had to do with double accounting pinned and mlocked pages and thus delivering a lower than expected limit to userspace. vfio has this bug, RDMA does not. RDMA has a bug where it can overallocate locked memory, vfio doesn't. Really unclear how to fix this. The pinned/locked split with two buckets may be the right way. Jason
