In this example the app is requesting 256MB of * memory that is backed by huge pages. The application uses the flag * SHM_HUGETLB in the shmget system call to inform the kernel that it is * requesting huge pages. * * Note: The default shared memory limit is quite low on many kernels, * you may need to increase it via: * * echo 268435456 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax * * This will increase the maximum size per shared memory segment to 256MB. * The other limit that you will hit eventually is shmall which is the * total amount of shared memory in pages. To set it to 16GB on a system * with a 4kB pagesize do: * * echo 4194304 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall */ #include #include #include #include #include #include #define LENGTH (256UL*1024*1024) #define dprintf(x) printf(x) int main(void) { int shmid; unsigned long i; char *shmaddr; shmid = shmget(2, LENGTH, SHM_HUGETLB | IPC_CREAT | SHM_R | SHM_W); if (shmid < 0) { perror("shmget"); exit(1); } printf("shmid: 0x%x\n", shmid); shmaddr = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0); if (shmaddr == (char *)-1) { perror("Shared memory attach failure"); shmctl(shmid, IPC_RMID, NULL); exit(2); } printf("shmaddr: %p\n", shmaddr); dprintf("Starting the writes:\n"); for (i = 0; i < LENGTH; i++) { shmaddr[i] = (char)(i); if (!(i % (1024 * 1024))) dprintf("."); } dprintf("\n"); dprintf("Starting the Check..."); for (i = 0; i < LENGTH; i++) if (shmaddr[i] != (char)i) { printf("\nIndex %lu mismatched\n", i); exit(3); } dprintf("Done.\n"); if (shmdt((const void *)shmaddr) != 0) { perror("Detach failure"); shmctl(shmid, IPC_RMID, NULL); exit(4); } shmctl(shmid, IPC_RMID, NULL); return 0; }
