Defines the number of pages that the system requires be unlocked. If a request to lock pages would force available memory below this value, that request is refused.
Unsigned long
The greater of (tune_t_minarmem + 100 and [4% of memory available at boot time + 4 Mbytes])
Minimum value enforced by the system is tune_t_minarmem + 100. The system does not enforce a maximum value.
Pages
Yes, unless dynamic reconfiguration operations that add or delete memory occur. At that point, the value is reset to whatever was provided in the /etc/system file or was calculated.
If the value specified in the /etc/system file or the calculated default is less than tune_t_minarmem + 100, the value is reset to tune_t_minarmem + 100.
No message is displayed if the value from the /etc/system file is increased. Done only at boot time, and during dynamic reconfiguration operations that involve adding or deleting memory.
When memory locking requests or attaching to a shared memory segment with the SHARE_MMU flag fails, yet the amount of memory available seems to be sufficient.
Excessively large values can cause memory locking requests (mlock(3C), mlockall(3C), andmemcntl(2)) to fail unnecessarily.
