mem= and large file support

btw: with the 26-3um and 2.6.8.1 announce Jeff mentions the new SKAS, ! TT, STATIC allows mem= ~2.75G upper limit but do we need O_LARGEFILE somewhere? or to compile with -D_FILE_OFFSET_64_BITS

[u2](dbahi)277$ ulimit -f
unlimited

linux umid=uml_1 ubd0=/local/umltest/cow/ubd0_1,/local/dbahi/root_fs.rh-9-full ubd1=/local/umltest/cow/ubd1_1,/local/dbahi/swap_fs.256 root=/dev/ubd/0 uml_dir=/local/umltest/umldir hostfs=/local/umltest/hostfs/host_1 mem=2048M eth0=daemon,fe:fd:00:00:00:1,unix,/local/umltest/pipe Checking for the skas3 patch in the host...found
Checking for /proc/mm...found
File size limit exceeded

thank you.

Probably. Can you strace that and see where E2BIG is coming from?

cool - so... it's in tempfile.c : 53
make_tempfile calls mkstemp -

so maybe a build option required to get the
option in with this library call? but which?

info on libc says:

When the sources are compiled with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64' on a 32-bit system this function is in fact tmpfile64', i.e. the LFS interface transparently replaces the old interface.

so i'll try that.

and just for 'create_mem_file' completeness
the devanon case doesn't need attention with
the mmap. right?

yep that does it. here's the simple patch. and proof ;)
