Correct me if I'm wrong but locked option is pinning all VM memory in host RAM, for example if I have a VM with 4G memory, and I want to run some QEMU code which needs to pin 500M, I will need to lock all 4G in host memory instead of locking only 500M. Any idea to solve my problem? Regards, Roy On Mon, Mar 21, 2016 at 10:58 AM, Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@redhat.com> wrote:

Hi Jirka,
Thanks for your answer, but I'm looking for a way to set RLIMIT_MEMLOCK without locking all VM memory. I'm wondering if there is a way to set RLIMIT_MEMLOCK without using the methods you wrote above.
No, libvirt doesn't provide any way to do this. But why would you even want to do that? RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is irrelevant when you don't lock the memory.
