Summary: Fix setrlimit/getrlimit 32-bit platforms for limits >
2^32-1
Product: glibc
Version: 2.12
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libc
AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
ReportedBy: mtk.manpages@gmail.com
The current glibc wrappers for getrlimit/setrlimit do some work to paper over
this kernel bug:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5042
With the kernel 2.6.36 addition of the prlimit(2) syscall, the wrappers could
be written to use prlimit() and thus avoid the problem resulting from the
broken kernel syscalls.
