Hi Andrew,

> I assume that you tested it too?

Yes, my x86_64 box works well.

sorry, ambiguity e-mail.

halesh's test check two point.
  - mlock rlimit
  - invlid address range

and, I think rlimit already works well.
So, I ask halesh re-confirming.

Yes.
this patch wasn't tested on split-lru yet.
I'll do that. (and probably fix it)
