[Bug 1463627] Re: Limiting the data size doesn't work

 

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade?  Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.1 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Limiting the data size doesn't work

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 dev with libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.1ubuntu3 and if
  I'm limiting the data size with "ulimit -d 8192" and executing for
  example the testcase from this ticket (
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1462853 ) I'm
  noticing that the data size can still be more than 8 MiB (in this case
  ~2 GiB).
