I think infinity is the right solution: The only common case where infinity is wrong would be Android - and Android disables sysv shm entirely. There are two patches: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=139730332306185&q=raw http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=139727299800644&q=raw Could you apply one of them? I wrote the first one, thus I'm biased which one is better. -- Manfred -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
