[LTP] [PATCH v2] syscalls/mlock05: add mlock test for locking and pre-faulting of memory

Mon Apr 29 15:33:36 CEST 2024


check VmRSS and VmLck variables from /proc/$pid/status.
VmRSS size should at least as big as the memory allocation.
VmLck size should be equal to the size of the memory allocation.
