getrlimit、setrlimit-CSDN博客

每个进程都有一组资源的限制，通过getrlimit、setrlimit能查寻和改变资源限制。

getrlimit, setrlimit, prlimit - get/set resource limits

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>

int getrlimit(int resource, struct rlimit *rlim);
int setrlimit(int resource, const struct rlimit *rlim);

//Return： 0 if OK， nonzero on error

系统资源限制是系统启动时由进程0设置的，且由后续的进程继承。
其中特殊的结构rlimit如下：

struct rlimit {
               rlim_t rlim_cur;  /* Soft limit */
               rlim_t rlim_max;  /* Hard limit (ceiling for rlim_cur) */
};

改变资源限制的三个准则

进程的软限制(soft limit)需要小于等于硬限制(hard limit)
进程可以降低其硬限制，以大于等于soft limit。注意：降低硬限制对一般用户不可逆！
仅仅超级用户进程(superuser process)可以提高硬限制

常量RLIM_INFINITY表示无限的限制
resource使用如下图的参数(Linux 3.2.0)：

Resource
RLIMIT_AS	The maximum size in bytes of a process’s total available memory. This affects the sbrk function (Section 1.11) and the mmap function (Section 14.8).
RLIMIT_CORE	The maximum size in bytes of a core file. A limit of 0 prevents the creation of a core file.
RLIMIT_CPU	The maximum amount of CPU time in seconds. When the soft limit is exceeded, the SIGXCPU signal is sent to the process.
RLIMIT_DATA	The maximum size in bytes of the data segment: the sum of the initialized data, uninitialized data, and heap from Figure 7.6.
RLIMIT_FSIZE	The maximum size in bytes of a file that may be created. When the soft limit is exceeded, the process is sent the SIGXFSZ signal.
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK	The maximum amount of memory in bytes that a process can lock into memory using mlock(2).
RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE	The maximum amount of memory in bytes that a process can allocate for POSIX message queues.
RLIMIT_NICE	The limit to which a process’s nice value (Section 8.16) can be raised to affect its scheduling priority.
RLIMIT_NOFILE	The maximum number of open files per process. Changing this limit affects the value returned by the sysconf function for its _SC_OPEN_MAX argument (Section 2.5.4). See Figure 2.17 also.
RLIMIT_NPROC	The maximum number of child processes per real user ID. Changing this limit affects the value returned for _SC_CHILD_MAX by the sysconf function (Section 2.5.4).
RLIMIT_RSS	Maximum resident set size (RSS) in bytes. If available physical memory is low, the kernel takes memory from processes that exceed their RSS.
RLIMIT_SIGPENDING	The maximum number of signals that can be queued for a process. This limit is enforced by the sigqueue function (Section 10.20).
RLIMIT_STACK	The maximum size in bytes of the stack. See Figure 7.6.

shell有limit command：set or report file size limit

Example:

打印出系统当前的soft limit和hard limit

#include <sys/resource.h>
#define doit(name) pr_limit(#name, name)
static void pr_time(char *name, int resource)
{
    struct rlimit limit;
    if(getrlimit(resource, &limit) < 0)//获取资源
        出错处理;
    printf("%s ", name);
    if(limit.rlim_cur == RLIM_INFINITY)//查看当前的soft limit
        printf("(infinity)");
    else
        printf("%d\n", limit.rlim_cur);
    if(limit.rlim_max == RLIM_INFINITY)//查看硬限制hard limit
        printf("(infinity)");
    else
        printf("%d\n", limit.rlim_max);
}
