I think I may have worded my response poorly. The page size, as returned by
sysconf(), is does not appear to be the same as the page size that is set by
chatr.
$ cat u.cpp && aCC u.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main ()
{
printf ("%ld\n", sysconf (_SC_PAGE_SIZE));
return 0;
}
$ chatr +pd 1M +pi 1M a.out > /dev/null && ./a.out
4096
$ chatr +pd 4M +pi 4M a.out > /dev/null && ./a.out
4096
A quick glance at the documentation for chatr says that +pd and +pi are only
hints for the virtual memory page size, so that may explain the difference
I'm seeing. Interestingly, you can set values for up to 4GB.
