Local fix

  • Temporary Workaround:-
    
    vmo -r -o page_steal_method=0
    

Problem summary

  • rmcd performs mlock of an mmap()d VxFS file. A subsequent
    store to that file may crash the system.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Properly manage the in-memory page frame lists for mlock()d
    and mmap()d page frames with protection exceptions.
    

Temporary fix
