OpenVPN is an open source VPN daemon
b0bff55901
If --mlock is used, the amount of memory OpenVPN can use is guarded
by the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK value (see mlockall(2)). The OS default for this
is usually 64 Kbyte, which is enough for OpenVPN to initialize, but
as soon as the first TLS handshake comes it, OpenVPN will crash due
to "ouf of memory", and might even end up in a crash loop.
Steady-state OpenVPN requires between 8 MB and 30-50 MB (servers with
many concurrent clients) of memory. TLS renegotiation with EC keys
requires up to 90 MB of transient memory.
So: with this patch, we check if getrlimit() is available, and if yes,
log the amount of mlock'able memory. If the amount is below 100 MB,
which is an arbitrary value "large enough for most smaller deployments",
we try to increase the limits to 100 MB, and abort if this fails.
v2:
change arbitrary number to 100 MB, introduce #define for it
not only check but also increase with setrlimit()
uncrustify fixes
v3:
OpenSolaris has mlockall() and getrlimit(), but no RLIMIT_MEMLOCK -
make code conditional on HAVE_GETRLIMIT *and* RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
