如何从golang程序中设置ulimit-n

Question

我的目的是在golang程序中设置ulimit-n，这样我就不必全局设置它，而是在程序中限制它。

发现系统调用setrlimit和get rlimit。(http://linux.die.net/man/2/setrlimit)

但当我尝试一个相同的示例程序时，我在设置值时遇到了一个错误，说参数无效。

package main
import (
    "fmt"
    "syscall"
)
func main() {
    var rLimit syscall.Rlimit
    err := syscall.Getrlimit(syscall.RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rLimit)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error Getting Rlimit ", err)
    }
    fmt.Println(rLimit)
    rLimit.Max = 999999
    rLimit.Cur = 999999
    err = syscall.Setrlimit(syscall.RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rLimit)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error Setting Rlimit ", err)
    }
    err = syscall.Getrlimit(syscall.RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rLimit)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error Getting Rlimit ", err)
    }
    fmt.Println("Rlimit Final", rLimit)
}

获得的输出为：

george@george-Not-Specified ~/work/odesk/progium/trial $ ./getRlimit 
{4294963002032703 0}
Error Setting Rlimit  invalid argument
Rlimit Final {4294963002032703 999999}
george@george-Not-Specified ~/work/odesk/progium/trial $ sudo ./getRlimit 
[sudo] password for george:

Error Setting Rlimit  invalid argument 
Rlimit Final {4294963002032703 999999}

george@george-Not-Specified ~/work/odesk/progium/trial $ 

所以我得到了rlimit设置限制失败并返回错误。即使失败了，当我再次取值时，最大值也发生了变化，但CUR值保持不变。这个错误可能是由于我的内核出现问题，还是程序不好？我在哪里可以找到更多信息，以及如何处理这样的问题？

更新：

修复后工作。

Answer 1

它按预期工作。

setrlimit（2）。

软限制是内核为相应的资源。硬极限充当软极限的天花板limit：没有特权的进程只能将其软限制设置为一个值在0到硬极限的范围内，并（不可逆转地）降低其硬限制。一个特权进程（在Linux下：CAP_SYS_RESOURCE能力）可以对极限值。

rlimit.go:

package main
import (
    "fmt"
    "syscall"
)
func main() {
    var rLimit syscall.Rlimit
    err := syscall.Getrlimit(syscall.RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rLimit)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error Getting Rlimit ", err)
    }
    fmt.Println(rLimit)
    rLimit.Max = 999999
    rLimit.Cur = 999999
    err = syscall.Setrlimit(syscall.RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rLimit)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error Setting Rlimit ", err)
    }
    err = syscall.Getrlimit(syscall.RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rLimit)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error Getting Rlimit ", err)
    }
    fmt.Println("Rlimit Final", rLimit)
}

输出：

更新：

我成功地为linux/amd64运行了rlimit.go，而您为linux/386运行失败。Linux 32位发行版的Getrlimit和Setrlimit中存在Go错误。这些错误已经修复。

使用Go default分支tip（包括错误修复），运行以下操作，并使用结果更新您的问题。
