 Eugene/kushagra

Thank you very much for your reply. AS you guys suggested , I
checked /etc/security/limits.conf file and the value was set to
unlimited for both soft memlock and hard memlock. 

* soft memlock unlimited
* hard memlock unlimited

So I hope that will allow us to pin unlimited memory with kernel.
I did some experiment to know how much memory is able to register
successfully , and the result was approximately 128MB (127.40625 MB).
Further allocation is failed by returning NULL from ibv_reg_mr, by
setting errno=11 (Resource temporarily unavailable). 

Thanks & Regrads
