The only way to be sure is to increase it and see if it changes 
anything. :)

I believe the relevant type is "memlock", and you can set the value up 
to "unlimited". Setting a hard limit won't change the default user 
limit (set a "soft" limit for this) but will affect users' ability to 
increase this limit.

So, with: 

	*        hard    memlock	unlimited

in /etc/security/limits.conf, you should be able to do, as a user:

	$ ulimit -l unlimited

and try your ibv_srq_pingpong again. 

HTH.
Cheers,
