[tor-commits] [tor/master] Increase MALLOC_MP_LIM to 16MB

[nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

commit 531835f5611994def74d790f43df01d828724513
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri Apr 28 10:53:05 2017 -0400

    Increase MALLOC_MP_LIM to 16MB
    
    Increase the maximum allowed size passed to mprotect(PROT_WRITE)
    from 1MB to 16MB. This was necessary with the glibc allocator
    in order to allow worker threads to allocate more memory --
    which in turn is necessary because of our new use of worker
    threads for compression.
    
    Closes ticket #22096. Found while working on #21648.
