netsniff-ng: mlock: only lock current and future pages when root
When we're still root, we tell the kernel to lock/protect all current and future pages in memory so that they will not be swapped out in case the system uses up too much. Now when we do xzmalloc_aligned(), it calls internally posix_memalign() that can call mmap(2), thus we will get an EAGAIN as errno, since we're not root anymore and since we wanted to touch sth. that belongs to root. Nasty. Fix this up by only protecting these pages when we do not use -u/-g. Reported-by: Doug Burks <doug.burks@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
