I'm on a redhat machine. I'm changing the value of max_map_count via sysctl:# sysctl vm.max_map_countvm.max_map_count = 65530# sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=655300vm.max_map_count = 655300# sysctl vm.max_map_countvm.max_map_count = 655300I then write that value to /etc/sysctl.conf so it persists a reboot.I'm doing this to address the munmap needs of a particular long-lived service. I understand that modifying the sysctl value is immediate for the system. My question is: do I need to restart the individual service in order for this updated setting to take effect against that particular running process, or does the updated count limit apply immediately to the running process?
Does changing sysctl require a process restart?
