Thanks!
Memory is locked when a process with appropriate privileges invokes the mlock
or mlock2
system call. So when a Pixel 9 Pro has the AICore
app with 3 GB of RAM locked, that means that the app was launched with sufficient privileges, then it allocated memory, then it locked the memory.
If AICore
isn't on a Pixel 9 Pro running GrapheneOS, then it didn't allocate memory and lock it, so the memory shouldn't be allocated (let alone locked). Though I don't have a Pixel 9 of any flavor, I'm pretty confident that without the app the phenomena described in the article won't be happening.
