Applies to:
Solaris Operating System - Version 8.0 and laterAll Platforms
Goal
"VAC conflict" or "Virtual Address Cache conflict" is a situation that can happen when a page of memory is explicitly mapped by a program to a virtual address that conflicts with the virtual addresses of other mappings to the same
page of memory. The situation causes the Solaris[TM] operating system to have to work very hard to avoid data corruption. Visible symptoms are many CPU xcalls, mutex contention on an anon_array mutex, slow memory accesses
to that page.
