Subject: [patch] make sysctl_overcommit_memory enumeration sensible
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2006 16:54:56 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060215085456.GA2481@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
I see system admins often confused when they sysctl vm.overcommit_memory.
This patch makes overcommit_memory enumeration sensible.
0 - no overcommit
1 - always overcommit
2 - heuristic overcommit (default)
I don't feel this would break any userspace scripts. If it seems OK, I'll
update the documents.
