We do not touch them, but the test is setting OVERCOMMIT_NEVER since ~2012.
It tries to estimate number of pages that can be used with global CommitLimit
and Committed_AS.

But we sporadically fail at __vm_enough_memory() on a percpu counter:
... 
        if (percpu_counter_read_positive(&vm_committed_as) < allowed)
                return 0;
which can be presumably increased by anything else running on system.

Comments say this is to avoid certain bad OOM behaviour, but given its age,
it might be long invalid.

Regards,
Jan

We do not touch them, but the test is setting OVERCOMMIT_NEVER since ~2012.
It tries to estimate number of pages that can be used with global CommitLimit
and Committed_AS.

But we sporadically fail at __vm_enough_memory() on a percpu counter:
... 
        if (percpu_counter_read_positive(&vm_committed_as) < allowed)
                return 0;
which can be presumably increased by anything else running on system.

Comments say this is to avoid certain bad OOM behaviour, but given its age,
it might be long invalid.
