@Vipin, is there any possible you can have a look Jan's question?

I‘m not sure if Vipin could help to explain this. I just nocited that this
pull request was pending there more than half year, so I re-send this patch
to ML for more discussion.

I was unable to reproduce this. But AFAIK, 'overcommit == 1' cann't
guarantee the MAP_FAILED(with ENOMEM) before oom. So I roughly made change
in the original patch to catch up both oom and map_failed scenario for any
'overcommit'.

Beside that, as I was pointed out in patch 3/3, this test has an obviously
defect in design, I'm also not sure if MemFree + (1/10 *min_free_kbytes) is
safty enough, but that's only what I can do for the case remedy.
