So, Matt, I understand that you think that the folks who are want to
turn off overcommit are looking to hang themselves, but how much does
it cost to sell them the rope?
Would adding the sysctl to turn off overcommit be a costly,
time-consuming hunk of work, or a three-line patch? If it's the
latter, why not provide the functionality? (Obviously if there's
significant new work and complexity involved, changing the status quo
demands proving a string case.)
I don't have the knowledge of the VM system to answer the question; I
can imagine a system with one or two VM allocation routines where the
change would be trivial, and a more complex system where it would be
very difficult. Which one do I run? :-)
