There are some fundamental problems with this model - the moment you mix strict overcommit with anything else it ceases to be a strict overcommit and you might as well use existing overcommit rules for most stuff The other thing you are sort of faking is per user resource management - which is a subset of per group of users resource management which is useful - eg "students can't hog the machine" I don't see that this is the right approach compared with the container work and openvz work that is currently active and far more flexible.
