Sounds mostly reasonable, maybe it could require something like req + max(50, min(400, 0.3*req)) MiB instead of 1.3*req.

It also makes sense most of the time. (and then it may force something else to be swapped out). So I think this > problem still applies to some degree. > Why it would do so? If there is some extra memory and vm.swappiness==0, I can't see a scenario for that (except those unrelated to swap).
