Public bug reported:

my memory situation is this:
4 GB ram total
2 GB used
8 GB swap partition in sda5
about 0 GB swap used

running command swapoff I got always the error below:

$ sudo swapoff -a
swapoff: /dev/sda5: swapoff failed: Cannot allocate memory

Seems swapoff always failed, when 'overcommit' is disabled (in my case
for deterministic behave reasons)
