You seem not very familiar with the memory "management" behavior of Linux and the wonderful ecosystem it has engendered. For example no matter how much physical memory you have, Chrome for example will just crash all the time if you turn off Linux's insane "lie about memory allocation succeeding" default.
- prussian 6y agoI'm more than familiar with overcommit and it has nothing to do with being out of memory. In fact, im explicitly talking about the kernel failing to allocate (-ENOMEM) in a alleged future driver. It may interest you to know the WebKit takes this behavior to 11 and actually uses overcommit to isolate heaps even. That "runway" of memory between heaps is not used and thus the +99GiB virtual memory size is bunk. Really nothing to do with being out of memory.
