*
* Descriptions:
*
* There are two tunables overcommit_memory and overcommit_ratio under
* /proc/sys/vm/, which can control memory overcommitment.
*
* The overcommit_memory contains a flag that enables memory
* overcommitment, it has three values:
* - When this flag is 0, the kernel attempts to estimate the amount
* of free memory left when userspace requests more memory.
* - When this flag is 1, the kernel pretends there is always enough
* memory until it actually runs out.
* - When this flag is 2, the kernel uses a "never overcommit" policy
* that attempts to prevent any overcommit of memory.
*
* The overcommit_ratio tunable defines the amount by which the kernel
* overextends its memory resources in the event that overcommit_memory
* is set to the value of 2. The value in this file represents a
* percentage added to the amount of actual RAM in a system when
* considering whether to grant a particular memory request.
* The general formula for this tunable is:
* CommitLimit = SwapTotal + MemTotal * overcommit_ratio
* CommitLimit, SwapTotal and MemTotal can read from /proc/meminfo.
*
* The program is designed to test the two tunables:
*
* When overcommit_memory = 0, allocatable memory can't overextends
* the amount of free memory. I choose the three cases:
* a. less than free_total: free_total / 2, alloc should pass.
* b. greater than free_total: free_total * 2, alloc should fail.
* c. equal to sum_total: sum_tatal, alloc should fail
*
* When overcommit_memory = 1, it can alloc enough much memory, I
* choose the three cases:
* a. less than sum_total: sum_total / 2, alloc should pass
* b. equal to sum_total: sum_total, alloc should pass
* c. greater than sum_total: sum_total * 2, alloc should pass
* *note: sum_total = SwapTotal + MemTotal
*
* When overcommit_memory = 2, the total virtual address space on
* the system is limited to CommitLimit(Swap+RAM*overcommit_ratio)
* commit_left(allocatable memory) = CommitLimit - Committed_AS
* a. less than commit_left: commit_left / 2, alloc should pass
* b. greater than commit_left: commit_left * 2, alloc should fail
* c. overcommit limit: CommitLimit, alloc should fail
* *note: CommitLimit is the current overcommit limit.
* Committed_AS is the amount of memory that system has used.
* it couldn't choose 'equal to commit_left' as a case, because
* commit_left rely on Committed_AS, but the Committed_AS is not stable.
