Alan,
running 10,000 tiobench threads I'm showing 23 gigs of
`Commited_AS'.  Is this right?  Those pages are shared,
and if they're not PROT_WRITEable then there's no way in
which they can become unshared?   Seems to be excessively
pessimistic?
Or is 2.5 not up to date?
Thanks.

Hmm, that sounds different from what I see, I usually see between
75GB and 250GB of Committed_AS. OTOH that does seem "over the top",
esp. since the ZONE_NORMAL OOM's usually hit with between 18GB and
30GB of ZONE_HIGHMEM totally untouched.


Cheers,
Bill
