Siddhesh Poyarekar	9fab36eb58	Shrink heap on linux when overcommit_memory == 2 ... Using madvise with MADV_DONTNEED to release memory back to the kernel is not sufficient to change the commit charge accounted against the process on Linux. It is OK however, when overcommit is enabled or is heuristic. However, when overcommit is restricted to a percentage of memory setting the contents of /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory as 2, it makes a difference since memory requests will fail. Hence, we do what we do with secure exec binaries, which is to call mmap on the region to be dropped with MAP_FIXED. This internally unmaps the pages in question and reduces the amount of memory accounted against the process.	2012-09-25 14:30:52 +05:30
