:Indeed, this is an interesting area. In the process of
:researching how to best implement this for Linux I have
:found various reasons why both FreeBSD's and NetBSD's
:load control systems cannot work in various realistic
:scenarios.
It's not a load control system. It's an emergency measure, period. A
load control system is something like... oh, the 20 second enforced swap
out that can be triggered when the VM system is under extreme memory
pressure. Load control is a completely different issue from swap
exhaustion. The two are entirely unrelated to each other.
