This was dangerous, as the page daemon attempts to keep some memory free, using up swap, and then resulting in processes being killed. Increase the reserve to a fraction of available memory + swap at file system startup time. The limit is expressed as a percentage of available memory + swap that can be used, and defaults to 95%. The percentage can be changed via the vfs.tmpfs.memory_percent sysctl, recomputing the reserve with the new percentage but the initial available memory + swap. Note that the reserve can also be set directly with an existing sysctl, ignoring the percentage. The previous behavior can be specified by setting vfs.tmpfs.memory_percent to 100. Add sysctl for vfs.tmpfs.memory_percent and the pre-existing vfs.tmpfs.memory_reserved to tmpfs(5).
