Hello,
I've been a MS Windows based programmer for a very long time and was
recently tossed in an environment where I am developing embedded apps on
the m68k / Linux platform. That makes me a Linux newbie. I started
asking a few questions on various IRC channels and was directed to this
group.
request the memory in pagecache to be released for use by the app.

I have noticed that with overcommit_memory=2 and overcommit_ratio=100,
my system cannot leverage as much ram as it could if it was configured
for overcommit_memory=0.
Is this because when overcommit_memory=2, anything that mallocs memory
but doesn't touch that memory is counted as used memory? I
