I'm not digggin so much but /proc/meminfo corrupted.

[kamezawa@bluextal cgroup]$ cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:       24421124 kB
MemFree:        38314388 kB

Wow ;)
On x86-64 8cpu box + 24G memory.
(config is NUMA but the system itself is not NUMA.)

At boot time and for a while, It seems to be no trouble.

I used this.

== malloc.c

#include <stdio.h>

#define MSIZE (1024 * 1024 * 8)

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        char **c;
        long size;
        int array_size, i;

        size = atoi(argv[1]);
        size *= 1024 * 1024;

        array_size =  size/MSIZE + 1;
        c= malloc(sizeof(void *) * array_size);

        for (i = 0; i < array_size; i++) {
                c[i] = malloc(MSIZE);
                memset(c[i], 0, MSIZE);
        }
        while (1) {
                for (i = 0; i < array_size; i++) {
                        memset(c[i], 0, MSIZE);
                        sleep(2);
                }
                sleep(10);
        }
        return;
}

# malloc 23000
# malloc 1000
and run hackbench 20.

OOM Kill message says free exceeds present ;(
