.Va vm.overcommit
sysctl defines the overcommit behaviour of the vm subsystem.
The virtual memory system always does accounting of the swap space
reservation, both total for system and per-user. Corresponding values
reservation, both total for system and per-user.
Corresponding values
are available through sysctl
.Va vm.swap_total,
.Va vm.swap_total ,
that gives the total bytes available for swapping, and
.Va vm.swap_reserved,
.Va vm.swap_reserved ,
that gives number of bytes that may be needed to back all currently
allocated anonymous memory.

Setting bit 0 of the
.Va vm.overcommit
sysctl causes the virtual memory system to return failure
to the process when allocation of memory causes vm.swap_reserved
to exceed vm.swap_total.
Bit 1 of the sysctl enforces RLIMIT_SWAP limit

.Va vm.swap_reserved

Bit 1 of the sysctl enforces

Root is exempt from this limit.
Bit 2 allows to count most of the physical
memory as allocatable, except wired and free reserved pages
