From: Frank Hirtz <fhirtz@redhat.com> I'd like to request that the following patch be included in the current build tree. It modifies the display of CommitAvail in meminfo to allow for negative values. In this instance, negative values are appropriate if one does not have strict overcommit accounting enabled and are actively overcommitting memory.
