Hi, Rik, I do appreciate your explanation!

In fact, I am just doing a little experiment, which requires to strictly limit the RSS of certain process. Here, I don't care about the whole system performance at all. Could you send me the patch which does force the RSS limit even when there is enough memory available, because I am not sure how low memory I should set in order to let system enforce the RSS limit? I know maybe I should just use "setrlimit()" system call by modifying the particular program I want to test, but I am not sure if it would be the same effect as using "ulimit" in bash.
