keeping memory usage at certain limit

[Salvatore Sanfilippo]

Hello,

Redis files zmalloc.[ch] contain an implementation of a jemalloc
wrapper that can track the size of the currently allocated memory, as
the sum of all the individual allocations, plus functions to get the
ratio between the actual resident set size of the process and this
sum, in order to obtain the fragmentation level. This is used as a
base to implement Redis "maxmemory" directive that looks similar to
what you want.

Regards,
Salvatore

To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a
proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet
unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and to refute it
