    qemu: Relax hard RSS limit · 3c83df67

    Currently, if there's no hard memory limit defined for a domain,
    libvirt tries to calculate one, based on domain definition and magic
    equation and set it upon the domain startup. The rationale behind was,
    if there's a memory leak or exploit in qemu, we should prevent the
    host system trashing. However, the equation was too tightening, as it
    didn't reflect what the kernel counts into the memory used by a
    process. Since many hosts do have a swap, nobody hasn't noticed
    anything, because if hard memory limit is reached, process can
    continue allocating memory on a swap. However, if there is no swap on
    the host, the process gets killed by OOM killer. In our case, the qemu
    process it is.
    
    To prevent this, we need to relax the hard RSS limit. Moreover, we
    should reflect more precisely the kernel way of accounting the memory
    for process. That is, even the kernel caches are counted within the
    memory used by a process (within cgroups at least). Hence the magic
    equation has to be changed:
    
      limit = 1.5 * (domain memory + total video memory) + (32MB for cache
              per each disk) + 200MB
