o It mentions the amount of available RAM before the system starts to
swap - thats not really the question I'm interested in, otherwise you'd
need to factor in vm swappiness in - the question is literally, 'what
free memory is available', so attempting to allocate 1MB with <1MB free
would lead to OOM killing etc.
My wild guess for this is MemAvailable + SwapFree ... but I could ask
the kernel team for a confirmation of this assumption, if you want.
