    It's not clear to me how we ensure this invariant with the code below. 
Maybe just updating the comment is enough to clear things up, but when I look 
at thsi code, it's not obvious to me how this invariant is mantained.
    
    Is the assumption that `memory.limit_in_bytes` and 
`memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes` are initially equal? Is it also assumed that 
`currentLimit` will only ever be greater than or equal to the `initialLimit` 
the first time through this function. If so, why?
    
    What keeps us from passing a `limit` to this function that exceeds 
`initialLimit` such that the case for `(currentLimit.get() >= initialLimit)` 
gets invoked more than just the first time this function is called?
    
    Independent of that, I don't understand how we can ensure that 
`memory.limit_in_bytes` always remains less than or equal 
`memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes` in the case of `(limit > currentLimit.get())`. If 
the new `limit` is greater than the `currentLimit` and we set 
`memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes` before we set `memory.limit_in_bytes`, doesn't 
that explicitly violate this invariant?
    
    Maybe I'm missing something.
