I have the Problem that my /proc/user_beancounters displays an failcount of 4 at the privvmpages section:

Version: 2.5
       uid  resource    held    maxheld barrier    limit    failcnt
      102:  kmemsize    2827049 3378858 41840803   46024883 0
            lockedpages 0       0       2043       2043     0
            *privvmpages 118113  130716  173225     198547   4*

How can it be that failcnt is 4 when the held and maxheld values are below the barrier an limit values? For me it means that the privvmpages never hit the barrier or limit, how can there be a failcnt!? Or I'm wrong?
That's easy -- the difference between privvmpages.maxheld and privvmpages.barrier is 173225-130716=42509. So if any application tries to grab more than 42509 pages *at once*, it will get an error (most probably ENOMEM), and the failcnt will be increased, but both held and maxheld stays the same.
