I see that there are no argues about introducing rss guarantees, that's fine.
However, I'm not sure what really you may achieve by collecting statistics
and dynamically set RSS limits.
Memory balancing should naturally lead to the same effects as described in
the pointed message. LRU page replacing should keep memory for processes
that actively and randomly access pages, and release pages for processes that
do streamline work because they return to previous pages after larger time
intervals (or never).
