If you have real, true strict overcommit, then it can cause you to have

I was referring to the "strict overcommit" mode described in
Documentation/vm/overcommit-accounting. To me, it sounded like it was
describing modes that were alternatives to the proposed kernel panic on
oom, and I was merely suggesting we use the same /proc/sys/vm method to
specify oom behavior (maybe a string rather than numeric codes in case
we have several such options in the future). Apologies if this is not
related to what Rusty is talking about.
Thanks,
Rahul
