Do you know an example in Linux kernel uses that ? What I
certainly don't want is over-head of re-sizing whenever
that happens in running systems running multiple databases.

Memory is certainly not an issue on the systems where RDS
has been deployed. I certainly don't want to over-use the
memory but in the system where RDS being used and also
amount of connection it needs to handle, it needs
bigger bucket.
