Not all systems use swap, so estimating available memory would help to prevent swapping or OOM of system that not use swap. And we need to reserve some page cache to prevent swapping or thrashing. If somebody is accessing the pages in pagecache, and if too much would be freed, most accesses might mean reading data from disk, i.e. thrashing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
