err

the whole point is that swap stays largely unused and get OOM after 3 or 4
days on only atom boards (2), while the other machines(5) with the
identical kernel are unaffected by this and can run for several months...

plus, upgrade to 3.17.2 seems to have fixed the issue...

it's categorized as a slow and steady decline in MemAvailable in
/proc/meminfo.

i can report that the server in question is now running since i fixed it,
several weeks now, and MemAvailable is still above 3GB ...
