Even as root, there is no "Operation not permitted" message, but there
is no working limit either:


# ulimit -m 1048576 ; stress-ng --vm 1 --vm-bytes 8G
stress-ng: info:  [10961] defaulting to a 86400 second (1 day, 0.00 secs) run per stressor
stress-ng: info:  [10961] dispatching hogs: 1 vm

stress-ng is not killed. Swap is not enabled on this test host.
