OK. Then limiting must be done this way (unreclaimable limit/total limit)
A (15/40)
B (25/100)
C (35/100)
D (10/100)
E (20/50)
In this case each group will receive it's guarantee for sure.

E.g. even if A, B, E and D will eat all it's unreclaimable memory then
we'll have
100 - 15 - 25 - 20 - 10 = 30% of memory left (maybe after reclaiming) which
is perfectly enough for C's guarantee.

Then how do you make sure that memory WILL be available when the group needs
it without limiting the others in a proper way?
