// The CommitLimiter encapsulates a limit we may want to impose on how much
//  memory can be committed. This is a matter of separation of concerns:
//
// In metaspace, we have two limits to committing memory: the absolute limit,
//  MaxMetaspaceSize; and the GC threshold. In both cases an allocation should
//  fail if it would require committing memory and hit one of these limits.
//
// However, the actual Metaspace allocator is a generic one and this
//  GC- and classloading specific logic should be kept separate. Therefore
//  it is hidden inside this interface.
//
// This allows us to:
//  - more easily write tests for metaspace, by providing a different implementation
//    of the commit limiter, thus keeping test logic separate from VM state.
//  - (potentially) use the metaspace for things other than class metadata,
//    where different commit rules would apply.
