I have been reproduced this on both AMD and Intel. The test just
allocating memory and swapping.

https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/mem/tunable/overcommit_memory.c

It might be better to run the whole LTP mm tests if none of the above
triggers it for you which has quite a few memory pressurers.
