I have 16GB of memory and only 200MB of swap. At the time I am doing
xfs_check,  there is 15966488K memory free.

I think the problem is probably that my kernel has 3GB reserved for
kernel space and 1GB for process space, and xfs_check tries to exceed
this limit.

Does xfs_check have to allocate all that much memory at the initialization?
