So you have 16GB of RAM and here we're failing to posix_fallocate()
50MB (actually we can't tell if it's the ftruncate() or
posix_fallocate() call that failed, but the latter seems more likely
since the former just creates a big hole in the underlying tmpfs
file).  Can you share the query plan (EXPLAIN SELECT ...)?
