--- Comment #1 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org> ---
It looks like this situation occurs only with manually added swap devices
(including swap files) and not with swap devices added by /etc/rc.d/swap and
/etc/rc.d/swaplate, since no writable filesystems are available when
/etc/rc.d/swap runs and /etc/rc.d/swaplate removes any "late" devices it ad=
ded
when the system is shut down.

Note that swapoff -a looks at /etc/fstab, not at the currently active swap
devices (as would be shown by swapinfo).

If additional logic is desired to turn off (some of the) active swap device=
s,
it should probably be in init(8) (and reboot(8)) or in the kernel, so it
executes after all other processes have terminated and the resulting I/O is
minimized. It might be useful to non-forcibly unmount tmpfs (or all) mounts
first.

The actual panic with the usual information may be interesting as well.
Normally, a failure to read from swap causes the affected process(es) to cr=
ash
with SIGBUS (but things might be different for pageable kernel memory such =
as
pipe buffers and execve arguments, or if a process has been swapped out and=
 the
kernel stack cannot be read back from swap).
