I am not subscribed to -stable, so please keep me CC'd. I mailed -stable about this problem, or a variation of it, earlier this month: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2018-March/088467.html What isn't publicly visible is the list of individuals I CC'd on that mail who had touched this code in recent days: kib@freebsd.org, des@freebsd.org, pluknet@freebsd.org, eadler@freebsd.org I received no response from them on this matter. At least two, however, have been extremely busy commit-wise, so I imagine folks are just swamped right now + have higher priorities. I did not read or review your {naiveanalysis} section or your patch, as tinkering with VM design/internals is *way* outside my comfort zone. I will say that printing the sizes in a unit other than pages would be generally helpful; I did try to figure out what value to use for kern.maxswzone as a workaround by digging through kernel code but gave up, as I wasn't able to truly determine what "pages" actually represented (size-wise) in this specific context. I hope someone with src commit bit will comment, as code slush for 11.2-RELEASE begins on April 20th: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.2R/schedule.html Else a separate PR can be opened if requested. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
