https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204097 Benjamin Kaduk <bjk@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |bjk@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #1 from Benjamin Kaduk <bjk@FreeBSD.org> --- Changing 'i' to be of type size_t would be a more architecturally pleasing change, if a change is needed here. I see some argument for anti-foot-shooting here, but it is not a particularly strong one -- such a large value of witness_count seems unlikely to lead to a usable system anyway, so it is not reasonable for an administrator to want to set such a value. There are many, many ways in which tunables can be (ab)used to create a broken system and panics, and it's not reasonable to put in anti-foot-shooting measures for all of them, particularly the ones where there is not a reasonable reason to want to set such values in the first place. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
