The allocation code for tables deliberately does not try forever to get mem= ory (i.e. it allocates with M_NOWAIT), because if it did you could lock up pf accidentally by trying to allocate a far too large table. A consequence of this is that if you're under heavy memory pressure you're going to fail to allocate, and fail the reconfiguration. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
