https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D253992 --- Comment #3 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> --- Right, UMA has defaulted to the FIRSTTOUCH policy since https://reviews.freebsd.org/D22831 . Indeed, the policy is kind of questionable. It is strict first-touch, i.e., always returns local memory.= =20 First-touch policies implemented using domainsets do not have this property unless explicitly requested, so if you allocate a page with e.g., DOMAINSET_PREF(0), we will return memory from other domains if necessary to avoid sleeping. I am not sure why FIRSTTOUCH has this strict implementation. Originally it= was used for bucket zones, which are always NOWAIT. And until recently UMA did= not have special handling for cross-domain frees. We could consider adding a new (default) policy which is not strict. It is likely necessary for ZFS to work well on NUMA systems, since its buffer cac= he memory is allocated from UMA. That is a larger problem though. In this ca= se though the pressure is apparently caused by a kernel memory leak. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
