--- Comment #1 from Andrey V. Elsukov <ae@FreeBSD.org> ---
It seems you don't check the result of counter allocation, that with M_NOWA=
IT
can fail. And then you are doing an access to such pointers. I'm not famili=
ar
with PF, but what happens if you try to limit UMA zone used for these count=
ers
and try to create enough number of entries? I suspect it will just panic. A=
lso,
PCPU counters are very expensive memory consumers, on modern machines with =
tens
CPU cores, they require a lot of memory. And tables usually used to keep la=
rge
number of entries, at least for ipfw. Is it really needed feature for PF for
such cost?
