sys/vm uma_core.c
Log:
While we want the recursion protection for the bucket zones so that
recursion from the VM is handled (and the calling code that allocates
buckets knows how to deal with it), we do not want to prevent allocation
from the slab header zones (slabzone and slabrefzone) if uk_recurse is
not zero for them. The reason is that it could lead to NULL being
returned for the slab header allocations even in the M_WAITOK
case, and the caller can't handle that (this is also explained in a
comment with this commit).
The problem analysis is documented in our mailing lists:
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=153445+0+archive/2004/freebsd-current/20041231.freebsd-current
(see entire thread for proper context).
