With this patch there is no panic, but boot process stops after message:
start_init: trying /sbin/init
(boot -v was used)
And nothing happens after.
There is two reasons why I tried to use GELI on SSD with 8k sector size:
1. SSD internally reads data by pages. Host can request from SSD 512
bytes, but full page will be read inside SSD. For my SSD page size is 8k.
2. GELI work faster with big blocks. Quick benchmark for geli on gzero
(AES-NI, single geli thread, several parallel dd if=/dev/gzero.eli):
4k sector ~ 350 Mb/s
8k sector ~ 400 Mb/s
Bigger sector sizes works even faster, but not useful on real workloads
because on small reads by user application more data then necessary will
be read and decrypted.
Given that vnode_pager is not designed to work with sector size > VM
page size it will be more easy for me to reinstall FreeBSD on geli with
4k sectors.
