> `all kinds of problems` sounds scary.

Well, I just meant that without the patch, hitting the swapuse limit could
cause a panic; with the patch, it'll cause shm_alloc() to fail.  In the
backtrace you pasted, the running process was php, so with the patch applied,
either some php script or the runtime would have hit an error instead of
triggering a panic.  Maybe it can tolerate such errors just fine, but I don't
know - that's all I meant by "all kinds of problems".

Are you sure that no rctl rules are applied there?

If you sent ctrl-T to the terminal while top/ps/mount are running, what gets
printed?
