:Ok, I spent quite some time trying to figure out why postgresql
:would "hang" when using the 'kern.ipc.shm_use_phys' sysctl.
:
:It finally came down to some spinlocks that were being corrupted
:in a very tiny shared memory segment.
:
:It seems like the phys_pager doesn't correctly allocate when
:given a non PAGE_SIZE'd 'size' so then I think odd stuff happens
:to the memory in the pages:
Yes, you are absolutely right. That's definitely a bug and your fix
is the correct one.
In regards to simultanious commit, unless someone makes the rules a
little more reasonable for simple bug fixes like this you'll probably
get fried for doing it by bozos who have nothing better to do with their
time.
