In practice this should never occur as only mips uses this function and the mips code doesn't support multiple domains yet. > - vm_phys_alloc_pages() did not pin the thread and each call to > vm_phys_alloc_freelist_pages() fetched the current domain to choose > which freelist to use.

I have seen multiple instances of this panic in production loads however. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
