Heh. I own you apology. I haven't had time to work on graid3 back then
and I also overlooked fix of this very problem.

I integrated you fixes to my last patch which I'm planning to commit
after receiving some feedback:

        http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/graid3.patch

Everything seems good to go, running -CURRENT's graid3 + these changes
on 6-STABLE; are there particular areas where you think I should try
testing for improved performance?


I was fighting a problem today when our geom_cache attempts to fill
256K of bio_data coming from graid3, and this obviously fails because
graid3 only allocates memory for first 64k from its 64k UMA zone.
This patch doesn't fix this problem.  I have MAXPHYS bumped to 512K,
which is important to reproduce the problem.  Can you please fix this?
Temporarily, I've added 128/256/512 zones to satisfy my needs.


Cheers,

MAXPHYS was never meant to go above 128K. You'll run a very real risk of exhausting KVA under load. And, all block drivers for the past 10 years have been written with the assumption that MAXPHYS will never be
above 128K.  In other words, don't shoot yourself in the foot and then
cry that it hurts =-)
