The r254025 indeed introduced the problem, and Davide pointed out you a
workaround for the assertion triggering.

Right; I tried one of those -- I hope I got it right...

Proper fix for the memguard requires a policy of M_NEXTFIT or like, to
avoid a reuse of the previous allocated range as long as possible.

That's why I passed a start address as a lower bound to vmem_xalloc. I would like to eventually implement nextfit.


Ah.

But, you have some further issue even after the assertion was silenced,
isn't it ?

I will fix this today and do some stress tests with memguard on. Sorry for the difficulty.

Thanks,
Jeff


Yes; please see
<http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20130812160154.GF1570> for a copy
of the message that shows the resulting panic.  (Or see previous
messages i this thread, if that's easier.)  It looks (from my naive
perspective) as if mti_zone hadn't been initialized (properly?  at
all?).

In any case, I remain willing to test, subject to Internet connectivity
flakiness where I am now and other demands on my time.

Peace,
david
