But you can put that option into the kernel config file:

  options PMAP_SHPGPERPROC=...

and build a new kernel with it.


You are correct. My question is more how much should I increase it. The current default in the 4.x LINT file is "options PMAP_SHPGPERPROC=201" should I double it? Increase it by 50 to 251? Should it be a prime number?
I am just asking for information.


The settings in the LINT file are not necessarily the defaults, rather mere examples. The default value for PMAP_SHPGPERPROC is 200 (defined in the source file /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/pmap.c). I would recommend to increase it by 100 until the messages stop. We use 300 on our servers, for instance.

Thanks a lot for the response. I have only seen the message one time, I have 1 gb of memory with dual xeons, so
I was thinking first I would bump it to 251.


Regards,
Steve
