Author: kib Date: Wed Dec 29 11:39:15 2010 New Revision: 216793 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/216793
Log: Add sysctl vm.md_malloc_wait, non-zero value of which switches malloc-backed md(4) to using M_WAITOK malloc calls. M_NOWAITOK allocations may fail when enough memory could be freed, but not immediately. E.g. SU UFS becomes quite unhappy when metadata write return error, that would happen for failed malloc() call.
