Hi all,
A HEAD@254238 kernel fails to boot in EC2 with
panic: UMA: Increase vm.boot_pages
on 32-CPU instances. Instances with up to 16 CPUs boot fine.
I know there has been some mucking about with VM recently -- anyone want
to claim this, or should I start doing a binary search?
It's not any one commit really, just creeping demand for more pages before
the VM can get started. I would suggest making boot pages scale with
MAXCPU. Or just raising it as the panic suggests. We could rewrite the
way that the vm gets these early pages but it's a lot of work and
typically people just bump it and forget about it.
Thanks,
Jeff
