I tried to kldload acpi on a system that has been running for about 3 days, and the kldload process has been sitting there swapping for about an hour now. Breaking into DDB shows that acpi_alloc_wakeup_handler() is trying to contigmalloc(), and this is swapping around presumably trying to find enough space. The kldload process is unkillable from userland because it's working in the kernel.
Can something be done to guard against this? Kris
