UMA was recently changed in r357549 to use multi-page slabs if doing so would reduce internal fragmentation to a certain degree. In that case the slabs will be mapped into KVA. vmspace objects are quite large but smaller than a page, so they benefit from this. You can verify by checking the vm.uma.VMSPACE.keg.ppera sysctl, which gives the number of pages per slab. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
