Can you submit a plaintext patch and propose your changes to
freebsd-arch@FreeBSD.org. You will need to write a message
outlining how these changes will improve out-of-swap handling for
out-of-swap due to different typical reasons in different scenarios
(I'm thinking of cases where one or two new processes have just
runaway, but a bigger process may be at constant state and more
important, or cases where the shear number of processes has caused
the problem). You should also give some information about what
testing you have done.
You may wish to keep freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org in the Cc: with
a subject of "Re: kern12697 ...".
Thanks,
