New Revision: 258336
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/258336

Log:
  Implement soft pressure on UMA cache bucket sizes.
  
  Every time system detects low memory condition decrease bucket sizes for
  each zone by one item.  As result, higher memory pressure will push to
  smaller bucket sizes and so smaller per-CPU caches and so more efficient
  memory use.
  
  Before this change there was no force to oppose buckets growth as result
  of practically inevitable zone lock conflicts, and after some run time
  per-CPU caches could consume enough RAM to kill the system.
