[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2930] 'objcache' causes panic during 'nfs_readdir'

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #2930 has been updated by tofergus.


It seems that 'nfs' creats an 'objcache_create_simple' for the 'NFS Node' structures, however, 'objcache_simple' does not seem to allow 'kmalloc' to return NULL and thus, we 'panic'.

Unclear to me how this should be resolved.  It would seem that 'objcache_simple' should set 'M_NULLOK' to allow and propagate the NULL return but I would need a much better understanding of all subsystems before guessing where and how that should happen.

'vkernel' with '/home' file system mounted from host produces the following panic when trying to read a directory with 10s of 1000s of files.  Increasing memory to the 'vkernel' avoids the issue.
