panic when detaching swap-backed md(4) disk which has gone into swap
When detaching a swap-backed md(4) disk which is larger than physical
memory and which has forced the system into swap I get a panic
(on 7-STABLE). The following commands trigger it:
mdconfig -a -t swap -s 5T
newfs /dev/md0
[cancel newfs when the system goes into swap]
mdconfig -d -u 0
After a few seconds the system panics with:
panic: swp_pager_meta_free_all: failed to locate all swap meta blocks

Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
I realise it's rather silly trying to create a memory disk which
is 5TB when I only have 1GB RAM in the machine, but I was a bit
surprised to see a panic when the system wasn't out of memory. Is this
just a case of "don't do that"?
