Crossbow team, The following is of interest to the Crossbow project. Since a large chunk of these changes also exist in the Crossbow gate, the delivery of this wad will result in fewer lines of changes for Crossbow''s delivery. If someone on Crossbow could participate in this review, that would be a bonus (Eric Cheng made original changes in the Crossbow gate at some point last year).

...FS memory usage. I''ve no idea how to leash that beast. FreeBSD has a backpresure mechanism. I can register my function so it will be called when there are memory problems, which I do. I using it for ARC layer. Even with this in place under heavy load the kernel panics, because memory with KM_SLEEP cannot be allocated. Here are some statistics of memory usage when the panic occurs: zfs_znode_cache: 356 * 11547 = 4110732 bytes zil_lwb_cache: 176 * 43 = 7568 bytes arc_buf_t: 20 * 7060 = 141200 bytes arc_buf_hdr_t: 188 * 7060 = 1327280 bytes dnode_t: 756 * 162311 = 122707116...

I can do that via kmdb, but I need Dtrace for the time synchronization - chill() action. I can not combine Dtrace & kmdb: dtrace: failed to initialize dtrace: DTrace cannot be used when kernel debugger
