head -r331499 amd64/threadripper panic in vm_page_free_prep during "poudriere bulk -a", after 14h 22m or so.

Sun Mar 25 18:22:16 UTC 2018

FreeBSD panic'd while attempting to see if a "poudriere bulk -w -a"
would get the "unnecessary swapping" problem in my UFS-only context,
-r331499 (non-debug but with symbols), under Hyper-V. This is a
Ryzen Threadripper context, but I've no clue if that is important
to the problem. This was after 14 hours or so of building:

. . .
[14:22:05] [18] [00:01:16] Finished devel/p5-Test-HTML-Tidy | p5-Test-HTML-Tidy-1.00_1: Success
[14:22:08] [18] [00:00:00] Building devel/ocaml-camlp5 | ocaml-camlp5-6.16

So I've no clue if or how to repeat this.

Unfortunately dump was unsuccessful. So all I have is the
backtrace. Hand typed from a screen shot of the console
window:

FreeBSD and its swap are directly on NVMe SSDs, not in
NTFS file(s).

The M in -r331499M is for powerpc64/powerpc/arm64/armv7
related experiments, not amd64:

That last is because I've modified top to also report
for swap:

Maximum Observed Used

(abbreviated: MaxObsUsed) when it is positive. For
example:

Swap: 256G Total, 483M Used, 483M MaxObsUsed, 256G Free
