ARC "pressured out", how to control/stabilize ? (reformatted to text/plain)

[Vladimir Sharun]

Dear Andriy, FreeBSD community,

Thank you for your suggestion, so we will turn off the L2ARC and will report if the issue persist or not.
For now the test server rebooted with L2ARC turned off and there's no allocations done in 
l2arc_feed_thread according to dtrace hook you provided.

Let's imagine the situation, we found l2arc_feed_thread allocations is the cause, what shall our next step ?

The feedback from us will be here within few days (can't reproduce faster)
