Default Approaching the limit on PV entries, consider increasing either the vm.pmap.shpgperp

Hello,

I have a FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE amd64 box which gives this message with apache 2.2 very often. Previously the contents of the box was on 6.3-STABLE x86 and I had no such problems. This started right away when we moved to 7, 64bit.

FreeBSD web.XXXXX.com 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #0: Tue Apr 22 02:13:30 UTC 2008 yurtesen@web.XXXXX.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/WEB amd64

Approaching the limit on PV entries, consider increasing either the vm.pmap.shpgperproc or the vm.pmap.pv_entry_max sysctl.
Approaching the limit on PV entries, consider increasing either the vm.pmap.shpgperproc or the vm.pmap.pv_entry_max sysctl.

I have increased vm.pmap.shpgperproc to 2000 and this seemed to stop complaints for a little while but they occur again...

ipcs -a return nothing

web:/root#ipcs -a
Message Queues:
T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP CREATOR CGROUP CBYTES QNUM QBYTES LSPID LRPID STIME RTIME CTIME

Shared Memory:
T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP CREATOR CGROUP NATTCH SEGSZ CPID LPID ATIME DTIME CTIME

Semaphores:
T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP CREATOR CGROUP NSEMS OTIME CTIME

web:/root#

Here are the active sysctl values:

vm.pmap.pmap_collect_active: 0
vm.pmap.pmap_collect_inactive: 0
vm.pmap.pv_entry_spare: 7366
vm.pmap.pv_entry_allocs: 93953399357
vm.pmap.pv_entry_frees: 93953160939
vm.pmap.pc_chunk_tryfail: 0
vm.pmap.pc_chunk_frees: 559631374
vm.pmap.pc_chunk_allocs: 559632837
vm.pmap.pc_chunk_count: 1463
vm.pmap.pv_entry_count: 238418
vm.pmap.shpgperproc: 2000
vm.pmap.pv_entry_max: 13338058

The box is lightly loaded, it is an 8 core box with load average about 0.2-0.4

Any ideas about what to check/do next? I only could find a post which suggests using:

kern.ipc.shm_use_phys: 1

But I already set it and it has no effect...box has 4gb of memory:

CPU: 0.1% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 99.9% idle
Mem: 180M Active, 1584M Inact, 467M Wired, 131M Cache, 214M Buf, 1578M Free
Swap: 8192M Total, 8548K Used, 8184M Free


I have the following in make.conf

CPUTYPE?=core2

CFLAGS= -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
CXXFLAGS+= -fconserve-space
COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe

NO_GAMES=true
NO_PROFILE=true

WITHOUT_X11=true
