Re: I've started collecting tmpfs usage figures from a poudriere-devel bulk -a for later publishing some of the top ones (handy for TMPFS_BLACKLIST judgments)

For comparison/contrast: I tried it in my UFS based boot media on
the same system . . .

[I later give notes about graphics/pinta getting stuck, much like
print/miktex had if the ZFS experiment.]

For the 32 hardware thread, 32 builder context, with USE_TMPFS=all
--but also using the TMPFS_BLACKLIST-- the result was:

[1D:16:42:48] Stopping 32 builders
. . .
[main-amd64-bulk_a-default] [2024-05-02_23h01m58s] [committing] Queued: 34535 Built: 33990 Failed: 157   Skipped: 101   Ignored: 287   Fetched: 0     Tobuild: 0      Time: 1D:16:43:59

ZFS had been: Time: 1D:16:50:42

My adjusted version of top that keeps track of and reports some
Maximum Observed figures (MaxObsYYY naming) reported Swap having
45241Mi MaxObsUsed. So SystemRAM+MaxObsSwapUsed of slightly
under 236.2 GiBytyes. (The ZFS example had been: 241.5 GiBytyes.)

So the system SystemRAM+SystemSWAP being 704 GiBytes was a little
under 3 times the example observed usage in both cases, giving
margin for larger needs over time.



As for examples of builders getting stuck . . .

graphics/pinta in the UFS experiment had gotten stuck in threads
of /usr/local/bin/mono (mono-sgen):

[05] 15:31:47                     graphics/pinta | pinta-1.7.1_4                                      stage 15:28:31 2.30 GiB   0%   0%

So I did a kill -9 93415 to let the bulk run complete.

I then removed my ADDITION of BROKEN to print/miktex that had gotten
stuck in the ZFS experiment and tried in the now tiny load average
context: bulk print/miktex graphics/pinta

They both worked just fine, not getting stuck (UFS context):

[00:00:50] [02] [00:00:25] Finished  graphics/pinta | pinta-1.7.1_4: Success ending TMPFS: 2.30 GiB
[00:14:11] [01] [00:13:47] Finished  print/miktex | miktex-23.9_3: Success ending TMPFS: 3.21 GiB

I'll note that the procstat for the stuck print/miketex in the
ZFS context had looked like:

# procstat -k -k 70121
 PID    TID COMM                TDNAME              KSTACK

It looks like there is some form failing race condition that can
occur --and does rarely occur in high load average contexts.
