How to free used Swap-Space?

Hi all,
my machine should use about 3-4, maybe 5 GB swapspace. Today I found
it suddenly uses 8 GB (which is worryingly near the configured 10G).
I stopped all the big suckers - nothing found.
I stopped all the jails - no success.
I brought it down to singleuser: it tried to swapoff, but failed.
I unmounted all filesystems, exported all pools, detached all geli,
and removed most of the netgraphs. Swap is still occupied.
Machine is now running only the init and a shell processes, has
almost no filesystems mounted, has mostly native networks only, and
this still occupies 3 GB of swap which cannot be released.
What is going on, what is doing this, and how can I get this swapspace
released??
It is 11.4-RELEASE-p3 amd64.
