 Modified Files:
 	src/sys/kern: subr_pool.c
 
 Log Message:
 Allow only one pending call to a pool's backing allocator at a time.
 
 Candidate fix for problems with hanging after kva fragmentation related
 to PR kern/45718.
 
 Proposed on tech-kern:
 
 https://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2017/10/23/msg022472.html
 
 Tested by bouyer@ on i386.
 
 This makes one small change to the semantics of pool_prime and
 pool_setlowat: they may fail with EWOULDBLOCK instead of ENOMEM, if
 there is a pending call to the backing allocator in another thread but
 we are not actually out of memory.  That is unlikely because nearly
 always these are used during initialization, when the pool is not in
 use.
