 I encountered a similar assertion failure, but in a different place:
 
 panic: kernel diagnostic assertion "!UVM_OBJ_IS_CLEAN(pg->uobject) || uvm_pagegetdirty(pg) == UVM_PAGE_STATUS_CLEAN" failed: file "../../../../uvm/uvm_fault.c", line 1868

 The machine is an evbppc/ibm4xx box with NFS root, and panic occurred when
 compiling pkgsrc (working directory was also NFS). Kernel was as of Feb 18:
 
 NetBSD obs266 9.99.47 NetBSD 9.99.47 (OBS266) #149: Tue Feb 18 11:44:40 JST 2020  rin@latipes:/build/src/sys/arch/evbppc/compile/OBS266 evbppc
 
 with local changes, that work stable if applied to netbsd-9.
 
 I tried a kernel built from the same source with UVMHIST enabled, but
 it survived under heavy load over 36 hours, and I gave up testing ;-).
 
 I found that some fixes for NFS were done in yamt-pagecache branch at
 the same time as commit you merged to -HEAD on Jan 15:

 Neither changes in nfs_bio.c:
 
 http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/nfs/nfs_bio.c.diff?r1=1.188&r2=1.188.2.1&only_with_tag=yamt-pagecache&f=H
 
 nor nfs_subs.c:
 
 http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/nfs/nfs_subs.c.diff?r1=1.221&r2=1.221.2.1&only_with_tag=yamt-pagecache&f=H
 
 have been committed to -HEAD yet.
 
 Shouldn't we merge these changes together?
 
 Thanks,
