Approximately 2 weeks ago, some changes were introduced into the USB code which could in some scenarios mean a depletion of kmem_map. I've glanced at usb_mem.c and it appears that the USB code 'caches' everything that it allocates into a couple of lists it maintains locally. This prevents UMA from seeing the freed memory and, from the point of view of the VM, the memory is never reclaimed. I am unsure as to whether or not the memory allocated by the USB stuff needs to be type stable so I can't really fix this. I urge the USB authors to glance there. If you are using USB, try turning it off to see if the panic persists. If not, then we'll have to look elsewhere.
