Event Timeline

I'm not completely familar with FreeBSD's virtual memory system. But it seems the comment still doesn't match the code. Doesn't it return m_ret when the reclaim is successful and null when failed?

Looks good to me.

English is not my tone but it sounds 'or' is more appropriate.

The return type was changed from bool to vm_page_t by commit 0d5fac287294 (vm: alloc pages from reserv before breaking it) but the comments are left unchanged.
