Reimplement contigmalloc(9) with an algorithm which stands a greatly-
improved chance of working despite pressure from running programs.
Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for
the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s
request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly)
at a time.
The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it
could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks
at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out
without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes
page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting
the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the
systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking
later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated.
The page-out operations are now blocking, as it would make little sense
to try to push out a page, then get its status immediately afterward
to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to
have been freed. Another change is that if KVA allocation fails, the
allocated memory segment will be freed and not leaked.
There is a sysctl/tunable, defaulting to on, which causes the old
contigmalloc() algorithm to be used. Nonetheless, I have been using
vm.old_contigmalloc=0 for over a month. It is safe to switch at
run-time to see the difference it makes.
A new interface has been used which does not require mapping the
allocated pages into KVA: vm_page.h functions vm_page_alloc_contig()
and vm_page_release_contig(). These are what vm.old_contigmalloc=0
uses internally, so the sysctl/tunable does not affect their operation.
When using the contigmalloc(9) and contigfree(9) interfaces, memory
is now tracked with malloc(9) stats. Several functions have been
exported from kern_malloc.c to allow other subsystems to use these
statistics, as well. This invalidates the BUGS section of the
contigmalloc(9) manpage.

to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to
have been freed. Another change is that if KVA allocation fails, the
allocated memory segment will be freed and not leaked.
There is a sysctl/tunable, defaulting to on, which causes the old
contigmalloc() algorithm to be used. Nonetheless, I have been using
vm.old_contigmalloc=0 for over a month. It is safe to switch at
run-time to see the difference it makes.
A new interface has been used which does not require mapping the
allocated pages into KVA: vm_page.h functions vm_page_alloc_contig()
and vm_page_release_contig(). These are what vm.old_contigmalloc=0
uses internally, so the sysctl/tunable does not affect their operation.
When using the contigmalloc(9) and contigfree(9) interfaces, memory
is now tracked with malloc(9) stats. Several functions have been
exported from kern_malloc.c to allow other subsystems to use these
statistics, as well. This invalidates the BUGS section of the
contigmalloc(9) manpage.

Reimplement contigmalloc(9) with an algorithm which stands a greatly-
improved chance of working despite pressure from running programs.
Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for
the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s
request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly)
at a time.
The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it
could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks
at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out
without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes
page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting
the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the
systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking
later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated.

Make contigmalloc() more reliable:
1. Remove a race whereby contigmalloc() would deadlock against the
running processes in the system if they kept reinstantiating
the memory on the active and inactive page queues that it was
trying to flush out. The process doing the contigmalloc() would
sit in "swwrt" forever and the swap pager would be going at full
force, but never get anywhere. Instead of doing it until the
queues are empty, launder for as many iterations as there are
pages in the queue.
2. Do all laundering to swap synchronously; previously, the vnode
laundering was synchronous and the swap laundering not.
3. Increase the number of launder-or-allocate passes to three, from
two, while failing without bothering to do all the laundering on
the third pass if allocation was not possible. This effectively
gives exactly two chances to launder enough contiguous memory,
helpful with high memory churn where a lot of memory from one pass
to the next (and during a single laundering loop) becomes dirtied
again.
I can now reliably hot-plug hardware requiring a 256KB contigmalloc()
without having the kldload/cbb ithread sit around failing to make
progress, while running a busy X session. Previously, it took killing
X to get contigmalloc() to get further (that is, quiescing the system),
and even then contigmalloc() returned failure.

Try to close a potential, but serious race in our VM subsystem.
Historically, our contigmalloc1() and contigmalloc2() assumes
that a page in PQ_CACHE can be unconditionally reused by busying
and freeing it. Unfortunatelly, when object happens to be not
NULL, the code will set m->object to NULL and disregard the fact
that the page is actually in the VM page bucket, resulting in
page bucket hash table corruption and finally, a filesystem
corruption, or a 'page not in hash' panic.
This commit has borrowed the idea taken from DragonFlyBSD's fix
to the VM fix by Matthew Dillon[1]. This version of patch will
do the following checks:
- When scanning pages in PQ_CACHE, check hold_count and
skip over pages that are held temporarily.
- For pages in PQ_CACHE and selected as candidate of being
freed, check if it is busy at that time.
Note: It seems that this is might be unrelated to kern/72539.

This commit has borrowed the idea taken from DragonFlyBSD's fix
to the VM fix by Matthew Dillon[1]. This version of patch will
do the following checks:
- When scanning pages in PQ_CACHE, check hold_count and
skip over pages that are held temporarily.
- For pages in PQ_CACHE and selected as candidate of being
freed, check if it is busy at that time.
Note: It seems that this is might be unrelated to kern/72539.

Reimplement contigmalloc(9) with an algorithm which stands a greatly-
improved chance of working despite pressure from running programs.
Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for
the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s
request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly)
at a time.
The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it
could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks
at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out
without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes
page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting
the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the
systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking
later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated.
The page-out operations are now blocking, as it would make little sense
to try to push out a page, then get its status immediately afterward
to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to
have been freed. Another change is that if KVA allocation fails, the
allocated memory segment will be freed and not leaked.
There is a sysctl/tunable, defaulting to on, which causes the old
contigmalloc() algorithm to be used. Nonetheless, I have been using
vm.old_contigmalloc=0 for over a month. It is safe to switch at
run-time to see the difference it makes.
A new interface has been used which does not require mapping the
allocated pages into KVA: vm_page.h functions vm_page_alloc_contig()
and vm_page_release_contig(). These are what vm.old_contigmalloc=0
uses internally, so the sysctl/tunable does not affect their operation.
When using the contigmalloc(9) and contigfree(9) interfaces, memory
is now tracked with malloc(9) stats. Several functions have been
exported from kern_malloc.c to allow other subsystems to use these
statistics, as well. This invalidates the BUGS section of the
contigmalloc(9) manpage.

The new contigmalloc(9) has a bad degenerate case where there were
many regions checked again and again despite knowing the pages
contained were not usable and only satisfied the alignment constraints
This case was compounded, especially for large allocations, by the
practice of looping from the top of memory so as to keep out of the
important low-memory regions. While the old contigmalloc(9) has the
same problem, it is not as noticeable due to looping from the low
memory to high.
This degenerate case is fixed, as well as reversing the sense of the
rest of the loops within it, to provide a tremendous speed increase.
This makes the best case O(n * VM overhead) much more likely than the
worst case O(4 * VM overhead). For comparison, the worst case for old
contigmalloc would be O(5 * VM overhead) in addition to its strategy
of turning used memory into free being highly pessimal.
Also, fix a bug that in practice most likely couldn't have been triggered,
int the new contigmalloc(9): it walked backwards from the end of memory
without accounting for how many pages it needed. Potentially, nonexistant
pages could have been mapped. This hasn't occurred because the kernel
generally requests as its first contigmalloc(9) a single page.

The new contigmalloc(9) has a bad degenerate case where there were
many regions checked again and again despite knowing the pages
contained were not usable and only satisfied the alignment constraints
This case was compounded, especially for large allocations, by the
practice of looping from the top of memory so as to keep out of the
important low-memory regions. While the old contigmalloc(9) has the
same problem, it is not as noticeable due to looping from the low
memory to high.
This degenerate case is fixed, as well as reversing the sense of the
rest of the loops within it, to provide a tremendous speed increase.
This makes the best case O(n * VM overhead) much more likely than the
worst case O(4 * VM overhead). For comparison, the worst case for old
contigmalloc would be O(5 * VM overhead) in addition to its strategy
of turning used memory into free being highly pessimal.
Also, fix a bug that in practice most likely couldn't have been triggered,
int the new contigmalloc(9): it walked backwards from the end of memory
without accounting for how many pages it needed. Potentially, nonexistant
pages could have been mapped. This hasn't occurred because the kernel
generally requests as its first contigmalloc(9) a single page.

Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for
the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s
request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly)
at a time.
The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it
could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks
at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out
without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes
page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting
the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the
systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking
later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated.
The page-out operations are now blocking, as it would make little sense
to try to push out a page, then get its status immediately afterward
to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to
have been freed. Another change is that if KVA allocation fails, the

Reimplement contigmalloc(9) with an algorithm which stands a greatly-
improved chance of working despite pressure from running programs.
Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for
the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s
request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly)
at a time.
The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it
could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks
at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out
without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes
page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting
the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the
systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking
later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated.
The page-out operations are now blocking, as it would make little sense
to try to push out a page, then get its status immediately afterward
to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to

cleanup_freed:

The new contigmalloc(9) has a bad degenerate case where there were
many regions checked again and again despite knowing the pages
contained were not usable and only satisfied the alignment constraints
This case was compounded, especially for large allocations, by the
practice of looping from the top of memory so as to keep out of the
important low-memory regions. While the old contigmalloc(9) has the
same problem, it is not as noticeable due to looping from the low
memory to high.
This degenerate case is fixed, as well as reversing the sense of the
rest of the loops within it, to provide a tremendous speed increase.
This makes the best case O(n * VM overhead) much more likely than the
worst case O(4 * VM overhead). For comparison, the worst case for old
contigmalloc would be O(5 * VM overhead) in addition to its strategy
of turning used memory into free being highly pessimal.
Also, fix a bug that in practice most likely couldn't have been triggered,
int the new contigmalloc(9): it walked backwards from the end of memory
without accounting for how many pages it needed. Potentially, nonexistant
pages could have been mapped. This hasn't occurred because the kernel
generally requests as its first contigmalloc(9) a single page.

Try to close a potential, but serious race in our VM subsystem.
Historically, our contigmalloc1() and contigmalloc2() assumes
that a page in PQ_CACHE can be unconditionally reused by busying
and freeing it. Unfortunatelly, when object happens to be not
NULL, the code will set m->object to NULL and disregard the fact
that the page is actually in the VM page bucket, resulting in
page bucket hash table corruption and finally, a filesystem
corruption, or a 'page not in hash' panic.
This commit has borrowed the idea taken from DragonFlyBSD's fix
to the VM fix by Matthew Dillon[1]. This version of patch will
do the following checks:
- When scanning pages in PQ_CACHE, check hold_count and
skip over pages that are held temporarily.
- For pages in PQ_CACHE and selected as candidate of being
freed, check if it is busy at that time.
Note: It seems that this is might be unrelated to kern/72539.

contigmalloc() algorithm to be used. Nonetheless, I have been using
vm.old_contigmalloc=0 for over a month. It is safe to switch at
run-time to see the difference it makes.
A new interface has been used which does not require mapping the
allocated pages into KVA: vm_page.h functions vm_page_alloc_contig()
and vm_page_release_contig(). These are what vm.old_contigmalloc=0
uses internally, so the sysctl/tunable does not affect their operation.
When using the contigmalloc(9) and contigfree(9) interfaces, memory
is now tracked with malloc(9) stats. Several functions have been
exported from kern_malloc.c to allow other subsystems to use these
statistics, as well. This invalidates the BUGS section of the
contigmalloc(9) manpage.

Reimplement contigmalloc(9) with an algorithm which stands a greatly-
improved chance of working despite pressure from running programs.
Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for
the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s
request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly)
at a time.
The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it
could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks
at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out
without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes
page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting
the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the
systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking
later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated.
The page-out operations are now blocking, as it would make little sense
to try to push out a page, then get its status immediately afterward
to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to
have been freed. Another change is that if KVA allocation fails, the
allocated memory segment will be freed and not leaked.
