Change the management of cached pages (PQ_CACHE) in two fundamental ways: (1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the object's lock or the page queues lock. This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon. Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache(). However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock. Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead, this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary splay tree and memq. (2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will succeed. Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9) specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

#ifdef _KERNEL
Very rough first cut at NUMA support for the physical page allocator. For now it uses a very dumb first-touch allocation policy. This will change in the future. - Each architecture indicates the maximum number of supported memory domains via a new VM_NDOMAIN parameter in <machine/vmparam.h>. - Each cpu now has a PCPU_GET(domain) member to indicate the memory domain a CPU belongs to. Domain values are dense and numbered from 0. - When a platform supports multiple domains, the default freelist (VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT) is split up into N freelists, one for each domain. The MD code is required to populate an array of mem_affinity structures. Each entry in the array defines a range of memory (start and end) and a domain for the range. Multiple entries may be present for a single domain. The list is terminated by an entry where all fields are zero. This array of structures is used to split up phys_avail[] regions that fall in VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT into per-domain freelists. - Each memory domain has a separate lookup-array of freelists that is used when fulfulling a physical memory allocation. Right now the per-domain freelists are listed in a round-robin order for each domain. In the future a table such as the ACPI SLIT table may be used to order the per-domain lookup lists based on the penalty for each memory domain relative to a specific domain. The lookup lists may be examined via a new vm.phys.lookup_lists sysctl. - The first-touch policy is implemented by using PCPU_GET(domain) to pick a lookup list when allocating memory.

Redo the page table page allocation on MIPS, as suggested by alc@. The UMA zone based allocation is replaced by a scheme that creates a new free page list for the KSEG0 region, and a new function in sys/vm that allocates pages from a specific free page list. This also fixes a race condition introduced by the UMA based page table page allocation code. Dropping the page queue and pmap locks before the call to uma_zfree, and re-acquiring them afterwards will introduce a race condtion(noted by alc@). The changes are : - Revert the earlier changes in MIPS pmap.c that added UMA zone for page table pages. - Add a new freelist VM_FREELIST_HIGHMEM to MIPS vmparam.h for memory that is not directly mapped (in 32bit kernel). Normal page allocations will first try the HIGHMEM freelist and then the default(direct mapped) freelist. - Add a new function 'vm_page_t vm_page_alloc_freelist(int flind, int order, int req)' to vm/vm_page.c to allocate a page from a specified freelist. The MIPS page table pages will be allocated using this function from the freelist containing direct mapped pages. - Move the page initialization code from vm_phys_alloc_contig() to a new function vm_page_alloc_init(), and use this function to initialize pages in vm_page_alloc_freelist() too. - Split the function vm_phys_alloc_pages(int pool, int order) to create vm_phys_alloc_freelist_pages(int flind, int pool, int order), and use this function from both vm_page_alloc_freelist() and vm_phys_alloc_pages().
