Since they can't be paged out, they are never enqueued in a paging queue.
Nonetheless, passing PQ_INACTIVE to vm_page_unwire() creates the appearance

In the erroneus case that triggered this bug, the number of pages
to allocate in uma_zone_reserve_kva() was 0x8ebe6, that gave the

fragmented conditions currently just wakes up the pagedaemon. The
kmem arena is significantly smaller then the total available physical
memory, which means that there are loads where kmem arena space could
be exhausted, while there is a lot of pages available still. The
woken up pagedaemon sees vm_pages_needed != 0, verifies the condition
vm_paging_needed() which is false, clears the pass and returns back to
sleep, not calling neither uma_reclaim() nor lowmem handler.
To handle low kmem arena conditions, create additional pagedaemon
thread which calls uma_reclaim() directly. The thread sleeps on the
dedicated channel and kmem_reclaim() wakes the thread in addition to
the pagedaemon.

uma_reclaim(). Reclamation code must not see half-constructed or
destructed zones. Do this by bracing uma_zcreate() and uma_zdestroy()
into a shared-locked sx, and take the sx exclusively in uma_reclaim().
Usually zones are not created/destroyed during the system operation,
but tmpfs mounts do cause zone operations and exposed the bug.
Another solution could be to only expose a new keg on uma_kegs list
after the corresponding zone is fully constructed, and similar
treatment for the destruction. But it probably requires more risky
code rearrangement as well.

This code has had an extensive rewrite and a good series of reviews, both by the author and other parties. This means a lot of code has been simplified. Pluggable structures for high-rate entropy generators are available, and it is most definitely not the case that /dev/random can be driven by only a hardware souce any more. This has been designed out of the device. Hardware sources are stirred into the CSPRNG (Yarrow, Fortuna) like any other entropy source. Pluggable modules may be written by third parties for additional sources.
The harvesting structures and consequently the locking have been simplified. Entropy harvesting is done in a more general way (the documentation for this will follow). There is some GREAT entropy to be had in the UMA allocator, but it is disabled for now as messing with that is likely to annoy many people.
The venerable (but effective) Yarrow algorithm, which is no longer supported by its authors now has an alternative, Fortuna. For now, Yarrow is retained as the default algorithm, but this may be changed using a kernel option. It is intended to make Fortuna the default algorithm for 11.0. Interested parties are encouraged to read ISBN 978-0-470-47424-2 "Cryptography Engineering" By Ferguson, Schneier and Kohno for Fortuna's gory details. Heck, read it anyway.

Acquire the lock in read mode when just needed to ensure the stability

speaking) in uma_reclaim() on machines with lots of zones/kegs. If the

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

On some of my systems this bug made user argument passed by ZFS code to
uma_zalloc_arg() unexpectedly block UMA per-CPU caches for those zones.
This is a last resort for very low memory condition in case other measures
to free memory were ineffective. Sequentially cycle through all CPUs and
extract per-CPU cache buckets into zone cache from where they can be freed.
Lock congestion is the same, whether it happens on alloc or free, so
handle it equally. Now that we have back pressure, there is no problem
to grow buckets a bit faster. Any way growth is much slower then in 9.x.
These new buckets make bucket size self-tuning more soft and precise.
Without them there are buckets for 1, 5, 13, 29, ... items. While at
bigger sizes difference about 2x is fine, at smallest ones it is 5x and
2.6x respectively. New buckets make that line look like 1, 3, 5, 9, 13,
29, reducing jumps between steps, making algorithm work softer, allocating
and freeing memory in better fitting chunks. Otherwise there is quite a
big gap between allocating 128K and 5x128K of RAM at once.
Every time system detects low memory condition decrease bucket sizes for
each zone by one item. As result, higher memory pressure will push to
smaller bucket sizes and so smaller per-CPU caches and so more efficient
memory use.
Before this change there was no force to oppose buckets growth as result
of practically inevitable zone lock conflicts, and after some run time
per-CPU caches could consume enough RAM to kill the system.
The consequence of the bug is that fini calls are not done
when a slab is freed by a call-back from the page daemon.
It went unnoticed for two months because fini is little used.

- Always free to the alloc bucket if there is space. This gives LIFO
allocation order to improve hot-cache performance. This also allows
for zones with a single bucket per-cpu rather than a pair if the entire
working set fits in one bucket.
- Enable per-cpu caches of buckets. To prevent recursive bucket
allocation one bucket zone still has per-cpu caches disabled.
- Pick the initial bucket size based on a table driven maximum size
per-bucket rather than the number of items per-page. This gives
more sane initial sizes.
- Only grow the bucket size when we face contention on the zone lock, this
causes bucket sizes to grow more slowly.
- Adjust the number of items per-bucket to account for the header space.
This packs the buckets more efficiently per-page while making them
not quite powers of two.
- Eliminate the per-zone free bucket list. Always return buckets back
to the bucket zone. This ensures that as zones grow into larger
bucket sizes they eventually discard the smaller sizes. It persists
fewer buckets in the system. The locking is slightly trickier.
