in place. To do per-cpu stats, convert all fields that previously were
maintained in the vmmeters that sit in pcpus to counter(9).
- Since some vmmeter stats may be touched at very early stages of boot,
before we have set up UMA and we can do counter_u64_alloc(), provide an
early counter mechanism:
o Leave one spare uint64_t in struct pcpu, named pc_early_dummy_counter.
o Point counter(9) fields of vmmeter to pcpu[0].pc_early_dummy_counter,
so that at early stages of boot, before counters are allocated we already
point to a counter that can be safely written to.
o For sparc64 that required a whole dummy pcpu[MAXCPU] array.
Further related changes:
- Don't include vmmeter.h into pcpu.h.
- vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsout and vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsin changed to 64-bit,
to match kernel representation.
- struct vmmeter hidden under _KERNEL, and only vmstat(1) is an exclusion.

The swap pager enqueues laundered pages near the head of the inactive queue
to avoid another trip through LRU before reclamation. This change adds
support for this behaviour to the vnode pager and makes use of it in UFS and
ext2fs. Some ioflag handling is consolidated into a common subroutine so
that this support can be easily extended to other filesystems which make use
of the buffer cache. No changes are needed for ZFS since its putpages
routine always undirties the pages before returning, and the laundry
thread requeues the pages appropriately in this case.

Although the higher end MIPS hardware handles cache aliasing issues in
hardware, the older cores (r4k, etc) and some compile versions of the
newer cores (mips24k, mips34k, mips74k) don't have this feature.
This means we end up with some very unfortunate behaviour that was
made very obvious by some recent changes to the FFS pager by kib.
So, flip this off until we get our MIPS pmap/cache code upgraded to
handle aliased pages in software.

Suppose that we have an exclusively busy page, and a thread which can
accept shared-busy page. In this case, typical code waiting for the
page xbusy state to pass is
again:
VM_OBJECT_WLOCK(object);
...
if (vm_page_xbusied(m)) {
vm_page_lock(m);
VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK(object); <---1
vm_page_busy_sleep(p, "vmopax");
goto again;
}
Suppose that the xbusy state owner locked the object, unbusied the
page and unlocked the object after we are at the line [1], but before we
executed the load of the busy_lock word in vm_page_busy_sleep(). If it
happens that there is still no waiters recorded for the busy state,
the xbusy owner did not acquired the page lock, so it proceeded.
More, suppose that some other thread happen to share-busy the page
after xbusy state was relinquished but before the m->busy_lock is read
in vm_page_busy_sleep(). Again, that thread only needs vm_object lock
to proceed. Then, vm_page_busy_sleep() reads busy_lock value equal to
the VPB_SHARERS_WORD(1).
In this case, all tests in vm_page_busy_sleep(9) pass and we are going
to sleep, despite the page being share-busied.
Update check for m->busy_lock == VPB_UNBUSIED in vm_page_busy_sleep(9)
to also accept shared-busy state if we only wait for the xbusy state to
pass.
Merge sequential if()s with the same 'then' clause in
vm_page_busy_sleep().
Note that the current code does not share-busy pages from parallel
threads, the only way to have more that one sbusy owner is right now
is to recurse.

a buffer pointer in the event of an error (for some errors it would
return a buffer pointer and for other errors it would not return a
buffer pointer). The cluster_read() function was similarly inconsistent.
Clients of these functions were inconsistent in handling errors.
Some would assume that no buffer was returned after an error and
would thus lose buffers under certain error conditions. Others would
assume that brelse() should always be called after an error and
would thus panic the system under certain error conditions.
To correct both of these problems with minimal code churn, bread()
and cluster_write() now always free the buffer when returning an
error thus ensuring that buffers will never be lost. The brelse()
routine checks for being passed a NULL buffer pointer and silently
returns to avoid panics. Thus both approaches to handling error
returns from bread() and cluster_read() will work correctly.
Future code should be written assuming that bread() and cluster_read()
will never return a buffer with an error, so should not attempt to
brelse() the buffer when an error is returned.

of POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED so that it causes the backing pages to be moved to
the head of the inactive queue instead of being cached.
This affects the implementation of POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE as well, since it
works by applying POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED to file ranges after they have been
read or written. At that point the corresponding buffers may still be
dirty, so the previous implementation would coalesce successive ranges and
apply POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED to the result, ensuring that pages backing the
dirty buffers would eventually be cached. To preserve this behaviour in an
efficient manner, this change adds a new buf flag, B_NOREUSE, which causes
the pages backing a VMIO buf to be placed at the head of the inactive queue
when the buf is released. POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE then works by setting this
flag in bufs that underlie the specified range.

improvements to the page daemon have rendered it unnecessary. In the
event that low-memory deadlocks become an issue it would be possible
to make a daemon or event handler that performs a similar action on

is analogous to the page cache and some minimum working set is desired
another possibility is to simply shrink the minimum working set which
has less downside now that file pages are not directly mapped.

Second, we must re-dirty the real buffer containing the cylinder group

the write error was only transient, we get corrupted bitmaps.
We cannot re-dirty the original cg buffer in the
