objective was to provide up to date reference status for active pages in
case memory did become scarce and active pages needed to be deactivated.
The active page queue scan performed by vm_pageout_page_stats() was
virtually identical to that performed by vm_pageout_scan(), and so r254304
eliminated vm_pageout_page_stats(). Instead, vm_pageout_scan() is
called with the parameter "pass" set to zero. The intention was that when
pass is zero, vm_pageout_scan() would only scan the active queue. However,
the variable page_shortage can still be greater than zero when memory is not

Consequently, the inactive queue may be scanned and dirty pages laundered

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 cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to
represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new
structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous
cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285
rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough.
The structure definition looks like this:
struct cap_rights {
uint64_t cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2];
};
The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0.
The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total
number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to
0, we have 2 array elements.
The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0.
The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is
used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means
there can be at most five array elements in the future.
To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two
arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg.
#define CAP_PDKILL CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL)
We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong
to the same array element, eg:
#define CAP_LOOKUP CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMOD CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMODAT (CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP)
There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure:
cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights);
void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little);
Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(),
cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by
separating them with commas, eg:
cap_rights_t rights;
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT);
There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are
actually macros that take care of the termination, eg:
#define cap_rights_set(rights, ...) \
__cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL)
void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that
there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided
together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP
belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1:
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL);
Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is
correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition.
This commit also breaks compatibility with some existing Capsicum system calls,
but I see no other way to do that. This should be fine as Capsicum is still
experimental and this change is not going to 9.x.

pmap function, pmap_advise(), that operates on a range of virtual addresses
within the specified pmap, allowing for a more efficient implementation of
MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE. Previously, the implementation of
MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE relied on per-page pmap operations, such as
pmap_clear_reference(). Intuitively, the problem with this implementation
is that the pmap-level locks are acquired and released and the page table
traversed repeatedly, once for each resident page in the range
that was specified to madvise(2). A more subtle flaw with the previous
implementation is that pmap_clear_reference() would clear the reference bit
on all mappings to the specified page, not just the mapping in the range
specified to madvise(2).

rather arbitrary, the multithreaded daemon could be allowed for the
single-domain machines, or one domain might be split into several page
domains, to further increase concurrency.
Right now, each pagedaemon thread tries to reach the global target,
precalculated at the start of the pass. This is not optimal, since it
could cause excessive page deactivation and freeing. The code should
be changed to re-check the global page deficit state in the loop after
some number of iterations.
The pagedaemons reach the quorum before starting the OOM, since one
thread inability to meet the target is normal for split queues. Only
when all pagedaemons fail to produce enough reusable pages, OOM is
started by single selected thread.
Launder is modified to take into account the segments layout with
regard to the region for which cleaning is performed.

We cannot busy a page before doing pagefaults.
Infact, it can deadlock against vnode lock, as it tries to vget().
Other functions, right now, have an opposite lock ordering, like
vm_object_sync(), which acquires the vnode lock first and then
sleeps on the busy mechanism.
Before this patch is reinserted we need to break this ordering.

Use the soft-busy mechanism to protect page content accesses during

After this change only vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() is still using the
hold mechanism for page content access.
There is an additional complexity there as the quick path cannot
immediately access the page object to busy the page and the slow path
cannot however busy more than one page a time (to avoid deadlocks).
Fixing such primitive can bring to complete removal of the page hold

do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the
unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for
mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount
of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30%
of the system time on i/o intensive workloads.
The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED
flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is
performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which
does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into
buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag.
When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already
exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA
reservation.
Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy().
Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length
instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio
should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio,
otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio
request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA
submap.
The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and
the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the
same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt
tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the
bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers
can accept unmapped i/o requests.
Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed
tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation
requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped
buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where
pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested.
In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace
limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the
buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a
reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The
non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is
accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that
the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately.
The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because
buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.

Replace the per-object resident and cached pages splay tree with a
path-compressed multi-digit radix trie.
Along with this, switch also the x86-specific handling of idle page
tables to using the radix trie.
This change is supposed to do the following:
- Allowing the acquisition of read locking for lookup operations of the
resident/cached pages collections as the per-vm_page_t splay iterators
are now removed.
- Increase the scalability of the operations on the page collections.
The radix trie does rely on the consumers locking to ensure atomicity of
its operations. In order to avoid deadlocks the bisection nodes are
pre-allocated in the UMA zone. This can be done safely because the
algorithm needs at maximum one new node per insert which means the
maximum number of the desired nodes is the number of available physical
frames themselves. However, not all the times a new bisection node is
really needed.
The radix trie implements path-compression because UFS indirect blocks
can lead to several objects with a very sparse trie, increasing the number
of levels to usually scan. It also helps in the nodes pre-fetching by
introducing the single node per-insert property.
This code is not generalized (yet) because of the possible loss of
performance by having much of the sizes in play configurable.
However, efforts to make this code more general and then reusable in
further different consumers might be really done.
The only KPI change is the removal of the function vm_page_splay() which
is now reaped.
The only KBI change, instead, is the removal of the left/right iterators
from struct vm_page, which are now reaped.

Replace the sub-optimal uma_zone_set_obj() primitive with more modern
uma_zone_reserve_kva(). The new primitive reserves before hand
the necessary KVA space to cater the zone allocations and allocates pages
with ALLOC_NOOBJ. More specifically:
- uma_zone_reserve_kva() does not need an object to cater the backend
allocator.
- uma_zone_reserve_kva() can cater M_WAITOK requests, in order to
serve zones which need to do uma_prealloc() too.
- When possible, uma_zone_reserve_kva() uses directly the direct-mapping
by uma_small_alloc() rather than relying on the KVA / offset
combination.
The removal of the object attribute allows 2 further changes:
1) _vm_object_allocate() becomes static within vm_object.c
2) VM_OBJECT_LOCK_INIT() is removed. This function is replaced by
direct calls to mtx_init() as there is no need to export it anymore
and the calls aren't either homogeneous anymore: there are now small
differences between arguments passed to mtx_init().

in devfs if a particular race condition is hit in the device pager
code.
This was a side effect of change 227530 which changed the device
pager interface to call a new destructor routine for the cdev.
That destructor routine, old_dev_pager_dtor(), takes a VM object
handle.
The object handle is cast to a struct cdev *, and passed into
dev_rel().
That works in most cases, except the case in cdev_pager_allocate()
where there is a race condition between two threads allocating an
object backed by the same device. The loser of the race
deallocates its object at the end of the function.
The problem is that before inserting the object into the
dev_pager_object_list, the object's handle is changed from the
struct cdev pointer to the object's own address. This is to avoid
conflicts with the winner of the race, which already inserted an
object in the list with a handle that is a pointer to the same cdev
structure.
The object is then passed to vm_object_deallocate(), and eventually
makes its way down to old_dev_pager_dtor(). That function passes
the handle pointer (which is actually a VM object, not a struct
cdev as usual) into dev_rel(). dev_rel() decrements the reference
count in the assumed struct cdev (which happens to be 0), and
that triggers the assertion in dev_rel() that the reference count
is greater than or equal to 0.
The fix is to add a cdev pointer to the VM object, and use that
pointer when calling the cdev_pg_dtor() routine.
vm_object.h: Add a struct cdev pointer to the VM object
structure.
device_pager.c: In cdev_pager_allocate(), populate the new cdev
pointer.
In dev_pager_dealloc(), use the new cdev pointer
when calling the object's cdev_pg_dtor() routine.

similar changes had to be made in various places throughout the machine-
independent virtual memory layer to support the new vm object type.
However, in most of these places, it's actually not the type of the vm
object that matters to us but instead certain attributes of its pages.
For example, OBJT_DEVICE, OBJT_MGTDEVICE, and OBJT_SG objects contain
fictitious pages. In other words, in most of these places, we were
testing the vm object's type to determine if it contained fictitious (or
unmanaged) pages.
To both simplify the code in these places and make the addition of future
vm object types easier, this change introduces two new vm object flags
that describe attributes of the vm object's pages, specifically, whether

Add detail to the comment describing this function. In particular,

Eliminate the abrupt change in behavior when the specified address range
grows from MAX_INIT_PT pages to MAX_INIT_PT plus one pages. Instead of
doing nothing, i.e., preloading no mappings whatsoever, map any resident
pages that fall within the start of the specified address range, i.e.,
[addr, addr + ulmin(size, ptoa(MAX_INIT_PT))).
Long ago, the vm object's list of resident pages was not ordered, so
this function had to choose between probing the global hash table of
all resident pages and iterating over the vm object's unordered list of
resident pages. Now, the list is ordered, so there is no reason for
MAP_PREFAULT_PARTIAL to be concerned with the vm object's count of
resident changes.

inserting the page into the hold queue has the side effect of setting the

There are two aspects to the sequential access optimization: (1) read ahead
of pages that are expected to be accessed in the near future and (2) unmap
and cache behind of pages that are not expected to be accessed again. This
revision changes both aspects.
The read ahead optimization is now more effective. It starts with the same
initial read window as before, but arithmetically grows the window on
sequential page faults. This can yield increased read bandwidth. For
example, on one of my machines, a program using mmap() to read a file that
is several times larger than the machine's physical memory takes about 17%
less time to complete.
The unmap and cache behind optimization is now more selectively applied.
The read ahead window must grow to its maximum size before unmap and cache
behind is performed. This significantly reduces the number of times that
pages are unmapped and cached only to be reactivated a short time later.
The unmap and cache behind optimization now clears each page's referenced
flag. Previously, in the case of dirty pages, if the containing file was
still mapped at the time that the page daemon examined the dirty pages,
they would be reactivated.
From a stylistic standpoint, this revision also cleanly separates the
implementation of the read ahead and unmap/cache behind optimizations.

This checkin only adds the setting of the mount point for the

When access restrictions are added to a page table entry, we flush the
corresponding virtual address mapping from the TLB. In contrast, when
access restrictions are removed from a page table entry, we do not
flush the virtual address mapping from the TLB. This is exactly as
recommended in AMD's documentation. In effect, when access
restrictions are removed from a page table entry, AMD's MMUs will
transparently refresh a stale TLB entry. In short, this saves us from
having to perform potentially costly TLB flushes. In contrast,
Intel's MMUs are allowed to generate a spurious page fault based upon
the stale TLB entry. Usually, such spurious page faults are handled
by vm_fault() without incident. However, when we are executing
no-fault sections of the kernel, we are not allowed to execute
vm_fault(). This change introduces special-case handling for spurious
page faults that occur in no-fault sections of the kernel.

Writeable shared vnode-backed mappings are accounted for in vm_mmap(),
and vm_map_insert() is instructed to set MAP_ENTRY_VN_WRITECNT flag on
the created map entry. During deferred map entry deallocation,
vm_map_process_deferred() checks for MAP_ENTRY_VN_WRITECOUNT and
decrements writemappings for the vm object.
Now, the writeable mount cannot be demoted to read-only while
writeable shared mappings of the vnodes from the mount point
exist. Also, execve(2) fails for such files with ETXTBUSY, as it

This is quick and imperfect solution, as swap device will still be opened

interfaces.
This is typically useful when there is the need to build another
locking interface on top of the mutex one.
The introduced functions that consumers can use are:
- mtx_lock_flags_
- mtx_unlock_flags_
- mtx_lock_spin_flags_
- mtx_unlock_spin_flags_
- mtx_assert_
- thread_lock_flags_
Spare notes:
- Likely we can get rid of all the 'INVARIANTS' specification in the
ppbus code by using the same macro as done in this patch (but this is
left to the ppbus maintainer)
- all the other locking interfaces may require a similar cleanup, where
the most notable case is sx which will allow a further cleanup of
vm_map locking facilities
- The patch should be fully compatible with older branches, thus a MFC
is previewed (infact it uses all the underlying mechanisms already
present).

yielding a new public interface, vm_page_alloc_contig(). This new function
addresses some of the limitations of the current interfaces, contigmalloc()
and kmem_alloc_contig(). For example, the physically contiguous memory that
is allocated with those interfaces can only be allocated to the kernel vm
object and must be mapped into the kernel virtual address space. It also
provides functionality that vm_phys_alloc_contig() doesn't, such as wiring
the returned pages. Moreover, unlike that function, it respects the low
water marks on the paging queues and wakes up the page daemon when
necessary. That said, at present, this new function can't be applied to all
types of vm objects. However, that restriction will be eliminated in the
coming weeks.
From a design standpoint, this change also addresses an inconsistency
between vm_phys_alloc_contig() and the other vm_phys_alloc*() functions.
Specifically, vm_phys_alloc_contig() manipulated vm_page fields that other
functions in vm/vm_phys.c didn't. Moreover, vm_phys_alloc_contig() knew
about vnodes and reservations. Now, vm_page_alloc_contig() is responsible
for these things.

Device pager can be allocated with the cdev_pager_allocate(9)
function, which takes struct cdev_pager_ops, containing
constructor/destructor and page fault handler methods supplied by
driver.
Constructor and destructor, called at the pager allocation and
deallocation time, allow the driver to handle per-object private data.
The pager handler is called to handle page fault on the vm map entry
backed by the driver pager. Driver shall return either the vm_page_t
which should be mapped, or error code (which does not cause kernel
panic anymore). The page handler interface has a placeholder to
specify the access mode causing the fault, but currently PROT_READ is
always passed there.
