Implement vm_page_reclaim_contig_domain_ext() to reclaim multiple
contiguous regions at once. This makes it more efficient for users
that need multiple contiguous regions to reclaim those regions
efficiently.
This is needed because callers like ktls may need to reclaim many
contiguous regions, and each scan of physical memory can take
multiple seconds on a large memory machine (order of 100GB of
RMA). Rather than modifying the core algorithm, I extended
vm_page_reclaim_contig_domain() to take a "desired_runs" argument to
allow the caller to request that it reclaim more than just a single
run. There is no functional change intended for all existing
callers.
The first user for this interface is the ktls code
(https://reviews.freebsd.org/D39421). By reclaiming multiple runs,
ktls goes from consuming hours of CPU to refill its buffer zone to
just seconds or minutes.

The diff adds vm_page_alloc_noobj() and vm_page_alloc_noobj_domain().
These mostly correspond to vm_page_alloc() and vm_page_alloc_domain()
when no VM object is specified, with the exception that they handle
VM_ALLOC_ZERO by zeroing the page, rather than by preserving PG_ZERO.
This simplifies callers and will permit simplification of the
vm_page_alloc_domain() definition.

If a M_WAITOK contig alloc fails, the VM subsystem will try to
reclaim contiguous memory twice before actually failing the
request. On a system with 64GB of RAM I've observed this take
400-500ms before it finally gives up, and I believe that this
will only be worse on systems with even more memory.
In certain contexts this delay is extremely harmful, so add a flag
that will skip reclaim for allocation requests to allow those
paths to opt-out of doing an expensive reclaim.

It can useful for code outside the VM system to look up the NUMA domain
of a page backing a virtual or physical address, specifically when
creating NUMA-aware data structures. We have _vm_phys_domain() for
this, but the leading underscore implies that it's an internal function,
and vm_phys.h has dependencies on a number of other headers.
Rename vm_phys_domain() to vm_page_domain(), and _vm_phys_domain() to
vm_phys_domain(). Make the latter an inline function.
Add _vm_phys.h and define struct vm_phys_seg there so that it's easier
to use in other headers. Include it from vm_page.h so that
vm_page_domain() can be defined there.
Include machine/vmparam.h from _vm_phys.h since it depends directly on

In very high throughput workloads, the inactive scan can become overwhelmed
as you have many cores producing pages and a single core freeing. Since
Mark's introduction of batched pagequeue operations, we can now run multiple
inactive threads working on independent batches.
To avoid confusing the pid and other control algorithms, I (Jeff) do this in
a mpi-like fan out and collect model that is driven from the primary page
daemon. It decides whether the shortfall can be overcome with a single
thread and if not dispatches multiple threads and waits for their results.
The heuristic is based on timing the pageout activity and averaging a
pages-per-second variable which is exponentially decayed. This is visible in
sysctl and may be interesting for other purposes.
I (Jeff) have verified that this does indeed double our paging throughput
when used with two threads. With four we tend to run into other contention
problems. For now I would like to commit this infrastructure with only a
single thread enabled.
The number of worker threads per domain can be controlled with the
'vm.pageout_threads_per_domain' tunable.

Introduce the vm_page_pqstate_commit_*() functions. These functions act
as helpers around vm_page_astate_fcmpset() and are specialized for
specific types of operations. vm_page_pqstate_commit() wraps these
functions.
Convert a number of routines to use these new helpers. Use
vm_page_release_toq() in vm_page_unwire() and vm_page_release() to
atomically release a wiring reference and release the page into a queue.
This has the side effect that vm_page_unwire() will leave the page in
the active queue if it is already present there.
Convert the page queue scans to use the new helpers. Simplify
vm_pageout_reinsert_inactive(), which requeues pages that were found to
be busy during an inactive queue scan, to avoid duplicating the work of
