The swap_pager_swapoff() function uses trylock for the object lock
before pagein, which means that either i/o to md(4) over swap, or
intensive page faults over swap pager objects might prevent swapoff()
from making any progress. Then the retry < 100 check fails and machine
panics.
If trylock fails, acquire the object lock in the blockable way and
restart the hash bucket walk. Keep retries logic for now.

The removal of vm_fault_additional_pages() meant that a hard fault on
a swap-backed page would result in only that page being read in. This
change implements readahead and readbehind for the swap pager in
swap_pager_getpages(). swap_pager_haspage() is modified to return the
largest contiguous non-resident range of pages containing the requested

to r254304, we had separate functions for reclamation and laundering
(vm_pageout_scan) versus updating usage information, i.e., "reference
bits", on active pages (vm_pageout_page_stats), and we only performed
vm_req_vmdaemon(VM_SWAP_IDLE) if vm_pages_needed was true. However, since
r254303, if vm_swap_idle_enabled was "1", we have performed
vm_req_vmdaemon(VM_SWAP_IDLE) regardless of whether we are short of free
pages. This was unintended and too aggressive, so I suspect no one uses
this feature. With this change, we restore the historical behavior and
only perform vm_req_vmdaemon(VM_SWAP_IDLE) when we are short of free

pager configuration was performed under Giant and geom asserted that
Giant is not owned. Now both of the reason went away.
On the other hand, note that swpageom_release() is called from the

Also fix some minor issues. The swapgeom() function does not use the
td argument, remove it. Recheck that the vnode passed is still VCHR

optimizations into two distinct pieces. The first piece consists of the
code that should only be performed once per page fault and requires the map
to be locked. The second piece consists of the code that should be
performed each time a pager is called on an object in the shadow chain.
(This second piece expects the map to be unlocked.)
Previously, the entire implementation could be executed multiple times.
Moreover, the second and subsequent executions would occur with the map
unlocked. Usually, the ensuing unsynchronized accesses to the map were
harmless because the map was not changing. Nonetheless, it was possible for
a use-after-free error to occur, where vm_fault() wrote to a freed map
entry. This change corrects that problem.

Consequently, a struct vm_map_entry is now smaller on 32-bit architectures.
Second, a vm_offset_t can be written atomically, whereas it may not be

of CPUs present. On amd64 this unbreaks the boot for systems with 92 or
more CPUs; the limit will vary on other systems depending on the size of
their uma_zone and uma_cache structures.
The major consumer of pages during UMA startup is the 19 zone structures
which are set up before UMA has bootstrapped itself sufficiently to use
the rest of the available memory: UMA Slabs, UMA Hash, 4 / 6 / 8 / 12 /
16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256 Bucket, vmem btag, VM OBJECT, RADIX NODE, MAP,
KMAP ENTRY, MAP ENTRY, VMSPACE, and fakepg. If the zone structures occupy
more than one page, they will not share pages and the number of pages
currently needed for startup is 19 * pages_per_zone + N, where N is the
number of pages used for allocating other structures; on amd64 N = 3 at
present (2 pages are allocated for UMA Kegs, and one page for UMA Hash).
This patch adds a new definition UMA_BOOT_PAGES_ZONES, currently set to 32,
and if a zone structure does not fit into a single page sets boot_pages to
UMA_BOOT_PAGES_ZONES * pages_per_zone instead of UMA_BOOT_PAGES (which
remains at 64). Consequently this patch has no effect on systems where the
zone structure fits into 2 or fewer pages (on amd64, 59 or fewer CPUs), but
increases boot_pages sufficiently on systems where the large number of CPUs
makes this structure larger. It seems safe to assume that systems with 60+
CPUs can afford to set aside an additional 128kB of memory per 32 CPUs.
The vm.boot_pages tunable continues to override this computation, but is
unlikely to be necessary in the future.

sleepable scan, iteration over the shadow chain looking for a page
could find an OBJ_DEAD object. Such state of the mapping is only
transient, the dead object will be terminated and removed from the
chain shortly. We must not return KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE unless the
object type is changed to OBJT_DEAD in the chain, indicating that
paging on this address is really impossible. Returning
KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE prematurely causes spurious SIGSEGV delivered
to processes, or kernel accesses to UVA spuriously failing with
EFAULT.
If the object with OBJ_DEAD flag is found, only return
KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE when object type is already OBJT_DEAD.
Otherwise, sleep a tick and retry the fault handling.
Ideally, we would wait until the OBJ_DEAD flag is resolved, e.g. by
waiting until the paging on this object is finished. But to do so, we
need to reference the dead object, while vm_object_collapse() insists
on owning the final reference on the collapsed object. This could be
fixed by e.g. changing the assert to shared reference release between
vm_fault() and vm_object_collapse(), but it seems to be too much
complications for rare boundary condition.

There is an order between covered vnode lock and allproc_lock, which
is established by calling mountcheckdirs() while owning the covered
vnode lock. mountcheckdirs() iterates over the processes, protected by
allproc_lock. This order is needed and seems to be not avoidable.
On the other hand, various VM daemons also need to iterate over all
processes, and they lock and unlock user maps. Since unlock of the
user map may trigger processing of the deferred map entries, it causes
vnode locking to occur. Or, when vmspace is freed, dropping references
on the vnode-backed object also lock vnodes. We get reverted order
comparing with the mount/unmount order.
For VM daemons, there is no need to own allproc_lock while we operate
on vmspaces. If the process is held, it serves as the marker for
allproc list, which allows to continue the iteration.
Add _PHOLD_LITE() macro, similar to _PHOLD(), but not causing swap-in

since e.g. calling faultin() in OOM conditions only exaggerates the

corrupted flags in vm objects, most visible is spurious OBJ_DEAD flag,

Avoid the active object marking, instead provide equally inexact but

Avoid iterating over the processes mappings altogether by using

The trouble is that a single flag cannot really serve both purposes, because

the flag will be cleared by vm_page_free() before the page daemon has met
its target, and this can lead to the OOM killer being invoked prematurely.
To address this problem, a new flag "vm_pageout_wanted" is introduced.
