p_vmspace is initialized for the new process. Since pmap_growkernel
doesn't yet know about the new page directory, it isn't updated, and
subsequent use causes a failure.
The fix is (1) to clear p_vmspace early, to stop pmap_growkernel
from stomping on memory, and (2) to defer part of the initialization
of new page directories until p_vmspace is initialized.

Don't set OBJ_ONEMAPPING on arbitrary vm objects. Only default

vm_object.c:
If OBJ_ONEMAPPING isn't already clear in vm_object_shadow,
we are in trouble. Instead of clearing it, make it
an assertion that it is already clear.
QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN,
QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean
and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM
assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf()
has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is,
it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to
allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer
when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for
the buffer cache).
Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed
in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer
flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions
unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate
VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to
flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation
where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that
was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon
called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers
when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit.
This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers
are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block.
The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the
8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of
memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed
somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the
intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future.
reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which
could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions,
such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This
algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted
if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to
the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but
not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously
occured when write_behind was turned off in the system.
The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive
P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem
buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set
this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose
of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks.

directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially

piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed
them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.
The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =
VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This
is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now
responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper
routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often
when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed
in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF
situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing
B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE.
getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now
formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.
There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.
Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be
recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes.

* vm_page_select_free() has been *greatly* simplified.
* The PQ_ZERO page queue and supporting structures have been removed
* vm_page_zero_idle() revamped (see below)
PG_ZERO setting and clearing has been migrated from vm_page_alloc()
to vm_page_free[_zero]() and will eventually be guarenteed to remain
tracked throughout a page's life ( if it isn't already ).
When a page is freed, PG_ZERO pages are appended to the appropriate
tailq in the PQ_FREE queue while non-PG_ZERO pages are prepended.
When locating a new free page, PG_ZERO selection operates from within
vm_page_list_find() ( get page from end of queue instead of beginning
of queue ) and then only occurs in the nominal critical path case. If
the nominal case misses, both normal and zero-page allocation devolves
into the same _vm_page_list_find() select code without any specific
zero-page optimizations.
Additionally, vm_page_zero_idle() has been revamped. Hysteresis has been
added and zero-page tracking adjusted to conform with the other changes.
Currently hysteresis is set at 1/3 (lo) and 1/2 (hi) the number of free
pages. We may wish to increase both parameters as time permits. The

of the page prior to calling vm_page_rename() has been removed.
about conversions of objects to OBJT_SWAP, it is done automatically
now.
Replaced manually inserted code with inline calls for busy waiting on
pages, which also incidently fixes a potential PG_BUSY race due to
the code not running at splvm().
vm_objects no longer have a paging_offset field ( see vm/vm_object.c )
instead to properly handle any waiters.
Added comments, added support for M_ASLEEP. Generally treat M_ flags
as flags instead of constants to compare against.
and the swap_pager has been completely replaced.
The new swap pager uses the new blist radix-tree based bitmap allocator
for low level swap allocation and deallocation. The new allocator
is effectively O(5) while the old one was O(N), and the new allocator
allocates all required memory at init time rather then at allocate
memory on the fly at run time.
Swap metadata is allocated in clusters and stored in a hash table,
eliminating linearly allocated structures.
Many, many features have been rewritten or added. Swap space is now
reallocated on the fly providing a poor-mans auto defragmentation of
swap space. Swap space that is no longer needed is freed on a timely
basis so no garbage collection is necessary.
Swap I/O is marked B_ASYNC and NFS has been fixed to do the right
thing with it, so NFS-based paging now has around 10x the performance
as it did before ( previously NFS enforced synchronous I/O for paging ).
changes to the VM system to support the new swapper, VM bug
fixes, several VM optimizations, and some additional revamping of the
VM code. The specific bug fixes will be documented with additional
forced commits. This commit is somewhat rough in regards to code
cleanup issues.

shared signal handling when there is shared signal handling being
used.
This removes the main objection to making the shared signal handling
a standard ability in rfork() and friends and 'unconditionalising'
this code. (i.e. the allocation of an extra 328 bytes per process).
Signal handling information remains in the U area until such a time as
it's reference count would be incremented to > 1. At that point a new
struct is malloc'd and maintained in KVM so that it can be shared between
the processes (threads) using it.
A function to check the reference count and move the struct back to the U
area when it drops back to 1 is also supplied. Signal information is
therefore now swapable for all processes that are not sharing that
information with other processes. THis should addres the concerns raised
by Garrett and others.

downward growing stacks more general.
Add (but don't activate) code to use the new stack facility
when running threads, (specifically the linux threads support).
This allows people to use both linux compiled linuxthreads, and also the
native FreeBSD linux-threads port.
The code is conditional on VM_STACK. Not using this will
produce the old heavily tested system.

Also, kill related "suggest more swap space" warning (also introduced in

with snprintf(); for others cases, added terminating NUL bytes where
appropriate, replaced constants like "16" with sizeof(), etc.
These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for
maintainability's sake. Any instance where it wasn't "immediately
obvious" that a buffer overflow could not occur was made safer.

This case apparently doesn't happen in normal operation, but it
happens when vm_page_alloc_contig() is called when there is a memory
hogging application that hasn't already been paged out.

* Change the calling convention of the device mmap entry point to
pass a vm_offset_t instead of an int for the offset allowing
devices with a larger memory map than (1<<32) to be supported
on the alpha (/dev/mem is one such).
These changes are required to allow the X server to mmap the various
I/O regions used for device port and memory access on the alpha.
file to a stream socket. sendfile(2) is similar to implementations in
HP-UX, Linux, and other systems, but the API is more extensive and
addresses many of the complaints that the Apache Group and others have
had with those other implementations. Thanks to Marc Slemko of the
Apache Group for helping me work out the best API for this.
Anyway, this has the "net" result of speeding up sends of files over
TCP/IP sockets by about 10X (that is to say, uses 1/10th of the CPU
cycles) when compared to a traditional read/write loop.

check that (v_rdev) device numbers in vnodes are not NODEV.
Removed a redundant `major(dev) < nblkdev' test instead of updating it.
Don't follow a garbage bdevsw pointer for attempts to swap on empty
regular files. This case currently can't happen. Swapping on regular
files is ifdefed out in swapon() and isn't attempted for empty files
in nfs_mountroot().
