Introduce VFREE which indicates that vnode is on freelist.
Rename vholdrele() to vdrop().
Create vfree() and vbusy() to add/delete vnode from freelist.
Add vfree()/vbusy() to keep (v_holdcnt != 0 || v_usecount != 0)
vnodes off the freelist.
Generalize vhold()/v_holdcnt to mean "do not recycle".
Fix reassignbuf()s lack of use of vhold().
Use vhold() instead of checking v_cache_src list.
Remove vtouch(), the vnodes are always vget'ed soon enough
after for it to have any measuable effect.
Add sysctl debug.freevnodes to keep track of things.
Move cache_purge() up in getnewvnodes to avoid race.
Decrement v_usecount after VOP_INACTIVE(), put a vhold() on

should have used the promoted type (int) to match the old-style function

The correct fix may be to change the small types to u_int, to optimize

There are various options documented in i386/conf/LINT, there is more to
come over the next few days.
The kernel should run pretty much "as before" without the options to

There are a handful of known "loose ends" that need to be fixed, but
have been put off since the SMP kernel is in a moderately good condition

Have each process use the kernel stack and pcb in the kvm space. Since
the stacks are at a different address, we cannot copy the stack at fork()
and allow the child to return up through the function call tree to return
to user mode - create a new execution context and have the new process
begin executing from cpu_switch() and go to user mode directly.
In theory this should speed up fork a bit.
Context switch the tss_esp0 pointer in the common tss. This is a lot
simpler since than swithching the gdt[GPROC0_SEL].sd.sd_base pointer
to each process's tss since the esp0 pointer is a 32 bit pointer, and the
sd_base setting is split into three different bit sections at non-aligned
boundaries and requires a lot of twiddling to reset.

double map the UPAGES, this simplifies and should measuably speed up fork().
The following parts came from John Dyson:
Set PG_G on the UPAGES that are now in kernel context, and invalidate
them when swapping them out.
Move the upages object (upobj) from the vmspace to the proc structure.
Now that the UPAGES (pcb and kernel stack) are out of user space, make
rfork(..RFMEM..) do what was intended by sharing the vmspace
entirely via reference counting rather than simply inheriting the mappings.
The typo was detected once apon a time with the -Wunused compile option.
The result was that a block of code for implementing
madvise(.. MADV_SEQUENTIAL..) behavior was "dead" and unused, probably
negating the effect of activating the option.

we have a better chance of coalesing map entries when mixing

problem is still not "solved", but the situation makes more
