(2) to indicate whether a wakeup call has been sent to the page daemon.
The trouble is that a single flag cannot really serve both purposes, because
we have two distinct targets for when to wakeup threads waiting for free
pages versus when the page daemon has completed its work. In particular,
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.

Add a pair of bus methods that can be used to "map" resources for direct
CPU access using bus_space(9). bus_map_resource() creates a mapping and
bus_unmap_resource() releases a previously created mapping. Mappings are
described by 'struct resource_map' object. Pointers to these objects can
be passed as the first argument to the bus_space wrapper API used for bus
resources.
Drivers that wish to map all of a resource using default settings
(for example, using uncacheable memory attributes) do not need to change.
However, drivers that wish to use non-default settings can now do so
without jumping through hoops.
First, an RF_UNMAPPED flag is added to request that a resource is not
implicitly mapped with the default settings when it is activated. This
permits other activation steps (such as enabling I/O or memory decoding
in a device's PCI command register) to be taken without creating a
mapping. Right now the AGP drivers don't set RF_ACTIVE to avoid using
up a large amount of KVA to map the AGP aperture on 32-bit platforms.
Once RF_UNMAPPED is supported on all platforms that support AGP this
can be changed to using RF_UNMAPPED with RF_ACTIVE instead.
Second, bus_map_resource accepts an optional structure that defines
additional settings for a given mapping.
For example, a driver can now request to map only a subset of a resource
instead of the entire range. The AGP driver could also use this to only
map the first page of the aperture (IIRC, it calls pmap_mapdev() directly
to map the first page currently). I will also eventually change the
PCI-PCI bridge driver to request mappings of the subset of the I/O window
resource on its parent side to create mappings for child devices rather
than passing child resources directly up to nexus to be mapped. This
also permits bridges that do address translation to request suitable
mappings from a resource on the "upper" side of the bus when mapping
resources on the "lower" side of the bus.
Another attribute that can be specified is an alternate memory attribute
for memory-mapped resources. This can be used to request a
Write-Combining mapping of a PCI BAR in an MI fashion. (Currently the
drivers that do this call pmap_change_attr() directly for x86 only.)
Note that this commit only adds the MI framework. Each platform needs
to add support for handling RF_UNMAPPED and thew new
bus_map/unmap_resource methods. Generally speaking, any drivers that
are calling rman_set_bustag() and rman_set_bushandle() need to be
updated.

intention of the POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1TM-2008/Cor 1-2013.
A robust mutex is guaranteed to be cleared by the system upon either
thread or process owner termination while the mutex is held. The next
mutex locker is then notified about inconsistent mutex state and can
execute (or abandon) corrective actions.
The patch mostly consists of small changes here and there, adding
neccessary checks for the inconsistent and abandoned conditions into
existing paths. Additionally, the thread exit handler was extended to
iterate over the userspace-maintained list of owned robust mutexes,
unlocking and marking as terminated each of them.
The list of owned robust mutexes cannot be maintained atomically
synchronous with the mutex lock state (it is possible in kernel, but
is too expensive). Instead, for the duration of lock or unlock
operation, the current mutex is remembered in a special slot that is
also checked by the kernel at thread termination.
Kernel must be aware about the per-thread location of the heads of
robust mutex lists and the current active mutex slot. When a thread
touches a robust mutex for the first time, a new umtx op syscall is
issued which informs about location of lists heads.
The umtx sleep queues for PP and PI mutexes are split between
non-robust and robust.
Somewhat unrelated changes in the patch:
1. Style.
2. The fix for proper tdfind() call use in umtxq_sleep_pi() for shared
pi mutexes.
3. Removal of the userspace struct pthread_mutex m_owner field.
4. The sysctl kern.ipc.umtx_vnode_persistent is added, which controls
the lifetime of the shared mutex associated with a vnode' page.

exhausted.
It is possible for a bug in the code (or, theoretically, even unusual
network conditions) to exhaust all possible mbufs or mbuf clusters.
When this occurs, things can grind to a halt fairly quickly. However,
we currently do not call mb_reclaim() unless the entire system is
experiencing a low-memory condition.
While it is best to try to prevent exhaustion of one of the mbuf zones,
it would also be useful to have a mechanism to attempt to recover from
these situations by freeing "expendable" mbufs.
This patch makes two changes:
a) The patch adds a generic API to the UMA zone allocator to set a
function that should be called when an allocation fails because the
zone limit has been reached. Because of the way this function can be
called, it really should do minimal work.
b) The patch uses this API to try to free mbufs when an allocation
fails from one of the mbuf zones because the zone limit has been
reached. The function schedules a callout to run mb_reclaim().

approach of scanning the inactive and inactive queues, converting clean
pages into PG_CACHED pages and laundering dirty pages. In contrast, the
new mechanism does not use PG_CACHED pages nor does it trigger a large
number of I/O operations.
2. on 32-bit MIPS processors, uma_small_alloc() and the pmap can't find

minimize fragmentation of the guest physical address space.

o With new KPI consumers can request contiguous ranges of pages, and
unlike before, all pages will be kept busied on return, like it was
done before with the 'reqpage' only. Now the reqpage goes away. With
new interface it is easier to implement code protected from race
conditions.
Such arrayed requests for now should be preceeded by a call to
vm_pager_haspage() to make sure that request is possible. This
could be improved later, making vm_pager_haspage() obsolete.
Strenghtening the promises on the business of the array of pages
allows us to remove such hacks as swp_pager_free_nrpage() and
vm_pager_free_nonreq().
o New KPI accepts two integer pointers that may optionally point at
values for read ahead and read behind, that a pager may do, if it
can. These pages are completely owned by pager, and not controlled
by the caller.
This shifts the UFS-specific readahead logic from vm_fault.c, which
should be file system agnostic, into vnode_pager.c. It also removes
one VOP_BMAP() request per hard fault.
