fragmented conditions currently just wakes up the pagedaemon. The
kmem arena is significantly smaller then the total available physical
memory, which means that there are loads where kmem arena space could
be exhausted, while there is a lot of pages available still. The
woken up pagedaemon sees vm_pages_needed != 0, verifies the condition
vm_paging_needed() which is false, clears the pass and returns back to
sleep, not calling neither uma_reclaim() nor lowmem handler.
To handle low kmem arena conditions, create additional pagedaemon
thread which calls uma_reclaim() directly. The thread sleeps on the
dedicated channel and kmem_reclaim() wakes the thread in addition to
the pagedaemon.

Usually, this is most useful when the OOM condition is due to mismanagement
of memory, on a system where the applications in question don't respond well
to being killed.
In theory, if the system is properly managed, it shouldn't be possible to
hit this condition. If it does, the panic can be more desirable for some
users (since it can be a good means of finding the root cause) rather than
killing the largest process and continuing on its merry way.

Prior to this change we triggered ARC reclaim when kmem usage passed 3/4
of the total available, as indicated by vmem_size(kmem_arena, VMEM_ALLOC).
This could lead large amounts of unused RAM e.g. on a 192GB machine with
ARC the only major RAM consumer, 40GB of RAM would remain unused.
The old method has also been seen to result in extreme RAM usage under
certain loads, causing poor performance and stalls.
We now trigger ARC reclaim when the number of free pages drops below the

"vm_paging_target() > 0" was a reasonable way of determining if the
inactive queue scan met its target. However, now that other threads
can be allocating pages while the inactive queue scan is running, it's
an unreliable method. The effect of it being unreliable is that we
can start swapping out processes when we didn't intend to.
This issue has existed since the kernel was multithreaded, but the
changes to the inactive queue target in 10.0-RELEASE have made its
effects visible.
This change introduces a more direct method for determining if the
inactive queue scan met its target that is not affected by the actions

periodically update the reference status of the active pages. This function
was called, instead of vm_pageout_scan(), when memory was not scarce. The
objective was to provide up to date reference status for active pages in
case memory did become scarce and active pages needed to be deactivated.
The active page queue scan performed by vm_pageout_page_stats() was
virtually identical to that performed by vm_pageout_scan(), and so r254304
eliminated vm_pageout_page_stats(). Instead, vm_pageout_scan() is
called with the parameter "pass" set to zero. The intention was that when
pass is zero, vm_pageout_scan() would only scan the active queue. However,
the variable page_shortage can still be greater than zero when memory is not
scarce and vm_pageout_scan() is called with pass equal to zero.
Consequently, the inactive queue may be scanned and dirty pages laundered
even though that was not intended by r254304. This revision fixes that.

The old VPO_WANTED mechanism becames the hard-path for this new lock

The vm_object lock becames an interlock for this functionality:
it can be held in both read or write mode.
However, if the vm_object lock is held in read mode while acquiring

assumption on the busy state unless it is also busying it.
Also:

The tie between NUMA domain and pagedaemon thread/pagequeue split is
rather arbitrary, the multithreaded daemon could be allowed for the
single-domain machines, or one domain might be split into several page
domains, to further increase concurrency.
Right now, each pagedaemon thread tries to reach the global target,
precalculated at the start of the pass. This is not optimal, since it
could cause excessive page deactivation and freeing. The code should
be changed to re-check the global page deficit state in the loop after
some number of iterations.

This removes the often encountered deadlock, where OOM continously
selects the same victim process, that sleeps uninterruptibly waiting
for a page. The killed process may still sleep if page cannot be
obtained immediately, but testing has shown that system has much
higher chance to survive in OOM situation with the patch.

reference count, and decrements it on dereference. If referenced object
is deallocated, object type is reset to OBJT_DEAD. Consequently, all
vnode references that are owned by object references are never released.
vunref() the vnode in vm object deallocation code for OBJT_VNODE
appropriate number of times to prevent leak.
Add an assertion to the vm_pageout() to make sure that we never get
reference on the vnode but then do not execute code to release it.

a device pager (OBJT_DEVICE) object in that it uses fictitious pages to
provide aliases to other memory addresses. The primary difference is that
it uses an sglist(9) to determine the physical addresses for a given offset
into the object instead of invoking the d_mmap() method in a device driver.

the page's dirty and valid masks in order to determine which parts of a
page are dirty and valid.
Eliminate an unnecessary #include.
rather than unconditionally making partially dirty pages fully dirty, only
make partially dirty pages fully dirty if the pmap says that the page has
been modified.
(This change is also a small optimization. It eliminate an unnecessary call
to pmap_is_modified() on pages that are mapped read only.)

the kernel. This is a substantial reduction in locking cost for these
fields and was made possible by recent changes to threading support.
