Now, vm_page_busy_sleep() expects the page's object to be locked.
vm_object_unwire() does some unusual lazy locking of the object chain
and keeps objects locked until a busy page is encountered or the loop
terminates. When a busy page is encountered, rather than unlocking all
but the "bottom-level" object, we must instead skip the object to which

There are several mechanisms by which a vm_page reference is held,
preventing the page from being freed back to the page allocator. In
particular, holding the page's object lock is sufficient to prevent the
page from being freed; holding the busy lock or a wiring is sufficent as
well. These references are protected by the page lock, which must
therefore be acquired for many per-page operations. This results in
false sharing since the page locks are external to the vm_page
structures themselves and each lock protects multiple structures.
Transition to using an atomically updated per-page reference counter.
The object's reference is counted using a flag bit in the counter. A
second flag bit is used to atomically block new references via
pmap_extract_and_hold() while removing managed mappings of a page.
Thus, the reference count of a page is guaranteed not to increase if the
page is unbusied, unmapped, and the object's write lock is held. As
a consequence of this, the page lock no longer protects a page's
identity; operations which move pages between objects are now
synchronized solely by the objects' locks.
The vm_page_wire() and vm_page_unwire() KPIs are changed. The former
requires that either the object lock or the busy lock is held. The
latter no longer has a return value and may free the page if it releases
the last reference to that page. vm_page_unwire_noq() behaves the same
as before; the caller is responsible for checking its return value and
freeing or enqueuing the page as appropriate. vm_page_wire_mapped() is
introduced for use in pmap_extract_and_hold(). It fails if the page is
concurrently being unmapped, typically triggering a fallback to the
fault handler. vm_page_wire() no longer requires the page lock and
vm_page_unwire() now internally acquires the page lock when releasing
the last wiring of a page (since the page lock still protects a page's
queue state). In particular, synchronization details are no longer
leaked into the caller.
The change excises the page lock from several frequently executed code
paths. In particular, vm_object_terminate() no longer bounces between
page locks as it releases an object's pages, and direct I/O and
sendfile(SF_NOCACHE) completions no longer require the page lock. In
these latter cases we now get linear scalability in the common scenario
where different threads are operating on different files.
__FreeBSD_version is bumped. The DRM ports have been updated to
accomodate the KPI changes.

The hold_count and wire_count fields of struct vm_page are separate
reference counters with similar semantics. The remaining essential
differences are that holds are not counted as a reference with respect
to LRU, and holds have an implicit free-on-last unhold semantic whereas
vm_page_unwire() callers must explicitly determine whether to free the
page once the last reference to the page is released.
This change removes the KPIs which directly manipulate hold_count.
Functions such as vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() now return wired pages
instead. Since r328977 the overhead of maintaining LRU for wired pages
is lower, and in many cases vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() callers would
swap holds for wirings on the returned pages anyway, so with this change

The change removes VV_TEXT, replacing it with the condition
v_writecount <= -1, and puts v_writecount under the vnode interlock.
Each text reference decrements v_writecount. To clear the text
reference when the segment is unmapped, it is recorded in the
vm_map_entry backed by the text file as MAP_ENTRY_VN_TEXT flag, and
v_writecount is incremented on the map entry removal
The operations like VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT() and VOP_SET_TEXT() check that
v_writecount does not contradict the desired change. vn_writecheck()
is now racy and its use was eliminated everywhere except access.
Atomic check for writeability and increment of v_writecount is
performed by the VOP. vn_truncate() now increments v_writecount
around VOP_SETATTR() call, lack of which is arguably a bug on its own.
nullfs bypasses v_writecount to the lower vnode always, so nullfs
vnode has its own v_writecount correct, and lower vnode gets all
references, since object->handle is always lower vnode.
On the text vnode' vm object dealloc, the v_writecount value is reset

Previously, wiring a page would cause it to be removed from its page
queue. In the common case, unwiring causes it to be enqueued at the tail
of that page queue. This change modifies vm_page_wire() to not dequeue
the page, thus avoiding the highly contended page queue locks. Instead,
vm_page_unwire() takes care of requeuing the page as a single operation,
and the page daemon dequeues wired pages as they are encountered during
a queue scan to avoid needlessly revisiting them later. For pages in
PQ_ACTIVE we do even better, since a requeue is unnecessary.
The change improves scalability for some common workloads. For instance,
threads wiring pages into the buffer cache no longer need to modify
global page queues, and unwiring is usually done by the bufspace thread,
so concurrency is not as much of an issue. As another example, many
sysctl handlers wire the output buffer to avoid faults on copyout, and
since the buffer is likely to be in PQ_ACTIVE, we now entirely avoid
modifying the page queue in this case.
The change also adds a block comment describing some properties of
struct vm_page's reference counters, and the busy lock.

It is possible, for complex fork()/collapse situations, to have
sibling address spaces to partially share shadow chains. If one
sibling performs wiring, it can happen that a transient page, invalid
and busy, is installed into a shadow object which is visible to other
sibling for the duration of vm_fault_hold(). When the backing object
contains the valid page, and the wiring is performed on read-only
entry, the transient page is eventually removed.
But the sibling which observed the transient page might perform the
unwire, executing vm_object_unwire(). There, the first page found in
the shadow chain is considered as the page that was wired for the
mapping. It is really the page below it which is wired. So we unwire
the wrong page, either triggering the asserts of breaking the page'
wire counter.
As the fix, wait for the busy state to finish if we find such page
during unwire, and restart the shadow chain walk after the sleep.

pages, specificially, dirty pages that have passed once through the inactive
queue. A new, dedicated thread is responsible for both deciding when to
launder pages and actually laundering them. The new policy uses the
relative sizes of the inactive and laundry queues to determine whether to
launder pages at a given point in time. In general, this leads to more
intelligent swapping behavior, since the laundry thread will avoid pageouts
when the marginal benefit of doing so is low. Previously, without a
dedicated queue for dirty pages, the page daemon didn't have the information
to determine whether pageout provides any benefit to the system. Thus, the
previous policy often resulted in small but steadily increasing amounts of
swap usage when the system is under memory pressure, even when the inactive
queue consisted mostly of clean pages. This change addresses that issue,
and also paves the way for some future virtual memory system improvements by
removing the last source of object-cached clean pages, i.e., PG_CACHE pages.
The new laundry thread sleeps while waiting for a request from the page
daemon thread(s). A request is raised by setting the variable
vm_laundry_request and waking the laundry thread. We request launderings
for two reasons: to try and balance the inactive and laundry queue sizes
("background laundering"), and to quickly make up for a shortage of free
pages and clean inactive pages ("shortfall laundering"). When background
laundering is requested, the laundry thread computes the number of page
daemon wakeups that have taken place since the last laundering. If this
number is large enough relative to the ratio of the laundry and (global)
inactive queue sizes, we will launder vm_background_launder_target pages at
vm_background_launder_rate KB/s. Otherwise, the laundry thread goes back
to sleep without doing any work. When scanning the laundry queue during
background laundering, reactivated pages are counted towards the laundry
thread's target.
In contrast, shortfall laundering is requested when an inactive queue scan
fails to meet its target. In this case, the laundry thread attempts to
launder enough pages to meet v_free_target within 0.5s, which is the
inactive queue scan period.
A laundry request can be latched while another is currently being
serviced. In particular, a shortfall request will immediately preempt a
background laundering.
This change also redefines the meaning of vm_cnt.v_reactivated and removes
the functions vm_page_cache() and vm_page_try_to_cache(). The new meaning
of vm_cnt.v_reactivated now better reflects its name. It represents the
number of inactive or laundry pages that are returned to the active queue
on account of a reference.

executed the load of the busy_lock word in vm_page_busy_sleep(). If it
happens that there is still no waiters recorded for the busy state,
the xbusy owner did not acquired the page lock, so it proceeded.
More, suppose that some other thread happen to share-busy the page
after xbusy state was relinquished but before the m->busy_lock is read
in vm_page_busy_sleep(). Again, that thread only needs vm_object lock
to proceed. Then, vm_page_busy_sleep() reads busy_lock value equal to
the VPB_SHARERS_WORD(1).
In this case, all tests in vm_page_busy_sleep(9) pass and we are going
to sleep, despite the page being share-busied.
Update check for m->busy_lock == VPB_UNBUSIED in vm_page_busy_sleep(9)
to also accept shared-busy state if we only wait for the xbusy state to
pass.
Merge sequential if()s with the same 'then' clause in
vm_page_busy_sleep().
Note that the current code does not share-busy pages from parallel
threads, the only way to have more that one sbusy owner is right now

The vnode_destroy_object(), when calling into vm_object_terminate(),

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.

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.

of POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED so that it causes the backing pages to be moved to
the head of the inactive queue instead of being cached.
This affects the implementation of POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE as well, since it
works by applying POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED to file ranges after they have been
read or written. At that point the corresponding buffers may still be
dirty, so the previous implementation would coalesce successive ranges and
apply POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED to the result, ensuring that pages backing the
dirty buffers would eventually be cached. To preserve this behaviour in an
efficient manner, this change adds a new buf flag, B_NOREUSE, which causes
the pages backing a VMIO buf to be placed at the head of the inactive queue
when the buf is released. POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE then works by setting this
flag in bufs that underlie the specified range.

Assume that a vnode is mapped shared and mlocked(), and then the vnode
is truncated, or truncated and then again extended past the mapping
point EOF. Truncation removes the pages past the truncation point,
and if pages are later created at this range, they are not properly
mapped into the mlocked region, and their wiring count is wrong.
The revert leaves the invalidated but wired pages on the object queue,
which means that the pages are found by vm_object_unwire() when the
mapped range is munlock()ed, and reused by the buffer cache when the
vnode is extended again.
The changes in r173708 were required since then vm_map_unwire() looked
at the page tables to find the page to unwire. This is no longer
needed with the vm_object_unwire() introduction, which follows the
objects shadow chain.
Also eliminate OBJPR_NOTWIRED flag for vm_object_page_remove(), which
is now redundand, we do not remove wired pages.

underlying physical pages are mapped by the pmap. If, for example, the
application has performed an mprotect(..., PROT_NONE) on any part of the
wired region, then those pages will no longer be mapped by the pmap.
So, using the pmap to lookup the wired pages in order to unwire them
doesn't always work, and when it doesn't work wired pages are leaked.
To avoid the leak, introduce and use a new function vm_object_unwire()
that locates the wired pages by traversing the object and its backing
objects.
At the same time, switch from using pmap_change_wiring() to the recently
introduced function pmap_unwire() for unwiring the region's mappings.
pmap_unwire() is faster, because it operates a range of virtual addresses
rather than a single virtual page at a time. Moreover, by operating on
a range, it is superpage friendly. It doesn't waste time performing
unnecessary demotions.

The old VPO_WANTED mechanism becames the hard-path for this new lock
and it becomes per-page rather than per-object.
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
or releasing the busy state, the thread owner cannot make any
assumption on the busy state unless it is also busying it.
Also:
- Add a new flag to directly shared busy pages while vm_page_alloc
