Function vm_reserv_reclaim_contig breaks a reservation with enough
free space to satisfy an allocation request and returns the free space
to the buddy allocator. Change the function to allocate the request
memory from the reservation before breaking it, and return that memory
to the caller. That avoids a second call to the buddy allocator and
guarantees successful allocation after breaking the reservation, where
that success is not currently guaranteed.

The per-domain partpop queue is locked by the combination of the
per-domain lock and individual reservation mutexes.
vm_reserv_reclaim_contig() scans the queue looking for partially
populated reservations that can be reclaimed in order to satisfy the
caller's allocation.
During the scan, we drop the per-domain lock. At this point, the rvn
pointer may be invalidated. Take care to load rvn after re-acquiring
the per-domain lock.
While here, simplify the condition used to check whether a reservation
was dequeued while the per-domain lock was dropped.

It can useful for code outside the VM system to look up the NUMA domain
of a page backing a virtual or physical address, specifically when
creating NUMA-aware data structures. We have _vm_phys_domain() for
this, but the leading underscore implies that it's an internal function,
and vm_phys.h has dependencies on a number of other headers.
Rename vm_phys_domain() to vm_page_domain(), and _vm_phys_domain() to
vm_phys_domain(). Make the latter an inline function.
Add _vm_phys.h and define struct vm_phys_seg there so that it's easier
to use in other headers. Include it from vm_page.h so that
vm_page_domain() can be defined there.
Include machine/vmparam.h from _vm_phys.h since it depends directly on

On an Ampere Altra system, the physical memory is populated
sparsely within the physical address space, with only about 0.4%
of physical addresses backed by RAM in the range [0, last_pa].
This is causing the vm_reserv_array to be over-sized by a few
orders of magnitude, wasting roughly 5 GiB on a system with
256 GiB of RAM.
The sparse allocation of vm_reserv_array is controlled by defining
VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE, with the dense allocation still remaining for

We were not properly handling the case where the trylock of the

Introduce a marker reservation to implement precise scanning in

termination of the scan in rare situations. Use the marker's lock to
serialize scans of the partpop queue so that a global marker structure

We currently have the per-domain partially populated reservation queues
and the per-domain queue locks. Define a new per-domain padded
structure to contain both of them. This puts the queue fields and lock
in the same cache line and avoids the false sharing within the old queue
array.
Also fix field packing in the reservation structure. In many places we
assume that a domain index fits in 8 bits, so we can do the same there
as well. This reduces the size of the structure by 8 bytes.

power-of-two page block it frees, launching an unsuccessful search for
a buddy to pair up with each time. The only possible buddy-up mergers
are across the boundaries of the freed region, so change
vm_phys_free_contig simply to enqueue the freed interior blocks, via a
new function vm_phys_enqueue_contig, and then call vm_phys_free_pages
on the bounding blocks to create as big a cross-boundary block as
possible after buddy-merging.
The only callers of vm_phys_free_contig at the moment call it in
situations where merging blocks across the boundary is clearly
impossible, so just call vm_phys_enqueue_contig in those places and
avoid trying to buddy-up at all.
One beneficiary of this change is in breaking reservations. For the
case where memory is freed in breaking a reservation with only the
first and last pages allocated, the number of cycles consumed by the
operation drops about 11% with this change.

Corresponding VM_NFREEORDER and VM_LEVEL_0_ORDER symbols can be

If architecture does not define _MAXs, it is assumed that _MAX ==

Suppose that we have an object with a mapped superpage, and that all

cannot be freed until later, when they are unheld. In this situation,
the reservation code cannot clean psind, since no pages are freed, and
the page is freed and then reused with invalid psind.
