back to the lever before r343030. For 64-bit machines reduce it slightly,

Provide a loader tunable to change vnode pager pbufs count. Document it.
o In vm_pager_bufferinit() create pbuf_zone and start accounting on how many
pbufs are we going to have set.
In various subsystems that are going to utilize pbufs create private zones
via call to pbuf_zsecond_create(). The latter calls uma_zsecond_create(),
and sets a limit on created zone. After startup preallocate pbufs according
to requirements of all pbuf zones.
Subsystems that used to have a private limit with old allocator now have
private pbuf zones: md(4), fusefs, NFS client, smbfs, VFS cluster, FFS,
swap, vnode pager.
The following subsystems use shared pbuf zone: cam(4), nvme(4), physio(9),
aio(4). They should have their private limits, but changing that is out of
scope of this commit.
o Fetch tunable value of kern.nswbuf from init_param2() and while here move
NSWBUF_MIN to opt_param.h and eliminate opt_swap.h, that was holding only
this option.
Default values aren't touched by this commit, but they probably should be
reviewed wrt to modern hardware.
This change removes a tight bottleneck from sendfile(2) operation, that
uses pbufs in vnode pager. Other pagers also would benefit from faster
allocation.

Only upgrade it to write mode if we need to clear dirty bits of the
partially valid page after EOF.
Suggested and reviewed by: alc
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation

If filesystem block size is less than the page size, it is possible
that the page-out run contains partially clean pages. E.g., the chunk
of the page might be bdwrite()-ed, or some thread performed bwrite()
on a buffer which references a chunk of the paged out page. As
result, the assertion added in r319975, which checked that all pages
in the run are dirty, does not hold on such filesystems.
One solution is to remove the assert, but it is undesirable, because
we do overwrite the valid on-disk content. I cannot provide a scenario
where such write would corrupt the file data, but I do not like it on
principle. Another, in my opinion proper, solution is to only write
parts of the pages still marked dirty. The patch implements this, it
skips clean blocks and only writes the dirty block runs.
Note that due to clustering, write one page might clean other pages in
the run, so the next write range must be calculated only after the
current range is written out.
More, due to a possible invalidation, and the fact that the object
lock is dropped and reacquired before the checks, it is possible that
the whole page-out pages run appears to consist of only clean pages.
For this reason, it is impossible to assert that there is some work
for the pageout method to do (i.e. assert that there is at least one
dirty page in the run). But such clearing can only occur due to
invalidation, and not due to a parallel write, because we own the
vnode lock exclusive.

Suppose that a file on NFS has partially filled last page, and this
page is dirty. NFS VOP_PAGEOUT() method only marks the the page clean
up to the block of the last written byte, leaving other blocks dirty.
Also any page which erronously exists in the vnode vm_object past EOF
is also left marked as dirty.
With the introduction of the buf-cache coherent pager, each pass of
syncer over the object with such page results in creation of B_DELWRI
buffer due to VOP_WRITE() call. This buffer is noted on next syncer
pass, which results e.g. a visible manifestation of shutdown never
finishing vnode sync. Note that before buf-cache coherency commit, a
dirty page might left never synced to server if a partial writes
occur.
Fix this by clearing dirty bits after EOF. Only blocks of the partial
page which are completely after EOF are marked clean, to avoid
possible user data loss.

The swap pager enqueues laundered pages near the head of the inactive queue
to avoid another trip through LRU before reclamation. This change adds
support for this behaviour to the vnode pager and makes use of it in UFS and
ext2fs. Some ioflag handling is consolidated into a common subroutine so
that this support can be easily extended to other filesystems which make use
of the buffer cache. No changes are needed for ZFS since its putpages
routine always undirties the pages before returning, and the laundry
thread requeues the pages appropriately in this case.

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.
