in 4.2-REL which I ripped out in -stable and -current when implementing the
low-memory handling solution. However, maxlaunder turns out to be the saving
grace in certain very heavily loaded systems (e.g. newsreader box). The new
algorithm limits the number of pages laundered in the first pageout daemon
pass. If that is not sufficient then suceessive will be run without any
limit.
Write I/O is now pipelined using two sysctls, vfs.lorunningspace and
vfs.hirunningspace. This prevents excessive buffered writes in the
disk queues which cause long (multi-second) delays for reads. It leads
to more stable (less jerky) and generally faster I/O streaming to disk
by allowing required read ops (e.g. for indirect blocks and such) to occur
without interrupting the write stream, amoung other things.
NOTE: eventually, filesystem write I/O pipelining needs to be done on a
per-device basis. At the moment it is globalized.
The fix works by reverting the ordering of free memory so that the
chances of contig_malloc() succeeding increases.

cases with file fragments and read-write mmap's can lead to a situation
where a VM page has odd dirty bits, e.g. 0xFC - due to being dirtied by
an mmap and only the fragment (representing a non-page-aligned end of

guarentees consistent m->dirty for the file EOF case is being

Backout the previous delta (rev 1.4), it didn't make any difference.
If the requested handle is NULL then don't add it to the list of
objects, to be found by handle.
The problem is that when asking for a NULL handle you are implying
you want a new object. Because objects with NULL handles were
being added to the list, any further requests for phys backed
objects with NULL handles would return a reference to the initial
NULL handle object after finding it on the list.
Basically one couldn't have more than one phys backed object without
a handle in the entire system without this fix. If you did more
than one shared memory allocation using the phys pager it would
give you your initial allocation again.
Removed most of the hacks that were trying to deal with low-memory
situations prior to now.
The new code is based on the concept that I/O must be able to function in
a low memory situation. All major modules related to I/O (except
networking) have been adjusted to allow allocation out of the system
reserve memory pool. These modules now detect a low memory situation but
rather then block they instead continue to operate, then return resources
to the memory pool instead of cache them or leave them wired.
Code has been added to stall in a low-memory situation prior to a vnode
being locked.
Thus situations where a process blocks in a low-memory condition while
holding a locked vnode have been reduced to near nothing. Not only will
I/O continue to operate, but many prior deadlock conditions simply no
longer exist.
Implement a number of VFS/BIO fixes
(found by Ian): in biodone(), bogus-page replacement code, the loop
was not properly incrementing loop variables prior to a continue
statement. We do not believe this code can be hit anyway but we
aren't taking any chances. We'll turn the whole section into a
panic (as it already is in brelse()) after the release is rolled.
In biodone(), the foff calculation was incorrectly
clamped to the iosize, causing the wrong foff to be calculated
for pages in the case of an I/O error or biodone() called without
initiating I/O. The problem always caused a panic before. Now it
doesn't. The problem is mainly an issue with NFS.
Fixed casts for ~PAGE_MASK. This code worked properly before only
because the calculations use signed arithmatic. Better to properly
extend PAGE_MASK first before inverting it for the 64 bit masking
op.
In brelse(), the bogus_page fixup code was improperly throwing
away the original contents of 'm' when it did the j-loop to
fix the bogus pages. The result was that it would potentially
invalidate parts of the *WRONG* page(!), leading to corruption.
There may still be cases where a background bitmap write is
being duplicated, causing potential corruption. We have identified
a potentially serious bug related to this but the fix is still TBD.
So instead this patch contains a KASSERT to detect the problem
and panic the machine rather then continue to corrupt the filesystem.
The problem does not occur very often.. it is very hard to
reproduce, and it may or may not be the cause of the corruption
people have reported.

structions that shadow each other in a 1:1 fashion that we often went to

This happens to save 4 bytes of physical memory for each page in the

Eliminate the use of the phys_avail[] array to determine if a page is

Things like device_pager set it because they create vm_page_t's on the
fly that do not have pv_entries. This makes it easier to "unmanage" a
page of physical memory (this will be taken advantage of in subsequent
