revision 1.55, the address parameter to vnode_pager_addr() was changed
from an unsigned 32-bit quantity to a signed 64-bit quantity. However,
an out-of-range check on the address was not updated. Consequently,
memory-mapped I/O on files greater than 2GB could cause a kernel panic.
Since the address is now a signed 64-bit quantity, the problem resolution
is simply to remove a cast.

B_CACHE), when we really want it to stay clear after the write

returns bogus values for requests beyond the file EOF rather then returning

would sometimes prevent a dirty page from being cleaned, even when synced,
resulting in the dirty page being re-flushed to disk every 30-60 seconds or
so, forever. The problem is that when the filesystem flushes a page to
its backing file it typically does not clear dirty bits representing areas
of the page that are beyond the file EOF. If the file is also mmap()'d and
a fault is taken, vm_fault (properly, is required to) set the vm_page_t->dirty
bits to VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL. This combination could leave us with an uncleanable,
unfreeable page.
The solution is to have the vnode_pager detect the edge case and manually
clear the dirty bits representing areas beyond the file EOF. The filesystem
does the rest and the page comes up clean after the write completes.

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 gating of system calls that cause modifications to the underlying
filesystem. The gating can be enabled by any filesystem that needs
to consistently suspend operations by adding the vop_stdgetwritemount
to their set of vnops. Once gating is enabled, the function
vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a filesystem,
allows any filesystem modifying system calls already in progress
to complete, then sync's the filesystem to disk and returns. The
function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to
begin again. Gating is not added by default for all filesystems as
for SMP systems it adds two extra locks to such critical kernel
paths as the write system call. Thus, gating should only be added
as needed.

to various pmap_*() functions instead of looking up the physical address
and passing that. In many cases, the first thing the pmap code was doing
was going to a lot of trouble to get back the original vm_page_t, or
it's shadow pv_table entry.
Inspired by: John Dyson's 1998 patches.
Also:
Eliminate pv_table as a seperate thing and build it into a machine
dependent part of vm_page_t. This eliminates having a seperate set of
structions that shadow each other in a 1:1 fashion that we often went to
a lot of trouble to translate from one to the other. (see above)
This happens to save 4 bytes of physical memory for each page in the
system. (8 bytes on the Alpha).
Eliminate the use of the phys_avail[] array to determine if a page is
managed (ie: it has pv_entries etc). Store this information in a flag.
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
commits).
Add a function to add a new page to the freelist. This could be used
for reclaiming the previously wasted pages left over from preloaded
loader(8) files.
