With r329882, in the absence of a free page shortage we would only take
len(PQ_INACTIVE)+len(PQ_LAUNDRY) into account when deciding whether to
aggressively scan PQ_ACTIVE. Previously we would also include the
number of free pages in this computation, ensuring that we wouldn't scan
PQ_ACTIVE with plenty of free memory available. The change in behaviour
was most noticeable immediately after booting, when PQ_INACTIVE and
PQ_LAUNDRY are nearly empty.

In my opinion, this protection is redundant and instead userspace

From the submitter description:
The process is forked transitioning a map entry to COW
Thread A writes to a page on the map entry, faults, updates the pmap to
writable at a new phys addr, and starts TLB invalidations...
Thread B acquires a lock, writes to a location on the new phys addr, and
releases the lock
Thread C acquires the lock, reads from the location on the old phys addr...
Thread A ...continues the TLB invalidations which are completed
Thread C ...reads from the location on the new phys addr, and releases
the lock
In this example Thread B and C [lock, use and unlock] properly and
neither own the lock at the same time. Thread A was writing somewhere
else on the page and so never had/needed the lock. Thread C sees a
location that is only ever read|modified under a lock change beneath
it while it is the lock owner.
To fix this, perform the two-stage update of the copied PTE. First,
the PTE is updated with the address of the new physical page with
copied content, but in read-only mode. The pmap locking and the page
busy state during PTE update and TLB invalidation IPIs ensure that any
writer to the page cannot upgrade the PTE to the writable state until
all CPUs updated their TLB to not cache old mapping. Then, after the
busy state of the page is lifted, the faults for write can proceed and
do not violate the consistency of the reads.
The change is done in vm_fault because most architectures do need IPIs
to invalidate remote TLBs. More, I think that hardware guarantees of
atomicity of the remote TLB invalidation are not enough to prevent the
inconsistent reads of non-atomic reads, like multi-word accesses
protected by a lock. So instead of modifying each pmap invalidation
code, I did it there.

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

mapping it is exiting. Then the reservation is broken, but the pages

size of UMA zone allocation is greater than page size. In this case zone
of zones can not use UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC, and we need to postpone switch
off of this zone from startup_alloc() until full launch of VM.
o Always supply number of VM zones to uma_startup_count(). On machines
with UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC ignore it completely, unless zsize goes over
a page. In the latter case account VM zones for number of allocations
from the zone of zones.
o Rewrite startup_alloc() so that it will immediately switch off from
itself any zone that is already capable of running real alloc.
In worst case scenario we may leak a single page here. See comment
in uma_startup_count().
o Hardcode call to uma_startup2() into vm_mem_init(). Otherwise some
extra SYSINITs, e.g. vm_page_init() may sneak in before.
o While here, remove uma_boot_pages_mtx. With recent changes to boot
pages calculation, we are guaranteed to use all of the boot_pages

o The zones of zones and zones of kegs have arbitrary alignment of 32,

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.

Enabling page alloc earlier allows us to dramatically reduce number of
boot pages required. What is more important number of zones becomes
consistent across different machines, as no MD allocations are done before
the BOOT_PAGEALLOC stage. Now only UMA internal zones actually need to use
startup_alloc(), however that may change, so vm_page_startup() provides
its need for early zones as argument.
o Introduce uma_startup_count() function, to avoid code duplication. The
functions calculates sizes of zones zone and kegs zone, and calculates how
many pages UMA will need to bootstrap.
It counts not only of zone structures, but also of kegs, slabs and hashes.
o Hide uma_startup_foo() declarations from public file.
o Provide several DIAGNOSTIC printfs on boot_pages usage.

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.
