There are 3 counters modified all the time in this structure - one for
keeping the structure alive, one for preventing unmount and one for
tracking active writers. Exact values of these counters are very rarely
needed, which makes them a prime candidate for conversion to a per-cpu

There are several mechanisms by which a vm_page reference is held,
preventing the page from being freed back to the page allocator. In
particular, holding the page's object lock is sufficient to prevent the
page from being freed; holding the busy lock or a wiring is sufficent as
well. These references are protected by the page lock, which must
therefore be acquired for many per-page operations. This results in
false sharing since the page locks are external to the vm_page
structures themselves and each lock protects multiple structures.
Transition to using an atomically updated per-page reference counter.
The object's reference is counted using a flag bit in the counter. A
second flag bit is used to atomically block new references via
pmap_extract_and_hold() while removing managed mappings of a page.
Thus, the reference count of a page is guaranteed not to increase if the
page is unbusied, unmapped, and the object's write lock is held. As
a consequence of this, the page lock no longer protects a page's
identity; operations which move pages between objects are now
synchronized solely by the objects' locks.
The vm_page_wire() and vm_page_unwire() KPIs are changed. The former
requires that either the object lock or the busy lock is held. The
latter no longer has a return value and may free the page if it releases
the last reference to that page. vm_page_unwire_noq() behaves the same
as before; the caller is responsible for checking its return value and
freeing or enqueuing the page as appropriate. vm_page_wire_mapped() is
introduced for use in pmap_extract_and_hold(). It fails if the page is
concurrently being unmapped, typically triggering a fallback to the
fault handler. vm_page_wire() no longer requires the page lock and
vm_page_unwire() now internally acquires the page lock when releasing
the last wiring of a page (since the page lock still protects a page's
queue state). In particular, synchronization details are no longer
leaked into the caller.
The change excises the page lock from several frequently executed code
paths. In particular, vm_object_terminate() no longer bounces between
page locks as it releases an object's pages, and direct I/O and
sendfile(SF_NOCACHE) completions no longer require the page lock. In
these latter cases we now get linear scalability in the common scenario
where different threads are operating on different files.
__FreeBSD_version is bumped. The DRM ports have been updated to
accomodate the KPI changes.

Current implementation of vnode_create_vobject() and
vnode_destroy_vobject() is written so that it prepared to handle the
vm object destruction for live vnode. Practically, no filesystems use
this, except for some remnants that were present in UFS till today.
One of the consequences of that model is that each filesystem must
call vnode_destroy_vobject() in VOP_RECLAIM() or earlier, as result
all of them get rid of the v_object in reclaim.
Move the call to vnode_destroy_vobject() to vgonel() before
VOP_RECLAIM(). This makes v_object stable: either the object is NULL,
or it is valid vm object till the vnode reclamation. Remove code from
vnode_create_vobject() to handle races with the parallel destruction.

Suppose that a binary was executed from tmpfs mount, and the text
vnode was reclaimed while the binary was still running. It is
possible during even the normal operations since tmpfs vnode'
vm_object has swap type, and no references on the vnode is held. Also
assume that the text vnode was revived for some reason. Then, on the
process exit or exec, unmapping of the text mapping tries to remove
the text reference from the vnode, but since it went from
recycle/instantiation cycle, there is no reference kept, and assertion
in VOP_UNSET_TEXT_CHECKED() triggers.
Fix this by keeping a use reference on the tmpfs vnode for each exec
reference. This prevents the vnode reclamation while executable map
entry is active.
Do it by adding per-mount flag MNTK_TEXT_REFS that directs
vop_stdset_text() to add use ref on first vnode text use, and
per-vnode VI_TEXT_REF flag, to record the need on unref in
vop_stdunset_text() on last vnode text use going away. Set
MNTK_TEXT_REFS for tmpfs mounts.

In particular:
- suspend the mount around vflush() to avoid new writes come after the
vnode is processed;
- flush pending metadata updates (mostly node times);
- remap all rw mappings of files from the mount into ro.
It is not clear to me how to handle writeable mappings on rw->ro for
tmpfs best. Other filesystems, which use vnode vm object, call
vgone() on vnodes with writers, which sets the vm object type to
OBJT_DEAD, and keep the resident pages and installed ptes as is. In
particular, the existing mappings continue to work as far as
application only accesses resident pages, but changes are not flushed
to file.
For tmpfs the vm object of VREG vnodes also serves as the data pages
container, giving single copy of the mapped pages, so it cannot be set
to OBJT_DEAD. Alternatives for making rw mappings ro could be either
invalidating them at all, or marking as CoW.

On the one hand, FIFOs should respect other variables not supported by
the fifofs vnode operation (such as _PC_NAME_MAX, _PC_LINK_MAX, etc.).
These values are fs-specific and must come from a fs-specific method.
On the other hand, filesystems that support FIFOs are required to
support _PC_PIPE_BUF on directory vnodes that can contain FIFOs.
Given this latter requirement, once the fs-specific VOP_PATHCONF
method supports _PC_PIPE_BUF for directories, it is also suitable for
FIFOs permitting a single VOP_PATHCONF method to be used for both
FIFOs and non-FIFOs.
To that end, retire all of the FIFO-specific pathconf methods from
filesystems and change FIFO-specific vnode operation switches to use
the existing fs-specific VOP_PATHCONF method. For fifofs, set it's
VOP_PATHCONF to VOP_PANIC since it should no longer be used.
While here, move _PC_PIPE_BUF handling out of vop_stdpathconf() so that
only filesystems supporting FIFOs will report a value. In addition,
only report a valid _PC_PIPE_BUF for directories and FIFOs.

This simplifies NUMA allocation because the domain will be known at wait

A wait primitive is supplied for uma zones for similar reasons. This

sleeps that may be satisfied without new pages.

On dotdot lookup and fhtovp operations, it is possible for the file
represented by tmpfs node to be removed after the thread calculated
the pointer. In this case, tmpfs_alloc_vp() accesses freed memory.
Introduce the reference count on the nodes. The allnodes list from
tmpfs mount owns 1 reference, and threads performing unlocked
operations on the node, add one transient reference. Similarly, since
struct tmpfs_mount maintains the list where nodes are enlisted,
refcount it by one reference from struct mount and one reference from
each node on the list. Both nodes and tmpfs_mounts are removed when
refcount goes to zero.
Note that this means that nodes and tmpfs_mounts might survive some
time after the node is deleted or tmpfs_unmount() finished. The
tmpfs_alloc_vp() in these cases returns error either due to node
removal (tn_nlinks == 0) or because of insmntque1(9) error.
