layer, but it is read directly by the MI VM layer. This change introduces
pmap_page_is_write_mapped() in order to completely encapsulate all direct
access to PGA_WRITEABLE in the pmap layer.
Aesthetics aside, I am making this change because amd64 will likely begin
using an alternative method to track write mappings, and having
pmap_page_is_write_mapped() in place allows me to make such a change
without further modification to the MI VM layer.
As an added bonus, tidy up some nearby comments concerning page flags.

displayed using `mount -v'.
Ensure that buffers used for paging indicate the vnode from
which they are operating so that counts of paging I/O operations

This checkin only adds the setting of the mount point for the

v_writecount. Keep the amount of the virtual address space used by
the mappings in the new vm_object un_pager.vnp.writemappings
counter. The vnode v_writecount is incremented when writemappings gets
non-zero value, and decremented when writemappings is returned to
zero.
Writeable shared vnode-backed mappings are accounted for in vm_mmap(),
and vm_map_insert() is instructed to set MAP_ENTRY_VN_WRITECNT flag on
the created map entry. During deferred map entry deallocation,
vm_map_process_deferred() checks for MAP_ENTRY_VN_WRITECOUNT and
decrements writemappings for the vm object.
Now, the writeable mount cannot be demoted to read-only while
writeable shared mappings of the vnodes from the mount point
exist. Also, execve(2) fails for such files with ETXTBUSY, as it
should be.

rlimit RLIMIT_SWAP that limits the amount of swap that may be reserved
for the uid.
The accounting information (charge) is associated with either map entry,
or vm object backing the entry, assuming the object is the first one
in the shadow chain and entry does not require COW. Charge is moved
from entry to object on allocation of the object, e.g. during the mmap,
assuming the object is allocated, or on the first page fault on the
entry. It moves back to the entry on forks due to COW setup.
The per-entry granularity of accounting makes the charge process fair
for processes that change uid during lifetime, and decrements charge
for proper uid when region is unmapped.
The interface of vm_pager_allocate(9) is extended by adding struct ucred *,
that is used to charge appropriate uid when allocation if performed by
kernel, e.g. md(4).

The vnode_pager_lock function requests shared lock on the vnode backing
the OBJT_VNODE, and can be called when the current thread already holds
an exlcusive lock on the vnode. For instance, it happens when handling
page fault from the VOP_WRITE() uiomove that writes to the file, with
the faulted in page fetched from the vm object backed by the same file.
We then get the situation described above.
