This flag indicates that the page should be enqueued near the head of
the inactive queue, skipping the LRU queue. It is used when unwiring
pages from the buffer cache following direct I/O or after I/O when
POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE or _DONTNEED advice was specified, or when
sendfile(SF_NOCACHE) completes. For the direct I/O and sendfile cases
we only enqueue the page if we decide not to free it, typically because
it's mapped.
Pass "noreuse" through to vm_page_release_toq() so that we actually
honour the desired LRU policy for these scenarios.

In vm_page_busy_acquire(), load the object pointer using
atomic_load_ptr() as we do elsewhere. Per the comment, the object
identity must be consistent across sleeps.
In vm_page_grab_sleep(), pass the correct pindex to
_vm_page_busy_sleep(). The pindex is used to re-check the page's
identity before going to sleep. In particular, vm_page_grab_sleep() is
used in unlocked grab, so the object lock is not necessarily held when
verifying the page's identity, and the pindex may change if the page is
moved, or freed and re-allocated. I believe this can result in spurious
VM_PAGER_FAILs from vm_page_grab_valid_unlocked() or early termination
of vm_page_grab_pages_unlocked().
In vm_page_grab_pages(), pass the correct pindex to
vm_page_grab_sleep(). Otherwise I believe vm_page_grab_pages() will
effectively spin when attempting to busy a busy page after the first
index in the range.

It can useful for code outside the VM system to look up the NUMA domain
of a page backing a virtual or physical address, specifically when
creating NUMA-aware data structures. We have _vm_phys_domain() for
this, but the leading underscore implies that it's an internal function,
and vm_phys.h has dependencies on a number of other headers.
Rename vm_phys_domain() to vm_page_domain(), and _vm_phys_domain() to
vm_phys_domain(). Make the latter an inline function.
Add _vm_phys.h and define struct vm_phys_seg there so that it's easier
to use in other headers. Include it from vm_page.h so that
vm_page_domain() can be defined there.
Include machine/vmparam.h from _vm_phys.h since it depends directly on
some constants defined there.

In very high throughput workloads, the inactive scan can become overwhelmed
as you have many cores producing pages and a single core freeing. Since
Mark's introduction of batched pagequeue operations, we can now run multiple
inactive threads working on independent batches.
To avoid confusing the pid and other control algorithms, I (Jeff) do this in
a mpi-like fan out and collect model that is driven from the primary page
daemon. It decides whether the shortfall can be overcome with a single
thread and if not dispatches multiple threads and waits for their results.
The heuristic is based on timing the pageout activity and averaging a
pages-per-second variable which is exponentially decayed. This is visible in
sysctl and may be interesting for other purposes.
I (Jeff) have verified that this does indeed double our paging throughput
when used with two threads. With four we tend to run into other contention
problems. For now I would like to commit this infrastructure with only a
single thread enabled.
The number of worker threads per domain can be controlled with the
'vm.pageout_threads_per_domain' tunable.

Some recent work aims to remove the use of the page lock for
synchronizing updates to page queue state. This change adds a mechanism
to preserve the existing behaviour of lazily dequeuing wired pages,
which was previously synchronized using the page lock.
Handle this by setting PGA_DEQUEUE when a managed page's wire count
transitions from 0 to 1. When the page daemon encounters a page with a
flag in PGA_QUEUE_OP_MASK set, it creates a batch queue entry for that
page, but in so doing it does not modify the page itself and thus racing
with a concurrent free of the page is harmless. The flag is advisory;
the page daemon still checks for wirings after acquiring the object and
page xbusy locks.
vm_page_unwire_managed() now clears PGA_DEQUEUE on a 1->0 transition.
It must do this before dropping the reference to avoid a use-after-free
but also handles races with concurrent wirings to ensure that
PGA_DEQUEUE is not left unset on a wired page.

This is in preparation for eliminating the use of the vm_page lock for
protecting queue state operations.
Introduce the vm_page_pqstate_commit_*() functions. These functions act
as helpers around vm_page_astate_fcmpset() and are specialized for
specific types of operations. vm_page_pqstate_commit() wraps these
functions.
Convert a number of routines to use these new helpers. Use
vm_page_release_toq() in vm_page_unwire() and vm_page_release() to
atomically release a wiring reference and release the page into a queue.
This has the side effect that vm_page_unwire() will leave the page in
the active queue if it is already present there.
Convert the page queue scans to use the new helpers. Simplify
vm_pageout_reinsert_inactive(), which requeues pages that were found to
be busy during an inactive queue scan, to avoid duplicating the work of
vm_pqbatch_process_page(). In particular, if PGA_REQUEUE or
PGA_REQUEUE_HEAD is set, let that be handled during batch processing.
