This was introduced in r326329 and explains the crashes mentioned in
the commit log message for r339934. In particular, on INVARIANTS
kernels, UMA trashing causes the loop to exit early, leaving swap
blocks behind when they should have been freed. After r336984 this
became more problematic since new anonymous mappings were more
likely to reuse swapped-out subranges of existing VM objects, so faults
would trigger pageins of freed memory rather than returning zeroed
pages.

If fault started before vmspace_fork() locked the map, and then during
fork, vm_map_copy_entry()->vm_object_split() is executed, it is
possible that the fault instantiate the page into the original object
when the page was already copied into the new object (see
vm_map_split() for the orig/new objects terminology). This can happen
if split found a busy page (e.g. from the fault) and slept dropping
the objects lock, which allows the swap pager to instantiate
read-behind pages for the fault. Then the restart of the scan can see
a page in the scanned range, where it was already copied to the upper
object.
Fix it by instantiating the read-ahead pages before
swap_pager_getpages() method drops the lock to allocate pbuf. The
object scan would see the whole range prefilled with the busy pages
and not proceed the range.
Note that vm_fault rechecks the map generation count after the object
unlock, so that it restarts the handling if raced with split, and
re-lookups the right page from the upper object.

pages, specificially, dirty pages that have passed once through the inactive
queue. A new, dedicated thread is responsible for both deciding when to
launder pages and actually laundering them. The new policy uses the
relative sizes of the inactive and laundry queues to determine whether to
launder pages at a given point in time. In general, this leads to more
intelligent swapping behavior, since the laundry thread will avoid pageouts
when the marginal benefit of doing so is low. Previously, without a
dedicated queue for dirty pages, the page daemon didn't have the information
to determine whether pageout provides any benefit to the system. Thus, the
previous policy often resulted in small but steadily increasing amounts of
swap usage when the system is under memory pressure, even when the inactive
queue consisted mostly of clean pages. This change addresses that issue,
and also paves the way for some future virtual memory system improvements by
removing the last source of object-cached clean pages, i.e., PG_CACHE pages.
The new laundry thread sleeps while waiting for a request from the page
daemon thread(s). A request is raised by setting the variable
vm_laundry_request and waking the laundry thread. We request launderings
for two reasons: to try and balance the inactive and laundry queue sizes
("background laundering"), and to quickly make up for a shortage of free
pages and clean inactive pages ("shortfall laundering"). When background
laundering is requested, the laundry thread computes the number of page
daemon wakeups that have taken place since the last laundering. If this
number is large enough relative to the ratio of the laundry and (global)
inactive queue sizes, we will launder vm_background_launder_target pages at
vm_background_launder_rate KB/s. Otherwise, the laundry thread goes back
to sleep without doing any work. When scanning the laundry queue during
background laundering, reactivated pages are counted towards the laundry
thread's target.
In contrast, shortfall laundering is requested when an inactive queue scan
fails to meet its target. In this case, the laundry thread attempts to
launder enough pages to meet v_free_target within 0.5s, which is the
inactive queue scan period.
A laundry request can be latched while another is currently being
serviced. In particular, a shortfall request will immediately preempt a
background laundering.
This change also redefines the meaning of vm_cnt.v_reactivated and removes
the functions vm_page_cache() and vm_page_try_to_cache(). The new meaning
of vm_cnt.v_reactivated now better reflects its name. It represents the
number of inactive or laundry pages that are returned to the active queue
on account of a reference.
