- Each cpu now has a PCPU_GET(domain) member to indicate the memory domain

- When a platform supports multiple domains, the default freelist
(VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT) is split up into N freelists, one for each domain.
The MD code is required to populate an array of mem_affinity structures.
Each entry in the array defines a range of memory (start and end) and a
domain for the range. Multiple entries may be present for a single
domain. The list is terminated by an entry where all fields are zero.
This array of structures is used to split up phys_avail[] regions that
fall in VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT into per-domain freelists.
- Each memory domain has a separate lookup-array of freelists that is
used when fulfulling a physical memory allocation. Right now the
per-domain freelists are listed in a round-robin order for each domain.
In the future a table such as the ACPI SLIT table may be used to order
the per-domain lookup lists based on the penalty for each memory domain
relative to a specific domain. The lookup lists may be examined via a

- Add a new freelist VM_FREELIST_HIGHMEM to MIPS vmparam.h for memory that

- Add a new function 'vm_page_t vm_page_alloc_freelist(int flind, int

from the freelist containing direct mapped pages.
- Move the page initialization code from vm_phys_alloc_contig() to a

pages in vm_page_alloc_freelist() too.

an ordering dependence: A pmap operation that clears PG_WRITEABLE and calls
vm_page_dirty() must perform the call first. Otherwise, pmap_is_modified()
could return FALSE without acquiring the page queues lock because the page
is not (currently) writeable, and the caller to pmap_is_modified() might
believe that the page's dirty field is clear because it has not seen the
effect of the vm_page_dirty() call.
When I pushed down the page queues lock into pmap_is_modified(), I
overlooked one place where this ordering dependence is violated:
pmap_enter(). In a rare situation pmap_enter() can be called to replace a
dirty mapping to one page with a mapping to another page. (I say rare
because replacements generally occur as a result of a copy-on-write fault,
and so the old page is not dirty.) This change delays clearing PG_WRITEABLE
until after vm_page_dirty() has been called.
Fixing the ordering dependency also makes it easy to introduce a small
optimization: When pmap_enter() used to replace a mapping to one page with a
mapping to another page, it freed the pv entry for the first mapping and
later called the pv entry allocator for the new mapping. Now, pmap_enter()
attempts to recycle the old pv entry, saving two calls to the pv entry
allocator.

Correct a long-standing bug in vm_page_cowsetup(). We cannot possibly
do copy-on-write-based zero-copy transmit on unmanaged or fictitious
pages, so don't even try. Previously, the call to pmap_remove_write()
would have failed silently.
(This eliminates a surprising number of page queues lock acquisitions by
vm_fault() because the page's queue is PQ_NONE and thus the page queues
lock is not needed to remove the page from a queue.)
swp_pager_force_pagein(). By dirtying the page, swp_pager_force_pagein()
forces vm_page_dontneed() to insert the page at the head of the inactive
queue, just like vm_page_deactivate() does. Moreover, because the page
was invalid, it can't have been mapped, and thus the other effect of
vm_page_dontneed(), clearing the page's reference bits has no effect. In
summary, there is no reason to call vm_page_dontneed() since its effect
will be identical to calling the simpler vm_page_deactivate().
vm_page_try_to_free(). Consequently, push down the page queues lock into
pmap_enter_quick(), pmap_page_wired_mapped(), pmap_remove_all(), and
pmap_remove_write().
Push down the page queues lock into Xen's pmap_page_is_mapped(). (I
overlooked the Xen pmap in r207702.)
Switch to a per-processor counter for the total number of pages cached.
pmap_page_is_mapped() in preparation for removing page queues locking
around calls to vm_page_free(). Setting aside the assertion that calls
pmap_page_is_mapped(), vm_page_free_toq() now acquires and holds the page
queues lock just long enough to actually add or remove the page from the
paging queues.
Update vm_page_unhold() to reflect the above change.
vm_pageout_fallback_object_lock(), to obtain the page lock
while having page queue lock locked, and still maintain the
page position in a queue.
Use the helper to lock the page in the pageout daemon and contig launder
iterators instead of skipping the page if its lock is contested.
Skipping locked pages easily causes pagedaemon or launder to not make a
progress with page cleaning.

managed pages that didn't already have that lock held. (Freeing an
unmanaged page, such as the various pmaps use, doesn't require the page
lock.)
This allows a change in vm_page_remove()'s locking requirements. It now
expects the page lock to be held instead of the page queues lock.
Consequently, the page queues lock is no longer required at all by callers
to vm_page_rename().

objects instead of OBJT_DEFAULT objects because we never reclaim or pageout
the allocated pages. Moreover, they are mapped with pmap_qenter(), which
creates unmanaged mappings.

to unconditionally set PG_REFERENCED on a page before sleeping. In many
cases, it's perfectly ok for the page to disappear, i.e., be reclaimed by
the page daemon, before the caller to vm_page_sleep() is reawakened.
Instead, we now explicitly set PG_REFERENCED in those cases where having
the page persist until the caller is awakened is clearly desirable. Note,
however, that setting PG_REFERENCED on the page is still only a hint,
and not a guarantee that the page should persist.
revision, r207450, to this file. Specifically, between dropping the page
queues lock in vm_contig_launder() and reacquiring it in
vm_contig_launder_page(), the page may be removed from the active or
inactive queue. It could be wired, freed, cached, etc. None of which
vm_contig_launder_page() is prepared for.

vm_map_insert() fails because the aligned space is already partly used.

- re-assign page queue lock "Q"
- assign page lock "P"
- update several uncommented fields
- observe that hold_count is now protected by the page lock "P"
