swapoff: failed to locate %d swap blocks
The race occurred because putpages() can block between the time it
allocates swap space and the time it updates the swap metadata to
associate that space with a vm_object, so swapoff() would complain
about the temporary inconsistency. I hoped to fix this by making
swp_pager_getswapspace() and swp_pager_meta_build() a single atomic
operation, but that proved to be inconvenient. With this change,
swapoff() simply doesn't attempt to be so clever about detecting when
all the pageout activity to the target device should have drained.
In order to avoid livelock, swapoff() skips over objects with a
nonzero pip count and makes another pass if necessary. Since it is
impossible to know which objects we care about, it would choose an
arbitrary object with a nonzero pip count and wait for it before
making another pass, the theory being that this object would finish
paging about as quickly as the ones we care about. Unfortunately,
we may have slept since we acquired a reference to this object.
Hack around this problem by tsleep()ing on the pointer anyway, but
timeout after a fixed interval. More elegant solutions are possible,
but the ones I considered unnecessarily complicate this rare case.
Also, kill some nits that seem to have crept into the swapoff() code
in the last 75 revisions or so:
- Don't pass both sp and sp->sw_used to swap_pager_swapoff(), since
the latter can be derived from the former.
- Replace swp_pager_find_dev() with something simpler. There's no
need to iterate over the entire list of swap devices just to determine
if a given block is assigned to the one we're interested in.
- Expand the scope of the swhash_mtx in a couple of places so that it
isn't released and reacquired once for every hash bucket.
- Don't drop the swhash_mtx while holding a reference to an object.
We need to lock the object first. Unfortunately, doing so would
violate the established lock order, so use VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() and
try again on a subsequent pass if the object is already locked.
- Refactor swp_pager_force_pagein() and swap_pager_swapoff() a bit.
Extend it with a strategy method.
Add bufstrategy() which do the usual VOP_SPECSTRATEGY/VOP_STRATEGY
song and dance.
Rename ibwrite to bufwrite().
Move the two NFS buf_ops to more sensible places, add bufstrategy
to them.
Add inlines for bwrite() and bstrategy() which calls through
buf->b_bufobj->b_ops->b_{write,strategy}().
Replace almost all VOP_STRATEGY()/VOP_SPECSTRATEGY() calls with bstrategy().
Initialize b_bufobj for all buffers.
Make incore() and gbincore() take a bufobj instead of a vnode.
Make inmem() local to vfs_bio.c
Change a lot of VI_[UN]LOCK(bp->b_vp) to BO_[UN]LOCK(bp->b_bufobj)
also VI_MTX() to BO_MTX(),
Make buf_vlist_add() take a bufobj instead of a vnode.
Eliminate other uses of bp->b_vp where bp->b_bufobj will do.
Various minor polishing: remove "register", turn panic into KASSERT,
use new function declarations, TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE() etc.
Add bufobj_wref(), bufobj_wdrop() and bufobj_wwait() to handle the write
count on a bufobj. Bufobj_wdrop() replaces vwakeup().
Use these functions all relevant places except in ffs_softdep.c where
the use if interlocked_sleep() makes this impossible.
Rename b_vnbufs to b_bobufs now that we touch all the relevant files anyway.
kmem_alloc_pageable(). The difference between these is that an errant
memory access to the zone will be detected sooner with
kmem_alloc_nofault().
The following changes serve to eliminate the following lock-order
reversal reported by witness:
1st 0xc1a3c084 vm object (vm object) @ vm/swap_pager.c:1311
2nd 0xc07acb00 swap_pager swhash (swap_pager swhash) @ vm/swap_pager.c:1797
3rd 0xc1804bdc vm object (vm object) @ vm/uma_core.c:931
There is no potential deadlock in this case. However, witness is unable
to recognize this because vm objects used by UMA have the same type as
ordinary vm objects. To remedy this, we make the following changes:
- Add a mutex type argument to VM_OBJECT_LOCK_INIT().
- Use the mutex type argument to assign distinct types to special
vm objects such as the kernel object, kmem object, and UMA objects.
- Define a static swap zone object for use by UMA. (Only static
objects are assigned a special mutex type.)

While we're here, brucify the printf() call which happens when we
time out on acquisition of vm_page_queue_mtx.

allocation and deallocation. This flag's principal use is shortly after
allocation. For such cases, clearing the flag is pointless. The only
unusual use of PG_ZERO is in vfs_bio_clrbuf(). However, allocbuf() never
requests a prezeroed page. So, vfs_bio_clrbuf() never sees a prezeroed
page.
