Xin LI 8e33bced3c Try to close a potential, but serious race in our VM subsystem.
Historically, our contigmalloc1() and contigmalloc2() assumes
that a page in PQ_CACHE can be unconditionally reused by busying
and freeing it.  Unfortunatelly, when object happens to be not
NULL, the code will set m->object to NULL and disregard the fact
that the page is actually in the VM page bucket, resulting in
page bucket hash table corruption and finally, a filesystem
corruption, or a 'page not in hash' panic.

This commit has borrowed the idea taken from DragonFlyBSD's fix
to the VM fix by Matthew Dillon[1].  This version of patch will
do the following checks:

	- When scanning pages in PQ_CACHE, check hold_count and
	  skip over pages that are held temporarily.
	- For pages in PQ_CACHE and selected as candidate of being
	  freed, check if it is busy at that time.

Note:  It seems that this is might be unrelated to kern/72539.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
