First round of changes from John Dyson and myself to the VM system. This set improves performance and fixes the following problems (description from John Dyson): 1. Growing swap space problem in both static usage and in situations with lots of fork/execs in heavy paging situations. 2. Sparse swap space allocation (internal fragmentation.) 3. General swap_pager slowness. Additionally, the new swap_pager also provides hooks for multi-page I/O that is currently being developed (in early testing phases.) Problem #1 is a result of a problem where objects cannot be collapsed once a pager has been allocated for them. This problem has been solved by relaxing the restriction by allowing the pages contained in a shadow object's pager be copied to the parent object's pager. The copy is afforded by manipulating pointers to the disk blocks on the swap space. Since an improved swap_pager has already been developed with the data structures to support the copy operation, this new swap_pager has been introduced. Also, shadow object bypass in the collapse code has been enhanced to support checking for pages on disk. The vm_pageout daemon has also been modified to defer creation of an object's pager when the object's shadow is paging. This allows efficient immediate collapsing of a shadow into a parent object under many circumstances without the creation of an intermediate pager. Problem #2 is solved by the allocation data structures and algorithms in the new swap_pager. Additionally, a newer version of this new swap_pager is being tested that permits multiple page I/O and mitigation of the fragmentation problems associated with allocation of large contiguous blocks of swap space. Problem #3 is addressed by better algorithms and a fix of a couple of bugs in the swap_pager. Additionally, this new pager has a growth path allowing multi-page inputs from disk. Approximately 50% performance improvement can be expected under certain circumstances when using this pager in the standard single page mode. (Actually, I've seen more like twice the speed in my tests. -DLG)

General swap_pager slowness. Additionally, the new swap_pager also provides hooks for multi-page I/O that is currently being developed (in early testing phases.) Problem #1 is a result of a problem where objects cannot be collapsed once a pager has been allocated for them. This problem has been solved by relaxing the restriction by allowing the pages contained in a shadow object's pager be copied to the parent object's pager. The copy is afforded by manipulating pointers to the disk blocks on the swap space. Since an improved swap_pager has already been developed with the data structures to support the copy operation, this new swap_pager has been introduced. Also, shadow object bypass in the collapse code has been enhanced to support checking for pages on disk. The vm_pageout daemon has also been modified to defer creation of an object's pager when the object's shadow is paging. This allows efficient immediate collapsing of a shadow into a parent object under many circumstances without the creation of an intermediate pager. Problem #2 is solved by the allocation data structures and algorithms in the new swap_pager. Additionally, a newer version of this new swap_pager is being tested that permits multiple page I/O and mitigation of the fragmentation problems associated with allocation of large contiguous blocks of swap space. Problem #3 is addressed by better algorithms and a fix of a couple of bugs in the swap_pager. Additionally, this new pager has a growth path allowing multi-page inputs from disk. Approximately 50% performance improvement can be expected under certain circumstances when using this pager in the standard single page mode.
