Reimplement contigmalloc(9) with an algorithm which stands a greatly-
improved chance of working despite pressure from running programs.
Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for
the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s
request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly)
at a time.
The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it
could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks
at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out
without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes
page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting
the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the
systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking
later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated.
The page-out operations are now blocking, as it would make little sense
to try to push out a page, then get its status immediately afterward
to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to
have been freed. Another change is that if KVA allocation fails, the
allocated memory segment will be freed and not leaked.
There is a sysctl/tunable, defaulting to on, which causes the old
contigmalloc() algorithm to be used. Nonetheless, I have been using
vm.old_contigmalloc=0 for over a month. It is safe to switch at
run-time to see the difference it makes.
A new interface has been used which does not require mapping the
allocated pages into KVA: vm_page.h functions vm_page_alloc_contig()
and vm_page_release_contig(). These are what vm.old_contigmalloc=0
uses internally, so the sysctl/tunable does not affect their operation.
When using the contigmalloc(9) and contigfree(9) interfaces, memory
is now tracked with malloc(9) stats. Several functions have been
exported from kern_malloc.c to allow other subsystems to use these
statistics, as well. This invalidates the BUGS section of the
contigmalloc(9) manpage.

Enable the new physical memory allocator.
This allocator uses a binary buddy system with a twist. First and
foremost, this allocator is required to support the implementation of
superpages. As a side effect, it enables a more robust implementation
of contigmalloc(9). Moreover, this reimplementation of
contigmalloc(9) eliminates the acquisition of Giant by
contigmalloc(..., M_NOWAIT, ...).
The twist is that this allocator tries to reduce the number of TLB
misses incurred by accesses through a direct map to small, UMA-managed
objects and page table pages. Roughly speaking, the physical pages
that are allocated for such purposes are clustered together in the
physical address space. The performance benefits vary. In the most
extreme case, a uniprocessor kernel running on an Opteron, I measured
an 18% reduction in system time during a buildworld.
This allocator does not implement page coloring. The reason is that
superpages have much the same effect. The contiguous physical memory
allocation necessary for a superpage is inherently colored.
Finally, the one caveat is that this allocator does not effectively
support prezeroed pages. I hope this is temporary. On i386, this is
a slight pessimization. However, on amd64, the beneficial effects of
the direct-map optimization outweigh the ill effects. I speculate
that this is true in general of machines with a direct map.

Reimplement contigmalloc(9) with an algorithm which stands a greatly-
improved chance of working despite pressure from running programs.
Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for
the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s
request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly)
at a time.
The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it
could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks
at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out
without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes
page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting
the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the
systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking
later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated.
The page-out operations are now blocking, as it would make little sense
to try to push out a page, then get its status immediately afterward
to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to
have been freed. Another change is that if KVA allocation fails, the
allocated memory segment will be freed and not leaked.
There is a sysctl/tunable, defaulting to on, which causes the old
contigmalloc() algorithm to be used. Nonetheless, I have been using
vm.old_contigmalloc=0 for over a month. It is safe to switch at
run-time to see the difference it makes.

Change the management of cached pages (PQ_CACHE) in two fundamental
ways:
(1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page
splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object
splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object
splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be
confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a
cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the
object's lock or the page queues lock.
This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon.
Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of
CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache
queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of
this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed
when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache().
However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page
required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock
was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its
root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock.
Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and
memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages
are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead,
this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of
synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because
reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary
splay tree and memq.
(2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical
memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large
allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will
succeed.
Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when
and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by
vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to
vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and
return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9)
specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

Enable the new physical memory allocator.
This allocator uses a binary buddy system with a twist. First and
foremost, this allocator is required to support the implementation of
superpages. As a side effect, it enables a more robust implementation
of contigmalloc(9). Moreover, this reimplementation of
contigmalloc(9) eliminates the acquisition of Giant by
contigmalloc(..., M_NOWAIT, ...).
The twist is that this allocator tries to reduce the number of TLB
misses incurred by accesses through a direct map to small, UMA-managed
objects and page table pages. Roughly speaking, the physical pages
that are allocated for such purposes are clustered together in the
physical address space. The performance benefits vary. In the most
extreme case, a uniprocessor kernel running on an Opteron, I measured
an 18% reduction in system time during a buildworld.
This allocator does not implement page coloring. The reason is that
superpages have much the same effect. The contiguous physical memory
allocation necessary for a superpage is inherently colored.
Finally, the one caveat is that this allocator does not effectively
support prezeroed pages. I hope this is temporary. On i386, this is
a slight pessimization. However, on amd64, the beneficial effects of
the direct-map optimization outweigh the ill effects. I speculate
that this is true in general of machines with a direct map.

the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the
systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking
later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated.
The page-out operations are now blocking, as it would make little sense
to try to push out a page, then get its status immediately afterward
to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to
have been freed. Another change is that if KVA allocation fails, the
allocated memory segment will be freed and not leaked.
There is a sysctl/tunable, defaulting to on, which causes the old
contigmalloc() algorithm to be used. Nonetheless, I have been using
vm.old_contigmalloc=0 for over a month. It is safe to switch at
run-time to see the difference it makes.
A new interface has been used which does not require mapping the
allocated pages into KVA: vm_page.h functions vm_page_alloc_contig()
and vm_page_release_contig(). These are what vm.old_contigmalloc=0
uses internally, so the sysctl/tunable does not affect their operation.
When using the contigmalloc(9) and contigfree(9) interfaces, memory
is now tracked with malloc(9) stats. Several functions have been
exported from kern_malloc.c to allow other subsystems to use these
statistics, as well. This invalidates the BUGS section of the
contigmalloc(9) manpage.

Enable the new physical memory allocator.
This allocator uses a binary buddy system with a twist. First and
foremost, this allocator is required to support the implementation of
superpages. As a side effect, it enables a more robust implementation
of contigmalloc(9). Moreover, this reimplementation of
contigmalloc(9) eliminates the acquisition of Giant by
contigmalloc(..., M_NOWAIT, ...).
The twist is that this allocator tries to reduce the number of TLB
misses incurred by accesses through a direct map to small, UMA-managed
objects and page table pages. Roughly speaking, the physical pages
that are allocated for such purposes are clustered together in the
physical address space. The performance benefits vary. In the most
extreme case, a uniprocessor kernel running on an Opteron, I measured
an 18% reduction in system time during a buildworld.
This allocator does not implement page coloring. The reason is that
superpages have much the same effect. The contiguous physical memory
allocation necessary for a superpage is inherently colored.
Finally, the one caveat is that this allocator does not effectively
support prezeroed pages. I hope this is temporary. On i386, this is
a slight pessimization. However, on amd64, the beneficial effects of
the direct-map optimization outweigh the ill effects. I speculate
that this is true in general of machines with a direct map.

Reimplement contigmalloc(9) with an algorithm which stands a greatly-
improved chance of working despite pressure from running programs.
Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for
the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s
request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly)
at a time.
The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it
could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks
at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out
without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes
page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting
the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the
