The vnode pager does not want the object lock held. Moving this out allows

With the previous reviews, the page lock is no longer required in order
to perform queue operations on a page. It is also no longer needed in

Previously swap space was freed on a best effort basis when a page that
had valid swap was dirtied, thus invalidating the swap copy. This may be
done inconsistently and requires the object lock which is not always
convenient.
Instead, track when swap space is present. The first dirty is responsible
for deleting space or setting PGA_SWAP_FREE which will trigger background
scans to free the swap space.
Simplify the locking in vm_fault_dirty() now that we can reliably identify
the first dirty.

The current vnode layout is not smp-friendly by having frequently read data
avoidably sharing cachelines with very frequently modified fields. In
particular v_iflag inspected for VI_DOOMED can be found in the same line with
v_usecount. Instead make it available in the same cacheline as the v_op, v_data

v_type is avoidably 4 bytes while the necessary data will easily fit in 1.

There are several mechanisms by which a vm_page reference is held,
preventing the page from being freed back to the page allocator. In
particular, holding the page's object lock is sufficient to prevent the
page from being freed; holding the busy lock or a wiring is sufficent as
well. These references are protected by the page lock, which must
therefore be acquired for many per-page operations. This results in
false sharing since the page locks are external to the vm_page
structures themselves and each lock protects multiple structures.
Transition to using an atomically updated per-page reference counter.
The object's reference is counted using a flag bit in the counter. A
second flag bit is used to atomically block new references via
pmap_extract_and_hold() while removing managed mappings of a page.
Thus, the reference count of a page is guaranteed not to increase if the
page is unbusied, unmapped, and the object's write lock is held. As
a consequence of this, the page lock no longer protects a page's
identity; operations which move pages between objects are now
synchronized solely by the objects' locks.
The vm_page_wire() and vm_page_unwire() KPIs are changed. The former
requires that either the object lock or the busy lock is held. The
latter no longer has a return value and may free the page if it releases
the last reference to that page. vm_page_unwire_noq() behaves the same
as before; the caller is responsible for checking its return value and
freeing or enqueuing the page as appropriate. vm_page_wire_mapped() is
introduced for use in pmap_extract_and_hold(). It fails if the page is
concurrently being unmapped, typically triggering a fallback to the
fault handler. vm_page_wire() no longer requires the page lock and
vm_page_unwire() now internally acquires the page lock when releasing
the last wiring of a page (since the page lock still protects a page's
queue state). In particular, synchronization details are no longer
leaked into the caller.
The change excises the page lock from several frequently executed code
paths. In particular, vm_object_terminate() no longer bounces between
page locks as it releases an object's pages, and direct I/O and
sendfile(SF_NOCACHE) completions no longer require the page lock. In
these latter cases we now get linear scalability in the common scenario
where different threads are operating on different files.
__FreeBSD_version is bumped. The DRM ports have been updated to
accomodate the KPI changes.

On dotdot lookup and fhtovp operations, it is possible for the file
represented by tmpfs node to be removed after the thread calculated
the pointer. In this case, tmpfs_alloc_vp() accesses freed memory.
Introduce the reference count on the nodes. The allnodes list from
tmpfs mount owns 1 reference, and threads performing unlocked
operations on the node, add one transient reference. Similarly, since
struct tmpfs_mount maintains the list where nodes are enlisted,
refcount it by one reference from struct mount and one reference from
each node on the list. Both nodes and tmpfs_mounts are removed when
refcount goes to zero.
Note that this means that nodes and tmpfs_mounts might survive some
time after the node is deleted or tmpfs_unmount() finished. The
tmpfs_alloc_vp() in these cases returns error either due to node
removal (tn_nlinks == 0) or because of insmntque1(9) error.

o With new KPI consumers can request contiguous ranges of pages, and
unlike before, all pages will be kept busied on return, like it was
done before with the 'reqpage' only. Now the reqpage goes away. With
new interface it is easier to implement code protected from race
conditions.
Such arrayed requests for now should be preceeded by a call to
vm_pager_haspage() to make sure that request is possible. This
could be improved later, making vm_pager_haspage() obsolete.
Strenghtening the promises on the business of the array of pages
allows us to remove such hacks as swp_pager_free_nrpage() and
vm_pager_free_nonreq().
o New KPI accepts two integer pointers that may optionally point at
values for read ahead and read behind, that a pager may do, if it
can. These pages are completely owned by pager, and not controlled
by the caller.
This shifts the UFS-specific readahead logic from vm_fault.c, which
