* VM_OBJECT_LOCK and VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK are mapped to write operations
* VM_OBJECT_SLEEP() is introduced as a general purpose primitve to
get a sleep operation using a VM_OBJECT_LOCK() as protection
* The approach must bear with vm_pager.h namespace pollution so many
files require including directly rwlock.h
machine to another. Therefore, VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDRESS can't be a constant.
Instead, #define it to be a variable, vm_max_kernel_address, just like we
do on sparc64.

in devfs if a particular race condition is hit in the device pager
code.
This was a side effect of change 227530 which changed the device
pager interface to call a new destructor routine for the cdev.
That destructor routine, old_dev_pager_dtor(), takes a VM object
handle.
The object handle is cast to a struct cdev *, and passed into
dev_rel().
That works in most cases, except the case in cdev_pager_allocate()
where there is a race condition between two threads allocating an
object backed by the same device. The loser of the race
deallocates its object at the end of the function.
The problem is that before inserting the object into the
dev_pager_object_list, the object's handle is changed from the
struct cdev pointer to the object's own address. This is to avoid
conflicts with the winner of the race, which already inserted an
object in the list with a handle that is a pointer to the same cdev
structure.
The object is then passed to vm_object_deallocate(), and eventually
makes its way down to old_dev_pager_dtor(). That function passes
the handle pointer (which is actually a VM object, not a struct
cdev as usual) into dev_rel(). dev_rel() decrements the reference
count in the assumed struct cdev (which happens to be 0), and
that triggers the assertion in dev_rel() that the reference count
is greater than or equal to 0.
The fix is to add a cdev pointer to the VM object, and use that
pointer when calling the cdev_pg_dtor() routine.
vm_object.h: Add a struct cdev pointer to the VM object
structure.
device_pager.c: In cdev_pager_allocate(), populate the new cdev
pointer.
In dev_pager_dealloc(), use the new cdev pointer
when calling the object's cdev_pg_dtor() routine.

similar changes had to be made in various places throughout the machine-
independent virtual memory layer to support the new vm object type.
However, in most of these places, it's actually not the type of the vm
object that matters to us but instead certain attributes of its pages.
For example, OBJT_DEVICE, OBJT_MGTDEVICE, and OBJT_SG objects contain
fictitious pages. In other words, in most of these places, we were
testing the vm object's type to determine if it contained fictitious (or
unmanaged) pages.
To both simplify the code in these places and make the addition of future
vm object types easier, this change introduces two new vm object flags
that describe attributes of the vm object's pages, specifically, whether
they are fictitious or unmanaged.

Add detail to the comment describing this function. In particular,
describe what MAP_PREFAULT_PARTIAL does.
Eliminate the abrupt change in behavior when the specified address range
grows from MAX_INIT_PT pages to MAX_INIT_PT plus one pages. Instead of
doing nothing, i.e., preloading no mappings whatsoever, map any resident
pages that fall within the start of the specified address range, i.e.,
[addr, addr + ulmin(size, ptoa(MAX_INIT_PT))).
Long ago, the vm object's list of resident pages was not ordered, so
this function had to choose between probing the global hash table of
all resident pages and iterating over the vm object's unordered list of
resident pages. Now, the list is ordered, so there is no reason for
MAP_PREFAULT_PARTIAL to be concerned with the vm object's count of
resident changes.

sleep, and perform the page allocations with VM_ALLOC_SYSTEM
class. Previously, the allocation was also allowed to completely drain
the reserve of the free pages, being translated to VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT
request class for vm_page_alloc() and similar functions.
Allow the caller of malloc* to request the 'deep drain' semantic by
providing M_USE_RESERVE flag, now translated to VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT
class. Previously, it resulted in less aggressive VM_ALLOC_SYSTEM
allocation class.
Centralize the translation of the M_* malloc(9) flags in the single

was still possible to open for write from the lower filesystem. There
is a symmetric situation where the binary could already has file
descriptors opened for write, but it can be executed from the nullfs
overlay.
Handle the issue by passing one v_writecount reference to the lower
vnode if nullfs vnode has non-zero v_writecount. Note that only one
write reference can be donated, since nullfs only keeps one use
reference on the lower vnode. Always use the lower vnode v_writecount
for the checks.
Introduce the VOP_GET_WRITECOUNT to read v_writecount, which is
currently always bypassed to the lower vnode, and VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT
to manipulate the v_writecount value, which manages a single bypass
reference to the lower vnode. Caling the VOPs instead of directly
accessing v_writecount provide the fix described in the previous
paragraph.

the call to pmap_remove_all() within vm_page_cache() is usually redundant.
This change eliminates that call to pmap_remove_all() and introduces a
call to pmap_remove_all() before vm_page_cache() in the one place where
it didn't already exist.
When iterating over a paging queue, if the object containing the current
page has a zero reference count, then the page can't have any managed
mappings. So, a call to pmap_remove_all() is pointless.
Change a panic() call in vm_page_cache() to a KASSERT().

because the queue itself serves no purpose. When a held page is freed,
inserting the page into the hold queue has the side effect of setting the
page's "queue" field to PQ_HOLD. Later, when the page is unheld, it will
be freed because the "queue" field is PQ_HOLD. In other words, PQ_HOLD is
used as a flag, not a queue. So, this change replaces it with a flag.
To accomodate the new page flag, make the page's "flags" field wider and
"oflags" field narrower.

If you have a binary on a filesystem which is also mounted over by
nullfs, you could execute the binary from the lower filesystem, or
from the nullfs mount. When executed from lower filesystem, the lower
vnode gets VV_TEXT flag set, and the file cannot be modified while the
binary is active. But, if executed as the nullfs alias, only the
nullfs vnode gets VV_TEXT set, and you still can open the lower vnode
for write.
Add a set of VOPs for the VV_TEXT query, set and clear operations,
which are correctly bypassed to lower vnode.
