The previous method was to set the D_UNMAPPED_IO flag in the cdevsw
for the driver. The problem with this is that in many cases (e.g.
sa(4)) there may be some instances of the driver that can handle
unmapped I/O and some that can't. The isp(4) driver can handle
unmapped I/O, but the esp(4) driver currently cannot. The cdevsw
is shared among all driver instances.
So instead of setting a flag on the cdevsw, set a flag on the cdev.
This allows drivers to indicate support for unmapped I/O on a
per-instance basis.
sys/conf.h: Remove the D_UNMAPPED_IO cdevsw flag and replace it
with an SI_UNMAPPED cdev flag.
kern_physio.c: Look at the cdev SI_UNMAPPED flag to determine
whether or not a particular driver can handle
unmapped I/O.
geom_dev.c: Set the SI_UNMAPPED flag for all GEOM cdevs.
Since GEOM will create a temporary mapping when
needed, setting SI_UNMAPPED unconditionally will
work.
Remove the D_UNMAPPED_IO flag.
nvme_ns.c: Set the SI_UNMAPPED flag on cdevs created here
if NVME_UNMAPPED_BIO_SUPPORT is enabled.

the order that they arrive, to holding
(a) granted write lock requests, followed by
(b) granted read lock requests, followed by
(c) ungranted requests, in order of arrival.
This changes the stopping condition for iterating through granted locks to
see if a new request can be granted: When considering a read lock request,
we can stop iterating as soon as we see a read lock request, since anything
after that point is either a granted read lock request or a request which
has not yet been granted. (For write lock requests, we must still compare
against all granted lock requests.)
For workloads with R parallel reads and W parallel writes, this improves
the time spent from O((R+W)^2) to O(W*(R+W)); i.e., heavy parallel-read
workloads become significantly more scalable.
No statistically significant change in buildworld time has been measured,
but synthetic tests of parallel 'dd > /dev/null' and 'openssl enc >/dev/null'
with the input file cached yield dramatic (up to 10x) improvement with high
(up to 128 processes) levels of parallelism.

probes declared in a kernel module when that module is unloaded. In
particular,
* Unloading a module with active SDT probes will cause a panic. [1]
* A module's (FBT/SDT) probes aren't destroyed when the module is unloaded;
trying to use them after the fact will generally cause a panic.
This change fixes both problems by porting the DTrace module load/unload
handlers from illumos and registering them with the corresponding
EVENTHANDLER(9) handlers. This allows the DTrace framework to destroy all
probes defined in a module when that module is unloaded, and to prevent a
module unload from proceeding if some of its probes are active. The latter
problem has already been fixed for FBT probes by checking lf->nenabled in
kern_kldunload(), but moving the check into the DTrace framework generalizes
it to all kernel providers and also fixes a race in the current
implementation (since a probe may be activated between the check and the
call to linker_file_unload()).
Additionally, the SDT implementation has been reworked to define SDT
providers/probes/argtypes in linker sets rather than using SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT
to create and destroy SDT probes when a module is loaded or unloaded. This
simplifies things quite a bit since it means that pretty much all of the SDT
code can live in sdt.ko, and since it becomes easier to integrate SDT with
the DTrace framework. Furthermore, this allows FreeBSD to be quite flexible
in that SDT providers spanning multiple modules can be created on the fly
when a module is loaded; at the moment it looks like illumos' SDT
implementation requires all SDT probes to be statically defined in a single
kernel table.

On architectures supporting direct mapping, also avoid to pre-allocate
the KVA for such nodes.
In order to do so make the operations derived from vm_radix_insert()
to fail and handle all the deriving failure of those.
vm_radix-wise introduce a new function called vm_radix_replace(),
which can replace a leaf node, already present, with a new one,
and take into account the possibility, during vm_radix_insert()
allocation, that the operations on the radix trie can recurse.
This means that if operations in vm_radix_insert() recursed
vm_radix_insert() will start from scratch again.

Unify the 2 concept into a real, minimal, sxlock where the shared
acquisition represent the soft busy and the exclusive acquisition
represent the hard busy.
The old VPO_WANTED mechanism becames the hard-path for this new lock
and it becomes per-page rather than per-object.
The vm_object lock becames an interlock for this functionality:
it can be held in both read or write mode.
However, if the vm_object lock is held in read mode while acquiring
or releasing the busy state, the thread owner cannot make any
assumption on the busy state unless it is also busying it.
Also:
- Add a new flag to directly shared busy pages while vm_page_alloc
and vm_page_grab are being executed. This will be very helpful
once these functions happen under a read object lock.
- Move the swapping sleep into its own per-object flag
The KPI is heavilly changed this is why the version is bumped.
It is very likely that some VM ports users will need to change
their own code.

Infact, it can deadlock against vnode lock, as it tries to vget().
Other functions, right now, have an opposite lock ordering, like

sleeps on the busy mechanism.
Before this patch is reinserted we need to break this ordering.

Use the soft-busy mechanism to protect page content accesses during
short-term operations (like uiomove_fromphys()).
After this change only vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() is still using the
hold mechanism for page content access.
There is an additional complexity there as the quick path cannot
immediately access the page object to busy the page and the slow path
cannot however busy more than one page a time (to avoid deadlocks).
Fixing such primitive can bring to complete removal of the page hold
mechanism.

other than the one specified by the BOOTP server. This configures NFS
using the BOOTP protocol while also respecting other root-path options such
as setting vfs.root.mountfrom in the environment or using the RB_DFLTROOT
boot option. It allows you to override the root path provided by the
server, or to supply a root path when the server provides IP configuration
but no root path info.
This maintains the historical BOOTP_NFSROOT behavior of panicking on a
failure to mount the root path provided by the server, unless you've
provided an alternative via the ROOTDEVNAME kernel option or by setting
vfs.root.mountfrom. The behavior of panicking when given no other options
is preserved because it amounts to a bit of a retry loop that could
eventually recover from a transient network or server problem.
The user can now override the root path from loader(8) even if the
kernel is compiled with BOOTP_NFSROOT. If vfs.root.mountfrom is set in
the environment it is used unconditionally -- it always overrides the
BOOTP info. If it begins with [old]nfs: then the BOOTP code uses it
instead of the server-provided info. If it specifies some other
filesystem then the bootp code will not panic like it used to and the code
in vfs_mountroot.c will invoke the right filesystem to do the mount.
If the kernel is compiled with the ROOTDEVNAME option, then that name is
used by the BOOTP code if either
* The server doesn't provide a pathname.
* The boothowto flags include RB_DFLTROOT.
The latter allows the user to compile in alternate path in ROOTDEVNAME
such as ufs:/dev/da0s1a and boot from that path by setting
boot_dftlroot=1 in loader(8) or using the '-r' option in boot(8).
The one thing not provided here is automatic failover from a
server-provided path to a compiled-in one without the user manually
requesting that. The code just isn't currently structured in a way that
makes that possible with a lot of rewrite. I think the ability to set
vfs.root.mountfrom and to use ROOTDEVNAME automatically when the server
doesn't provide a name covers the most common needs.
A set of patches submitted by Lars Eggert provided the part I couldn't
figure out by myself when I tried to do this last year; many thanks.
