The division added in r331732 meant that we wouldn't attempt a
background laundering until at least v_free_target - v_free_min clean
pages had been freed by the page daemon since the last laundering. If
the inactive queue is depleted but not completely empty (e.g., because
it contains busy pages), it can thus take a long time to meet this
threshold. Restore the pre-r331732 behaviour of using a non-zero
background laundering threshold if at least one inactive queue scan has
elapsed since the last attempt at background laundering.

This elides some page lock and page queue lock operations in common

There, the pages freed might be managed but the page's lock is not

to vm_page_free_prep(), which is asserted. Reclaim loop already did
the work which could be done by vm_page_free_prep(), so the lock is
not needed and the only consequence of not owning it is the assert

From the submitter description:
The process is forked transitioning a map entry to COW
Thread A writes to a page on the map entry, faults, updates the pmap to
writable at a new phys addr, and starts TLB invalidations...
Thread B acquires a lock, writes to a location on the new phys addr, and
releases the lock
Thread C acquires the lock, reads from the location on the old phys addr...
Thread A ...continues the TLB invalidations which are completed
Thread C ...reads from the location on the new phys addr, and releases
the lock
In this example Thread B and C [lock, use and unlock] properly and
neither own the lock at the same time. Thread A was writing somewhere
else on the page and so never had/needed the lock. Thread C sees a
location that is only ever read|modified under a lock change beneath
it while it is the lock owner.
To fix this, perform the two-stage update of the copied PTE. First,
the PTE is updated with the address of the new physical page with
copied content, but in read-only mode. The pmap locking and the page
busy state during PTE update and TLB invalidation IPIs ensure that any
writer to the page cannot upgrade the PTE to the writable state until
all CPUs updated their TLB to not cache old mapping. Then, after the
busy state of the page is lifted, the faults for write can proceed and
do not violate the consistency of the reads.
The change is done in vm_fault because most architectures do need IPIs
to invalidate remote TLBs. More, I think that hardware guarantees of
atomicity of the remote TLB invalidation are not enough to prevent the
inconsistent reads of non-atomic reads, like multi-word accesses
protected by a lock. So instead of modifying each pmap invalidation
code, I did it there.

Previously, wiring a page would cause it to be removed from its page
queue. In the common case, unwiring causes it to be enqueued at the tail
of that page queue. This change modifies vm_page_wire() to not dequeue
the page, thus avoiding the highly contended page queue locks. Instead,
vm_page_unwire() takes care of requeuing the page as a single operation,
and the page daemon dequeues wired pages as they are encountered during
a queue scan to avoid needlessly revisiting them later. For pages in
PQ_ACTIVE we do even better, since a requeue is unnecessary.
The change improves scalability for some common workloads. For instance,
threads wiring pages into the buffer cache no longer need to modify
global page queues, and unwiring is usually done by the bufspace thread,
so concurrency is not as much of an issue. As another example, many
sysctl handlers wire the output buffer to avoid faults on copyout, and
since the buffer is likely to be in PQ_ACTIVE, we now entirely avoid
modifying the page queue in this case.
The change also adds a block comment describing some properties of
struct vm_page's reference counters, and the busy lock.
