insmntque() is called. The standard insmntque destructor resets the
vop vector to deadfs one, and calls vgone() on the vnode. As result,
v_object is kept unchanged, which triggers an assertion in the reclaim
code, on instmntque() failure. Also, in this case, OBJ_TMPFS flag on
the backed vm object is not cleared.
Provide the tmpfs insmntque() destructor which properly clears

Besides reducing memory use up to 2x times for situation of mapping
files from tmpfs, it also makes tmpfs read and write operations copy
twice bytes less.
VM subsystem was already slightly adapted to tolerate OBJT_SWAP object

future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held
in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages
are accessed for reading purposes.
The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported:
* The KPI changes as follow:
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()
(in order to avoid visibility of implementation details)
- The read-mode operations are added:
VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
versions must be avoided.
At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.
The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

tmpfs_mapped{read, write}() functions:
- tmpfs_mapped{read, write}() are only called within VOP_{READ, WRITE}(),
which check before-hand to work only on valid VREG vnodes. Also the
vnode is locked for the duration of the work, making vnode reclaiming
impossible, during the operation. Hence, vobj can never be NULL.
- Currently check on resident pages and cached pages without vm object
lock held is racy and can do even more harm than good, as a page could
be transitioning between these 2 pools and then be skipped entirely.
Skip the checks as lookups on empty splay trees are very cheap.

vm_object_pip_{add,subtract}() on the swap object because the swap
object can't be destroyed while the vnode is exclusively locked.
Moreover, even if the swap object could have been destroyed during
tmpfs_nocacheread() and tmpfs_mappedwrite() this code is broken
because vm_object_pip_subtract() does not wake up the sleeping thread
that is trying to destroy the swap object.
Free invalid pages after an I/O error. There is no virtue in keeping
them around in the swap object creating more work for the page daemon.
(I believe that any non-busy page in the swap object will now always
be valid.)
vm_pager_get_pages() does not return a standard errno, so its return
value should not be returned by tmpfs without translation to an errno
value.
There is no reason for the wakeup on vpg in tmpfs_mappedwrite() to
occur with the swap object locked.

operation on POSIX shared memory objects and tmpfs. Previously, neither of
these modules correctly handled the case in which the new size of the object
or file was not a multiple of the page size. Specifically, they did not
handle partial page truncation of data stored on swap. As a result, stale
data might later be returned to an application.
Interestingly, a data inconsistency was less likely to occur under tmpfs
than POSIX shared memory objects. The reason being that a different mistake
by the tmpfs truncation operation helped avoid a data inconsistency. If the
data was still resident in memory in a PG_CACHED page, then the tmpfs
truncation operation would reactivate that page, zero the truncated portion,
and leave the page pinned in memory. More precisely, the benevolent error
was that the truncation operation didn't add the reactivated page to any of
the paging queues, effectively pinning the page. This page would remain
pinned until the file was destroyed or the page was read or written. With
this change, the page is now added to the inactive queue.

This change not only saves time by eliminating pointless calls to

pmap_remove_all() versus related functions, like pmap_remove_write(). It

TMPFS_NODE_ACCESSED and TMPFS_NODE_CHANGED should be set unconditionally

Otherwise, after the last directory entry for a file has been removed, a
process that still has the file open could read stale values for the last
accessed and changed times with fstat(2).
Similarly, tmpfs_close() should update the time-related fields even if all
directory entries for a file have been removed. In this case, the effect
is that the time-related fields will have values that are later than
expected. They will correspond to the time at which fstat(2) is called.
