managing pages from different address ranges. Generally speaking, this
feature is used to increase the likelihood that physical pages are
available that can meet special DMA requirements or can be accessed through
a limited-coverage direct mapping (e.g., MIPS). However, prior to this
change, the configuration of the free lists was static, i.e., it was
determined at compile time. Consequentally, free lists could be created
for address ranges that held no actual pages, for example, on 32-bit MIPS-
based systems with 512 MB or less of physical memory. This change makes
the creation of the free lists dynamic, i.e., it is based on the available
physical memory at boot time.
On 64-bit x86-based systems with 64 GB or more of physical memory, create
free lists for managing pages with physical addresses below 4 GB. This
change is to address reported problems with initializing devices that
require the allocation of physical pages below 4 GB on some systems with
128 GB or more of physical memory.

With the current implementation of managed fictitious ranges when
also using VM_PHYSSEG_DENSE, a user could try to register a
fictitious range that starts inside of vm_page_array, but then
overrruns it (because the end of the fictitious range is greater than
vm_page_array_size + first_page). This would result in PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE
returning unallocated pages from past the end of vm_page_array. The
same could happen if a user tried to register a segment that starts
outside of vm_page_array but ends inside of it.
In order to fix this, allow vm_phys_fictitious_{reg/unreg}_range to

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 tie between NUMA domain and pagedaemon thread/pagequeue split is
rather arbitrary, the multithreaded daemon could be allowed for the

domains, to further increase concurrency.
Right now, each pagedaemon thread tries to reach the global target,

could cause excessive page deactivation and freeing. The code should
be changed to re-check the global page deficit state in the loop after

yielding a new public interface, vm_page_alloc_contig(). This new function
addresses some of the limitations of the current interfaces, contigmalloc()
and kmem_alloc_contig(). For example, the physically contiguous memory that
is allocated with those interfaces can only be allocated to the kernel vm
object and must be mapped into the kernel virtual address space. It also
provides functionality that vm_phys_alloc_contig() doesn't, such as wiring
the returned pages. Moreover, unlike that function, it respects the low
water marks on the paging queues and wakes up the page daemon when
necessary. That said, at present, this new function can't be applied to all

From a design standpoint, this change also addresses an inconsistency

Specifically, vm_phys_alloc_contig() manipulated vm_page fields that other

- When a platform supports multiple domains, the default freelist

Each entry in the array defines a range of memory (start and end) and a

This array of structures is used to split up phys_avail[] regions that

- Each memory domain has a separate lookup-array of freelists that is

per-domain freelists are listed in a round-robin order for each domain.
In the future a table such as the ACPI SLIT table may be used to order

relative to a specific domain. The lookup lists may be examined via a

The UMA zone based allocation is replaced by a scheme that creates

This also fixes a race condition introduced by the UMA based page table
page allocation code. Dropping the page queue and pmap locks before

The changes are :
- Revert the earlier changes in MIPS pmap.c that added UMA zone for
page table pages.
- Add a new freelist VM_FREELIST_HIGHMEM to MIPS vmparam.h for memory that
is not directly mapped (in 32bit kernel). Normal page allocations will first
try the HIGHMEM freelist and then the default(direct mapped) freelist.
- Add a new function 'vm_page_t vm_page_alloc_freelist(int flind, int
order, int req)' to vm/vm_page.c to allocate a page from a specified
freelist. The MIPS page table pages will be allocated using this function
from the freelist containing direct mapped pages.
- Move the page initialization code from vm_phys_alloc_contig() to a
new function vm_page_alloc_init(), and use this function to initialize
pages in vm_page_alloc_freelist() too.
- Split the function vm_phys_alloc_pages(int pool, int order) to create

ways:
(1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page
splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object
splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object
splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be
confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a
cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the
object's lock or the page queues lock.
This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon.
Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of
CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache
queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of
this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed
when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache().
However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page
required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock
was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its
root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock.
Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and
memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages
are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead,
this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of
synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because
reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary
splay tree and memq.
(2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical
memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large
allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will
succeed.
Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when
and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by
vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to
vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and
return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9)
specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.
