defines a new constant MAXBCACHEBUF, which is the largest
size for a buffer in the buffer cache. Having a separate
constant allows MAXBCACHEBUF to be set larger than MAXBSIZE
on a per-architecture basis, so that NFS can do larger read/writes
for these architectures. It modifies sys/param.h so that BKVASIZE
can also be set on a per-architecture basis.
A couple of cases where NFS used MAXBSIZE instead of NFS_MAXBSIZE
is fixed as well.

the vnode owning the buffer is not locked. More, it cannot be locked
safely, since getnewbuf_reuse_bp() is called from newbuf(), and some
other vnode is already locked, for which reused buffer will be
reassigned.
As the consequence, reclamation of the owning vnode could go in
parallel, in particular, the call to vnode_destroy_vobject(), which
deallocates the vm object and zeroes the v_bufobj->bo_object. Note
that the pages wired by the buffer are left wired and can be safely
freed by the vfs_vmio_release() without the need for the vm object
lock. Also, seeing stale pointer to the v_object is safe due to vm
object type stability.
Check for bo_bufobj != NULL and cache the value in local variable to
avoid trying to lock NULL vm object.

Restore BIO_UNMAPPED and BIO_TRANSIENT_MAPPING in biodonne() when unmapping
temporary mapped buffer. That fixes double unmap if biodone() called twice
for the same BIO (but with different done methods).
Move mapping removal before calling bio_done() method. I believe that it is
very wrong to do anything to BIO after reporting completion. kib@ thinks
it was done for some forgotten now case when bio_done() method needed mapped
buffer. But 1) if BIO was sent as unmapped, then IMO done() should be called
in the same way; 2) IMO there is no guatantee that buffer will be mapped at
this point at all, for example, if all underlying stack supports unmapped
I/O, so bio_done() handler can not expect that.
- Take BIO lock in biodone() only when there is no completion callback set
and so we should wake up thread waiting in biowait().
- Remove msleep() timeout from biowait(). It was added 11 years ago, when
there was no locks used, and it should not be needed any more.

is no sense to walk the whole dirty buffer queue. We are only
interested in, and can operate on, the buffers owned by the current
vnode [1]. Instead of calling generic queue flush routine, do
VOP_FSYNC() if possible.
Holding the dirty buffer queue lock in the bufdaemon, without dropping
it, can cause starvation of buffer writes from other threads. This is
esp. easy to reproduce on the big memory machines, where large files
are written, causing almost all dirty buffers accumulating in several
big files, which vnodes are locked by writers. Bufdaemon cannot flush
any buffer, but is iterating over the whole dirty queue
continuously. Since dirty queue mutex is not dropped, bufdone() in
g_up thread is starved, usually deadlocking the machine [2]. Mitigate
this by dropping the queue lock after the vnode is locked, allowing
other queue lock contenders to make a progress.

bufwrite() sbusies the buffer pages again, waiting for the xbusy state
to drain. The later is done in vfs_drain_busy_pages(), which is
called with the buffer pages already sbusied (by vm_pageout_flush()).
Since vfs_drain_busy_pages() can only wait for one page at the time,
and during the wait, the object lock is dropped, previous pages in the
buffer must be protected from other threads busying them. Up to the
moment, it was done by xbusying the pages, that is incompatible with
the sbusy state in the new implementation of busy. Switch to sbusy.

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

do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the
unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for
mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount
of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30%
of the system time on i/o intensive workloads.
The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED
flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is
performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which
does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into
buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag.
When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already
exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA
reservation.
Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy().
Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length
instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio
should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio,
otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio
request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA
submap.
The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and
the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the
same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt
tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the
bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers
can accept unmapped i/o requests.
Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed
tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation
requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped
buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where
pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested.
In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace
limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the
buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a
reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The
non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is
accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that
the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately.
The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because
buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.
By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into
smaller single-purpose functions.
