The synchronization provided by vm object locking has eliminated the
need for most calls to vm_page_busy(). Specifically, most calls to
vm_page_busy() occur immediately prior to a call to vm_page_remove().
In such cases, the containing vm object is locked across both calls.
Consequently, the setting of the vm page's PG_BUSY flag is not even
visible to other threads that are following the synchronization
protocol.
This change (1) eliminates the calls to vm_page_busy() that
immediately precede a call to vm_page_remove() or functions, such as
vm_page_free() and vm_page_rename(), that call it and (2) relaxes the
requirement in vm_page_remove() that the vm page's PG_BUSY flag is
set. Now, the vm page's PG_BUSY flag is set only when the vm object
lock is released while the vm page is still in transition. Typically,
this is when it is undergoing I/O.
