allocated as "no object" pages. Similar changes were made to the amd64
and i386 pmap last year. The primary reason being that maintaining
a pte object leads to lock order violations. A secondary reason being
that the pte object is redundant, i.e., the page table itself can be
used to lookup page table pages. (Historical note: The pte object
predates our ability to allocate "no object" pages. Thus, the pte
object was a necessary evil.)
- Unconditionally check the vm object lock's status in vm_page_remove().
Previously, this assertion could not be made on Alpha due to its use
of a pte object.

improved chance of working despite pressure from running programs.
Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for
the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s
request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly)
at a time.
The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it
could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks
at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out
without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes
page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting
the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the
systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking
later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated.
The page-out operations are now blocking, as it would make little sense
to try to push out a page, then get its status immediately afterward
to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to
have been freed. Another change is that if KVA allocation fails, the
allocated memory segment will be freed and not leaked.
There is a sysctl/tunable, defaulting to on, which causes the old
contigmalloc() algorithm to be used. Nonetheless, I have been using
vm.old_contigmalloc=0 for over a month. It is safe to switch at
run-time to see the difference it makes.
A new interface has been used which does not require mapping the
allocated pages into KVA: vm_page.h functions vm_page_alloc_contig()
and vm_page_release_contig(). These are what vm.old_contigmalloc=0
uses internally, so the sysctl/tunable does not affect their operation.
When using the contigmalloc(9) and contigfree(9) interfaces, memory
is now tracked with malloc(9) stats. Several functions have been
exported from kern_malloc.c to allow other subsystems to use these
statistics, as well. This invalidates the BUGS section of the
contigmalloc(9) manpage.

and WITNESS is not built, then force all M_WAITOK allocations to
M_NOWAIT behavior (transparently). This is to be used temporarily
if wierd deadlocks are reported because we still have code paths
that perform M_WAITOK allocations with lock(s) held, which can
lead to deadlock. If WITNESS is compiled, then the sysctl is ignored
and we ask witness to tell us wether we have locks held, converting
to M_NOWAIT behavior only if it tells us that we do.
Note this removes the previous mbuf.h inclusion as well (only needed
by last revision), and cleans up unneeded [artificial] comparisons
to just the mbuf zones. The problem described above has nothing to
do with previous mbuf wait behavior; it is a general problem.

zones, and do it by direct comparison of uma_zone_t instead of strcmp.
The mbuf subsystem used to provide M_TRYWAIT/M_DONTWAIT semantics, but
this is mostly no longer the case. M_WAITOK has taken over the spot
M_TRYWAIT used to have, and for mbuf things, still may return NULL if
the code path is incorrectly holding a mutex going into mbuf allocation
functions.
The M_WAITOK/M_NOWAIT semantics are absolute; though it may deadlock
the system to try to malloc or uma_zalloc something with a mutex held
and M_WAITOK specified, it is absolutely required to not return NULL
and will result in instability and/or security breaches otherwise.
There is still room to add the WITNESS_WARN() to all cases so that
we are notified of the possibility of deadlocks, but it cannot change
the value of the "badness" variable and allow allocation to actually
fail except for the specialized cases which used to be M_TRYWAIT.

to failing -- that is, allocations via malloc(M_WAITOK) that are required
to never fail -- if WITNESS is not defined. While everyone should be
running WITNESS, in any case, zone "Mbuf" allocations are really the only
ones that should be screwed with by this hack.
This hack is crashing people, and would continue to do so with or without
WITNESS. Things shouldn't be allocating with M_WAITOK with locks held,
but it's not okay just to always remove M_WAITOK when !WITNESS.

than as one-off hacks in various other parts of the kernel:
- Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to
determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be
preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new
thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns
false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread
should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical
section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added
to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the
thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly.
When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set,
then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption.
- Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling
setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the
do_switch argument from ithread_schedule().
- Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture
supports native preemption.
- Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a
chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since
the ithreads will just preempt DELAY().
- Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for
architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary.
- Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread
preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64.
This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed
except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will
avoid the run queues completely when preempting.

switch to. If a non-NULL thread pointer is passed in, then the CPU will
switch to that thread directly rather than calling choosethread() to pick
a thread to choose to.
- Make sched_switch() aware of idle threads and know to do
TD_SET_CAN_RUN() instead of sticking them on the run queue rather than
requiring all callers of mi_switch() to know to do this if they can be
called from an idlethread.
- Move constants for arguments to mi_switch() and thread_single() out of
the middle of the function prototypes and up above into their own
section.

The general UMA lock is a recursion-allowed lock because
there is a code path where, while we're still configured
to use startup_alloc() for backend page allocations, we
may end up in uma_reclaim() which calls zone_foreach(zone_drain),
which grabs uma_mtx, only to later call into startup_alloc()
because while freeing we needed to allocate a bucket. Since
startup_alloc() also takes uma_mtx, we need to be able to
recurse on it.
This exact explanation also added as comment above mtx_init().

1. Remove a race whereby contigmalloc() would deadlock against the
running processes in the system if they kept reinstantiating
the memory on the active and inactive page queues that it was
trying to flush out. The process doing the contigmalloc() would
sit in "swwrt" forever and the swap pager would be going at full
force, but never get anywhere. Instead of doing it until the
queues are empty, launder for as many iterations as there are
pages in the queue.
2. Do all laundering to swap synchronously; previously, the vnode
laundering was synchronous and the swap laundering not.
3. Increase the number of launder-or-allocate passes to three, from
two, while failing without bothering to do all the laundering on
the third pass if allocation was not possible. This effectively
gives exactly two chances to launder enough contiguous memory,
helpful with high memory churn where a lot of memory from one pass
to the next (and during a single laundering loop) becomes dirtied
again.
I can now reliably hot-plug hardware requiring a 256KB contigmalloc()
without having the kldload/cbb ithread sit around failing to make
progress, while running a busy X session. Previously, it took killing
X to get contigmalloc() to get further (that is, quiescing the system),
and even then contigmalloc() returned failure.

internal reference counters, UMA_ZONE_NOFREE. This way, those slabs
(with their ref counts) will be effectively type-stable, then using
a trick like this on the refcount is no longer dangerous:
MEXT_REM_REF(m);
if (atomic_cmpset_int(m->m_ext.ref_cnt, 0, 1)) {
if (m->m_ext.ext_type == EXT_PACKET) {
uma_zfree(zone_pack, m);
return;
} else if (m->m_ext.ext_type == EXT_CLUSTER) {
uma_zfree(zone_clust, m->m_ext.ext_buf);
m->m_ext.ext_buf = NULL;
} else {
(*(m->m_ext.ext_free))(m->m_ext.ext_buf,
m->m_ext.ext_args);
if (m->m_ext.ext_type != EXT_EXTREF)
free(m->m_ext.ref_cnt, M_MBUF);
}
}
uma_zfree(zone_mbuf, m);
Previously, a second thread hitting the above cmpset might
actually read the refcnt AFTER it has already been freed. A very
rare occurance. Now we'll know that it won't be freed, though.

mbuma is an Mbuf & Cluster allocator built on top of a number of
extensions to the UMA framework, all included herein.
Extensions to UMA worth noting:
- Better layering between slab <-> zone caches; introduce
Keg structure which splits off slab cache away from the
zone structure and allows multiple zones to be stacked
on top of a single Keg (single type of slab cache);
perhaps we should look into defining a subset API on
top of the Keg for special use by malloc(9),
for example.
- UMA_ZONE_REFCNT zones can now be added, and reference
counters automagically allocated for them within the end
of the associated slab structures. uma_find_refcnt()
does a kextract to fetch the slab struct reference from
the underlying page, and lookup the corresponding refcnt.
mbuma things worth noting:
- integrates mbuf & cluster allocations with extended UMA
and provides caches for commonly-allocated items; defines
several zones (two primary, one secondary) and two kegs.
- change up certain code paths that always used to do:
m_get() + m_clget() to instead just use m_getcl() and
try to take advantage of the newly defined secondary
Packet zone.
- netstat(1) and systat(1) quickly hacked up to do basic
stat reporting but additional stats work needs to be
done once some other details within UMA have been taken
care of and it becomes clearer to how stats will work
within the modified framework.
From the user perspective, one implication is that the
NMBCLUSTERS compile-time option is no longer used. The
maximum number of clusters is still capped off according
to maxusers, but it can be made unlimited by setting
the kern.ipc.nmbclusters boot-time tunable to zero.
Work should be done to write an appropriate sysctl
handler allowing dynamic tuning of kern.ipc.nmbclusters
at runtime.
Additional things worth noting/known issues (READ):
- One report of 'ips' (ServeRAID) driver acting really
slow in conjunction with mbuma. Need more data.
Latest report is that ips is equally sucking with
and without mbuma.
- Giant leak in NFS code sometimes occurs, can't
reproduce but currently analyzing; brueffer is
able to reproduce but THIS IS NOT an mbuma-specific
problem and currently occurs even WITHOUT mbuma.
- Issues in network locking: there is at least one
code path in the rip code where one or more locks
are acquired and we end up in m_prepend() with
M_WAITOK, which causes WITNESS to whine from within
UMA. Current temporary solution: force all UMA
allocations to be M_NOWAIT from within UMA for now
to avoid deadlocks unless WITNESS is defined and we
can determine with certainty that we're not holding
any locks when we're M_WAITOK.
- I've seen at least one weird socketbuffer empty-but-
mbuf-still-attached panic. I don't believe this
to be related to mbuma but please keep your eyes
open, turn on debugging, and capture crash dumps.
This change removes more code than it adds.
A paper is available detailing the change and considering
various performance issues, it was presented at BSDCan2004:
http://www.unixdaemons.com/~bmilekic/netbuf_bmilekic.pdf
Please read the paper for Future Work and implementation
details, as well as credits.

1. Contrary to the Single Unix Specification our implementation of
munlock(2) when performed on an unwired virtual address range has
returned an error. Correct this. Note, however, that the behavior
of "system" unwiring is unchanged, only "user" unwiring is changed.
If "system" unwiring is performed on an unwired virtual address
range, an error is still returned.
2. Performing an errant "system" unwiring on a virtual address range
that was "user" (i.e., mlock(2)) but not "system" wired would
incorrectly undo the "user" wiring instead of returning an error.
Correct this.

being that PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE() returns the wrong vm_page for fictitious
pages but unwiring uses PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE(). The resulting panic
reported an unexpected wired count. Rather than attempting to fix
PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE(), this fix takes advantage of the properties of
fictitious pages. Specifically, fictitious pages will never be
completely unwired. Therefore, we can keep a fictitious page's wired
count forever set to one and thereby avoid the use of
PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE() when we know that we're working with a fictitious
page, just not which one.
