UVM was written by chuck cranor <chuck@maria.wustl.edu>, with some
minor portions derived from the old Mach code. i provided some help
getting swap and paging working, and other bug fixes/ideas. chuck
silvers <chuq@chuq.com> also provided some other fixes.
these are the changes to the old Mach VM system to allow both to be
available in the kernel.
string. The actual functional changes are:
1. in vm_page_alloc(), restore some long lost code by Paul Kranenburg
that reserves the last few pages for kernel objects, adding an
additional escape for the pageout daemon.
2. In vm_wait() (replaces VM_WAIT), recognize the amusing fatal
deadlock where the pagedemon sleeps on a channel that only it ever
wakes up, and add a timeout and printf. Mod 1 should generally
prevent this from happening in any case.
3. Fix a livelock in vm_pageout_page() caused by a pre-wakeup of
page consumers prior to the pageout, which can easily fail over
memory issues in NFS and IP code. Also, ++ cnt.v_pageouts only
if the pageout succeeded.
