between creation of a file descriptor and close(2) when using kernel
assisted threads. What we do is stick descriptors in the table, but
mark them as "larval". This causes essentially everything to treat
it as a non-existent descriptor, except for fdalloc(), which sees a
filled slot so that it won't (incorrectly) allocate it again. When
a descriptor is fully constructed, the code that has constructed it
marks it as "mature" (which actually clears the "larval" flag), and
things continue to work as normal.
While here, gather all the code that gets a descriptor from the table
into a fd_getfile() function, and call it, rather than having the
same (sometimes incorrect) code copied all over the place.
some time ago. The mistake was to check that the page was not
referenced since the last active scan before moving it to inactive.
Now we just clear reference and move it to inacive (which is where
the second clock hand sweep occurs).
dynamically re-coloring pages; as machine-dependent code discovers
the size of the system's caches, it may call uvm_page_recolor() with
the new number of colors to use. If the new mumber of colors is
smaller (or equal to) the current number of colors, then uvm_page_recolor()
is a no-op.
The system defaults to one bucket if machine-dependent code does not
initialize uvmexp.ncolors before uvm_page_init() is called.
Note that the number of color bins should be initialized to something
reasonable as early as possible -- for many early memory allocations,
we live with the consequences of the page choice for the lifetime of
the boot.
each vm_page structure. Add a VM_MDPAGE_INIT() macro to init this
data when pages are initialized by UVM. These macros are mandatory,
but ports may #define them to nothing if they are not needed/used.
This deprecates struct pmap_physseg. As a transitional measure,
allow a port to #define PMAP_PHYSSEG so that it can continue to
use it until its pmap is converted to use VM_MDPAGE_MEMBERS.
Use all this stuff to eliminate a lot of extra work in the Alpha
pmap module (it's smaller and faster now). Changes to other pmap
modules will follow.
algorithm (Solaris calls this "Bin Hopping").
This implementation currently relies on MD code to define a
constant defining the number of buckets. This will change
reasonably soon (MD code will be able to dynamically size
the bucket array).
- pmap_enter()
- pmap_remove()
- pmap_protect()
- pmap_kenter_pa()
- pmap_kremove()
as described in pmap(9).
These calls are relatively conservative. It may be possible to
optimize these a little more.
which have pmap_steal_memory(). This is to reduce the API differences
between pmaps that implement pmap_steal_memory() and pmaps which do
not.
Note that pmap_steal_memory() needs to adjust *vstartp and/or
*vendp only if it used addresses within the range provided to UVM
via the pmap_virtual_space() call. I.e. it is not necessary to do
so in any current pmap_steal_memory() implementation.
on locking rules to make code easier to understand. locking in
uvm_loananon still needs some work on fringe cases where anon's page
is actually on loan from a uobj.
if uvm_loanentry() returned 0; otherwise, the unlocking would already
have been done by uvmfault_unlockall() call in uvm_loanentry().

the process dsize for both positive and negative changes. Since atop()
casts its result to a paddr_t (which is unsigned), negative changes in
process data size resulted in unrealistic dsizes being set. Use
"dsize -= atop(-diff)" for a negative diffs. Fixes the "Impossible
process sizes" mentioned on current-users.
Unsigned cast catch and much debugging help from Martin Laubach.
the mapping is:
VM_PAGER_OK 0
VM_PAGER_BAD <unused>
VM_PAGER_FAIL <unused>
VM_PAGER_PEND 0 (see below)
VM_PAGER_ERROR EIO
VM_PAGER_AGAIN EAGAIN
VM_PAGER_UNLOCK EBUSY
VM_PAGER_REFAULT ERESTART
for async i/o requests, it used to be possible for the request to
be convert to sync, and the pager would return VM_PAGER_OK or VM_PAGER_PEND
to indicate whether the caller should perform post-i/o cleanup.
this is no longer allowed; pagers must now return 0 to indicate that
the async i/o was successfully started, and the caller never needs to
worry about doing the post-i/o cleanup.
each of the basic types (anonymous data, executable image, cached files)
and prevent the pagedaemon from reusing a given page if that would reduce
the count of that type of page below a sysctl-setable minimum threshold.
the thresholds are controlled via three new sysctl tunables:
vm.anonmin, vm.vnodemin, and vm.vtextmin. these tunables are the
percentages of pageable memory reserved for each usage, and we do not allow
the sum of the minimums to be more than 95% so that there's always some
memory that can be reused.
