The LK_NOWAIT was added to suppress a witness warning, but LK_NOWITNESS
is more what we mean. This makes pbuf_ctor() more consistent with
buf_alloc(), although, unlike buf_alloc(), for pbuf there should not be
any danger of a wild locker relying on the type stability of the buf to
attempt a lock. That is, this is essentially cosmetic.
Relevant history:
- 531f8cfea0 Use dedicated lock name for pbufs
- 5875b94c74 buf_alloc(): lock the buffer with LK_NOWAIT
- c9e023541a pbuf_ctor(): lock the buffer with LK_NOWAIT

Instead of blessing ufs and pbufwait, use LK_NOWAIT to prevent recording

This is OBJT_SWAP pager, specialized for tmpfs. Right now, both swap pager

Since VM still needs a notion of the 'swap object', regardless of its

vm_object_allocate() where other type-class flags are set.

Replace MAXPHYS by runtime variable maxphys. It is initialized from
MAXPHYS by default, but can be also adjusted with the tunable kern.maxphys.
Make b_pages[] array in struct buf flexible. Size b_pages[] for buffer
cache buffers exactly to atop(maxbcachebuf) (currently it is sized to
atop(MAXPHYS)), and b_pages[] for pbufs is sized to atop(maxphys) + 1.
The +1 for pbufs allow several pbuf consumers, among them vmapbuf(),
to use unaligned buffers still sized to maxphys, esp. when such
buffers come from userspace (*). Overall, we save significant amount
of otherwise wasted memory in b_pages[] for buffer cache buffers,
while bumping MAXPHYS to desired high value.
Eliminate all direct uses of the MAXPHYS constant in kernel and driver
sources, except a place which initialize maxphys. Some random (and
arguably weird) uses of MAXPHYS, e.g. in linuxolator, are converted
straight. Some drivers, which use MAXPHYS to size embeded structures,
get private MAXPHYS-like constant; their convertion is out of scope
for this work.

o In vm_pager_bufferinit() create pbuf_zone and start accounting on how many

In various subsystems that are going to utilize pbufs create private zones
via call to pbuf_zsecond_create(). The latter calls uma_zsecond_create(),
and sets a limit on created zone. After startup preallocate pbufs according
to requirements of all pbuf zones.
Subsystems that used to have a private limit with old allocator now have
private pbuf zones: md(4), fusefs, NFS client, smbfs, VFS cluster, FFS,
swap, vnode pager.
The following subsystems use shared pbuf zone: cam(4), nvme(4), physio(9),
aio(4). They should have their private limits, but changing that is out of
scope of this commit.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
While these locks are guarnteed to not share their respective cache lines,
their current placement leaves unnecessary holes in lines which preceeded them.
For instance the annotation of vm_page_queue_free_mtx allows 2 neighbour
cachelines (previously separate by the lock) to be collapsed into 1.
The annotation is only effective on architectures which have it implemented in
their linker script (currently only amd64). Thus locks are not converted to
their not-padaligned variants as to not affect the rest.

This can be handy in tracking down what code touched hung bios and bufs
last. The full history is especially useful, but adds enough bloat that
it shouldn't be enabled in release builds.
Function names (or arbitrary string constants) are tracked in a
fixed-size ring in bufs. Bios gain a pointer to the upper buf for

o With new KPI consumers can request contiguous ranges of pages, and
unlike before, all pages will be kept busied on return, like it was
done before with the 'reqpage' only. Now the reqpage goes away. With
new interface it is easier to implement code protected from race
conditions.
Such arrayed requests for now should be preceeded by a call to
vm_pager_haspage() to make sure that request is possible. This
could be improved later, making vm_pager_haspage() obsolete.
Strenghtening the promises on the business of the array of pages
allows us to remove such hacks as swp_pager_free_nrpage() and
vm_pager_free_nonreq().
o New KPI accepts two integer pointers that may optionally point at
values for read ahead and read behind, that a pager may do, if it
can. These pages are completely owned by pager, and not controlled
by the caller.
This shifts the UFS-specific readahead logic from vm_fault.c, which
should be file system agnostic, into vnode_pager.c. It also removes
one VOP_BMAP() request per hard fault.

'buf' is inconvenient and has lead me to some irritating to discover

not perfect but better than it was before.
- Eliminate the unused ffs function that relied on knowledge of the buf

future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held
in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages
are accessed for reading purposes.
The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported:
* The KPI changes as follow:
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()
(in order to avoid visibility of implementation details)
- The read-mode operations are added:
VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
versions must be avoided.
At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.
The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).
