New Revision: 300865
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/300865
Log:
The flag "vm_pages_needed" has long served two distinct purposes: (1) to
indicate that threads are waiting for free pages to become available and
(2) to indicate whether a wakeup call has been sent to the page daemon.
The trouble is that a single flag cannot really serve both purposes, because
we have two distinct targets for when to wakeup threads waiting for free
pages versus when the page daemon has completed its work. In particular,
the flag will be cleared by vm_page_free() before the page daemon has met
its target, and this can lead to the OOM killer being invoked prematurely.
To address this problem, a new flag "vm_pageout_wanted" is introduced.
