New Revision: 327168
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/327168
Log:
Fix two problems with the page daemon control loop.
Both issues caused the page daemon to erroneously go to sleep when
applications are consuming free pages at a high rate, leaving the
application threads blocked in VM_WAIT.
1) After completing an inactive queue scan, concurrent allocations may
have prevented the page daemon from meeting the v_free_min threshold.
In this case, the page daemon was going to sleep even when the
inactive queue contained plenty of clean pages.
2) pagedaemon_wakeup() may be called without the free queues lock held.
This can lead to a lost wakeup if a call occurs after the page daemon
clears vm_pageout_wanted but before going to sleep.
Fix 1) by ensuring that we start a new inactive queue scan immediately
if v_free_count < v_free_min after a prior scan.
Fix 2) by adding a new subroutine, pagedaemon_wait(), called from
vm_wait() and vm_waitpfault(). It wakes up the page daemon if either
vm_pages_needed or vm_pageout_wanted is false, and atomically sleeps
on v_free_count.
