Event Timeline

Adapt to recent swap_pager.c change.

sys/vm/swap_pager.c
2147

Is this check still needed after the rest of the changes ?

sys/vm/vm_fault.c
276

Can you split this change and tryupgrade in swap_pager_unswapped into separate review ? I think that introduction of lookup() and removal of SWM_POP is obviously good change, but it should not be mixed with locking logic.

It looks we better drop swp_pager_meta_ctl() changes from this, D22324, and let D22409 take over the lookup implementation while dropping SWM_POP for simpler diff.
D22409 change is to optimize swap_pager_haspage() with additional searches after successful pindex lookup.

sys/vm/swap_pager.c
1116–1141

Given swp_pager_meta_ctl() with SWM_POP calls VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED, I expected VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED.
Is VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED call because of vm_falut.c change?

We need
We also need
swp_pager_freeswapspace(sb->d[m->pindex % SWAP_META_PAGES, 1);
before SWAPBLK_NONE assignment.

swp_pager_freeswapspace calls blist_free while swp_pager_free_empty_swblk calls uma_zfree.

Update after overlapping change.

I am somewhat curious how much does the upgrade succeed. Did you measured it ? E.g. the counters of total vm_pager_page_unswapped calls during buildworld vs. the number of times the lock needs to be upgraded vs. the number of successfull upgrades.

I measured it, and learned nothing. How should I test so that I might learn something.
