Summary

vm_page_acquire_unlocked() relies heavily on type-stability of vm_page
structures, and assumes that the listq linkage pointers always point to
a vm_page or are NULL. QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRASH breaks that assumption.

Isn't it too fragile still ? What if prev->q reused for something yet again ?

That is handled by the subsequent checks, if I understood your question correctly.

I mean that there were attempts to reuse m->q for pages not in the object queue, and there probably would be more. I believe it is somewhat mitigated by the requirement that prev is either busy or wired, this is why I agreed with the proposed patch.
