rGc6d092b5107d: pmap: Keep PTI page table pages busy
Summary

vm_page_free() expects the page to be busied since it belongs to an
object. However, PTI PTPs are never busy, so if a page allocation
failure occurs while mapping user-accessible KVA regions, we panic.

This was effectively an omission from commit
e9ceb9dd110e04fc19729b4e9fb1c8bfbb8398a3. So just keep PTI page table
pages busy.

Hmm, actually this change might need to go a bit further: pmap_pti_free_page() should use vm_page_xbusy_claim(), at least in principle.

  • Claim xbusy before freeing PTI page table pages.
  • Remove some redundant assertions about ref_count, vm_page_unwire_noq() provides the same assertion.
