rGc296ac7e0f1c: vm: Optimize page rename

Summary

Rename vm_page_rename() to vm_page_iter_rename() to reflect its reimplementation using iterators, and pass the page to this function rather than spending clock cycles looking it up. Change its return value from 0/1 to a bool.

Comments in vm_reserv.c need to be updated to reflect this change.

If you have measured the improvement, how big is it?

sys/vm/vm_page.c
2072	Perhaps further clarify that failure happens only when memory allocation fails. In particular, if a page already exists at the destination, we panic. I'd also clarify that the page is passed directly only as an optimization.
2096	I believe we can strengthen this to `KASSERT((m->ref_count & VPRC_OBJREF) != 0`, as in vm_page_insert_radixdone() for example.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Thu, Nov 28, 5:14 PM

sys/vm/vm_page.c
2072	I didn't describe passing the page as being an optimization as I'm afraid that doing so could be misinterpreted as meaning that NULL can be passed.

Update in response to reviewer comments.

sys/vm/vm_page.c
2075	I don't see a panic anywhere.
sys/vm/vm_reserv.c
681	'm' and 'new_object' are now the second and third arguments to vm_page_iter_rename, so you should be either less precise ("vm_page_iter_rename(...)") or more accurate ("vm_page_iter_rename(&old_pages, m, new_object. ...)").

The conversion to iterators made vm_object_collapse_scan() and vm_object_split() slower by 14% and 5-6%, respectively. This change eliminates about half of that slowdown in each case.
