Summary

As with vm_page_grab_pages(), we can avoid a radix tree lookup on each
page in the range by using the object memq.

To be clear, I'm happy with the concept, and in general eliminating vm_page_lookup() calls inside of loops.

Switching from vm_offset_t to vm_pindex_t is a pessimization for 32-bit architectures because it forces them to perform 64-bit arithmetic where before they used 32-bit arithmetic.

Just to be clear, the reason to use vm_page_next() rather than TAILQ_NEXT() here is that it will preserve the current behavior of panic'ing on a NULL pointer dereference if a page is missing.

markj edited edge metadata.
  • Let kmem_unback() use vm_offset_t instead of vm_pindex_t
  • Use a for-loop

Right. I had originally written

next = TAILQ_NEXT(m, listq);
MPASS(next->pindex == pindex);

and then I remembered that vm_page_next() exists.
