Details

Summary
  • vnode_pager_generic_getpages_done() must skip bogus_page.
  • vm_page_busy_acquire() must handle WAITFAIL before verifying the page's identity has not changed. If the caller does not provide this guarantee, it must use WAITFAIL or NOWAIT.

vm_page_valid() now asserts that the page is busy, but this is not the case for bogus_page. vm_pager_assert_in() contains the same hack.
