Combine two loops in ptrace_vm_entry into one, so that "entry->next" doesn't have to appear.

Correct an off-by-one error.

Update after r352433 committed changes to vm_map_entry_unlink that were part of this change.

How does this perform on the microbenchmarks that you've previously used?

Address reviewer comments. Replace another stray 'precessor' with 'predecessor'.

Rewrite comments describing vm_map_lookup_helper.

Discard parts that overlap/conflict with changes applied since this change was proposed.
Extend this change to completely eliminate the 'prev' field from vm_map_entry.

All existing callers guarantee that the page does not have a pre-existing dequeue pending.

Can you add a KASSERT to express that in the callee?

Seems plausible.

Make associated manpage fixes, including a clumsy attempt to address a savecore issue.

Update log messages to distinguish cases where trimming is aborted before it gets started. Currently, a stretch of log entries like:

Fix function naming mismatches in KASSERTS. In wire/unwire, make sure to clip after first entry found in transition.

Don't unlock on early exit from map_wire_locked.

Get rid of the remaining uses of vm_map_simplify_entry.

Update after checking in overlapping changes.

Tidy up comments.

Apply reviewer suggestions. Make another style(9) fix.

Use vm_map_try_merge_entries instead of vm_simplify_entry in vm_map_inherit.

In looking for the map entry that includes the page before page 0, use &map->header explicitly instead of using vm_map_lookup_entry.

In one comment, connection -> descriptor.

Rename vm_map_merge_entries to vm_map_try_merge_entries.

Fix broken log entry.

Stop updating blk before it might be freed.

Back out the changes that would launch more that one trim request from a single call to swp_pager_trimswapspace.

If trimming fails after blocks are allocated, free the blocks and reset the trimming cursor.

Don't let the trimmer sleep waiting for a resources. Don't invoke the trimmer while holding an object lock. Do let the trimmer launch as many delete ops as it wants, subject to resource constraints. Don't worry about trimming too little.

Add explanatory comment.

Fix Eflags typo.

Call swapon(2) after trimming, but before closing the trimming fd.

Make swapgeom_strategy() handle a BIO_DELETE just like a BIO_WRITE.
