New Revision: 322970
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/322970

Log:
  Switching from a global hash table to per-vm_object radix tries for mapping
  vm_object page indices to on-disk swap space (r322913) has changed the
  synchronization requirements for a couple swap pager functions.  Whereas
  before a read lock on the vm object sufficed because of the global mutex
  on the hash table, a write lock on the vm object may now be required.  In
  particular, calls to vm_pager_page_unswapped() now require a write lock on
  the vm_object.  Consequently, vm_fault()'s fast path cannot call
  vm_pager_page_unswapped().  The swap space will have to be released at a
  later point.
