it. Also, the previous version had several cases where it grabbed
sched_lock before jumping to out: unneccessarily, so rework this a bit.

the run: label must be called with it held. Appropriate mtx_assert()'s

in 4.2-REL which I ripped out in -stable and -current when implementing the
low-memory handling solution. However, maxlaunder turns out to be the saving
grace in certain very heavily loaded systems (e.g. newsreader box). The new
algorithm limits the number of pages laundered in the first pageout daemon
pass. If that is not sufficient then suceessive will be run without any
limit.
Write I/O is now pipelined using two sysctls, vfs.lorunningspace and
vfs.hirunningspace. This prevents excessive buffered writes in the
disk queues which cause long (multi-second) delays for reads. It leads
to more stable (less jerky) and generally faster I/O streaming to disk
by allowing required read ops (e.g. for indirect blocks and such) to occur
without interrupting the write stream, amoung other things.
NOTE: eventually, filesystem write I/O pipelining needs to be done on a
per-device basis. At the moment it is globalized.
This is because calls with M_WAIT (now M_TRYWAIT) may not wait
forever when nothing is available for allocation, and may end up
returning NULL. Hopefully we now communicate more of the right thing
to developers and make it very clear that it's necessary to check whether
calls with M_(TRY)WAIT also resulted in a failed allocation.
M_TRYWAIT basically means "try harder, block if necessary, but don't
necessarily wait forever." The time spent blocking is tunable with
the kern.ipc.mbuf_wait sysctl.
M_WAIT is now deprecated but still defined for the next little while.
* Fix a typo in a comment in mbuf.h
* Fix some code that was actually passing the mbuf subsystem's M_WAIT to

commands have also been slightly updated as follows:
- Use ktr_idx to find the newest entry rather than walking the buffer
comparing timespecs. Timespecs are not always unique after the change
to use getnanotime(9).
- Add a new verbose setting. When the verbose setting is on, then the
timestamp is printed with each message. If KTR_EXTEND is on, then the
filename and line number are output as well. By default this option is
off. It can be turned on with the 'v' modifier passed to the 'tbuf'
and 'tall' commands. For the 'tnext' command, the 'v' modifier toggles
the verbose mode.

- Don't display anything for an empty entry that hasn't been used yet.

This is useful for blocking excessive logging, such as with the internal

- Call getnanotime() instead of nanotime() for the timestamp. nanotime()

ktr_tracepoint() recurses on itself until it exhausts the kernel stack.
Eventually this should change to use get_cyclecount() instead, but that
can't happen if get_cyclecount() is calling nanotime() instead of
getnanotime().
