Re: kern/55268: tmpfs is slow



It's a little better now but there is still a major problem with lock
contention and context switch storms during fault processing because of a
mix of reader/writer holds on the uobject locks.

I guess it's something to do with tmpfs pages always being marked
UVM_PAGE_STATUS_UNKNOWN unless committed to swap and that affecting the
fault type.
