318 	 * rate should be set based on the number pages that can be
319 	 * scanned per sec using ~10% of processor time.  Since this
320 	 * value depends on the processor, MMU, Mhz etc., it is
321 	 * difficult to determine it in a generic manner for all
322 	 * architectures.
323 	 *
324 	 * Instead of trying to determine the number of pages scanned
325 	 * per sec for every processor, fastscan is set to be the smaller
326 	 * of 1/2 of memory or MAXHANDSPREADPAGES and the sampling
327 	 * time is limited to ~4% of processor time.
328 	 *
329 	 * Setting fastscan to be 1/2 of memory allows pageout to scan
330 	 * all of memory in ~2 secs.  This implies that user pages not
331 	 * accessed within 1 sec (assuming, handspreadpages == fastscan)
332 	 * can be reclaimed when free memory is very low.  Stealing pages
333 	 * not accessed within 1 sec seems reasonable and ensures that
334 	 * active user processes don't thrash.
335 	 *
336 	 * Smaller values of fastscan result in scanning fewer pages
337 	 * every second and consequently pageout may not be able to free
338 	 * sufficient memory to maintain the minimum threshold.  Larger
339 	 * values of fastscan result in scanning a lot more pages which
340 	 * could lead to thrashing and higher CPU usage.
341 	 *
342 	 * Fastscan needs to be limited to a maximum value and should not
343 	 * scale with memory to prevent pageout from consuming too much
344 	 * time for scanning on slow CPU's and avoid thrashing, as a
345 	 * result of scanning too many pages, on faster CPU's.
346 	 * The value of 64 Meg was chosen for MAXHANDSPREADPAGES
347 	 * (the upper bound for fastscan) based on the average number
348 	 * of pages that can potentially be scanned in ~1 sec (using ~4%
349 	 * of the CPU) on some of the following machines that currently
350 	 * run Solaris 2.x:
351 	 *
352 	 *			average memory scanned in ~1 sec
353 	 *
354 	 *	25 Mhz SS1+:		23 Meg
355 	 *	LX:			37 Meg
356 	 *	50 Mhz SC2000:		68 Meg
357 	 *
358 	 *	40 Mhz 486:		26 Meg
359 	 *	66 Mhz 486:		42 Meg
360 	 *
361 	 * When free memory falls just below lotsfree, the scan rate
362 	 * goes from 0 to slowscan (i.e., pageout starts running).  This
363 	 * transition needs to be smooth and is achieved by ensuring that
364 	 * pageout scans a small number of pages to satisfy the transient
365 	 * memory demand.  This is set to not exceed 100 pages/sec (25 per
366 	 * wakeup) since scanning that many pages has no noticible impact
367 	 * on system performance.
368 	 *
369 	 * In addition to setting fastscan and slowscan, pageout is
370 	 * limited to using ~4% of the CPU.  This results in increasing
371 	 * the time taken to scan all of memory, which in turn means that
372 	 * user processes have a better opportunity of preventing their
373 	 * pages from being stolen.  This has a positive effect on
374 	 * interactive and overall system performance when memory demand
375 	 * is high.
376 	 *
377 	 * Thus, the rate at which pages are scanned for replacement will
378 	 * vary linearly between slowscan and the number of pages that
379 	 * can be scanned using ~4% of processor time instead of varying
380 	 * linearly between slowscan and fastscan.
381 	 *
382 	 * Also, the processor time used by pageout will vary from ~1%
383 	 * at slowscan to ~4% at fastscan instead of varying between
384 	 * ~1% at slowscan and ~10% at fastscan.
385 	 *
386 	 * The values chosen for the various VM parameters (fastscan,
387 	 * handspreadpages, etc) are not universally true for all machines,
388 	 * but appear to be a good rule of thumb for the machines we've
389 	 * tested.  They have the following ranges:
390 	 *
391 	 *	cpu speed:	20 to 70 Mhz
392 	 *	page size:	4K to 8K
393 	 *	memory size:	16M to 5G
394 	 *	page scan rate:	4000 - 17400 4K pages per sec
395 	 *
396 	 * The values need to be re-examined for machines which don't
397 	 * fall into the various ranges (e.g., slower or faster CPUs,
398 	 * smaller or larger pagesizes etc) shown above.
399 	 *
400 	 * On an MP machine, pageout is often unable to maintain the
401 	 * minimum paging thresholds under heavy load.  This is due to
402 	 * the fact that user processes running on other CPU's can be
403 	 * dirtying memory at a much faster pace than pageout can find
404 	 * pages to free.  The memory demands could be met by enabling
405 	 * more than one CPU to run the clock algorithm in such a manner
406 	 * that the various clock hands don't overlap.  This also makes
407 	 * it more difficult to determine the values for fastscan, slowscan
408 	 * and handspreadpages.
409 	 *
410 	 * The swapper is currently used to free up memory when pageout
411 	 * is unable to meet memory demands by swapping out processes.
412 	 * In addition to freeing up memory, swapping also reduces the
413 	 * demand for memory by preventing user processes from running
414 	 * and thereby consuming memory.
