New Revision: 331325
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/331325

Log:
  Elide the object lock in the common case in vfs_vmio_unwire().
  
  The object lock was only needed when attempting to free B_DIRECT
  buffer pages, and for testing for invalid pages (and freeing them
  if so). Handle the latter by instead moving invalid pages near the head
  of the inactive queue, where they will be reclaimed quickly.
