Hi,

(1) Why we set a target for the inactive page queue? Who can manipulate
the pages on the inactive page queue? How to guarantee that a page won't
move from the inactive queue while paging out? 

(2) I find that the VM fault routine vm_fault() can call tsleep() to
sleep! This contradict my knowledge that interrupt routine can never go to
sleep. How can this happen?

Any help is appreciated.
