--- Comment #1 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> ---
Out of curiosity, how did you come to notice this behaviour?

I think the solution you proposed would solve the problem.  We would want to
ensure that the restrictions specified in vm_object_advice_applies() are
checked before modifying the object chain.  In particular, MADV_FREE only m=
arks
pages clean at the MI layer if the object is anonymous and is mapped into no
more than one address space.  For OBJT_VNODE mappings, MADV_FREE does not c=
lear
the MI dirty bits or requeue the page, but it will clear the dirty bit from
PTEs in the specified range.
