# Above each of the vop descriptors is a specification of the locking
# protocol used by each vop call. The first column is the name of
# the variable, the remaining three columns are in, out and error
# respectively. The "in" column defines the lock state on input,
# the "out" column defines the state on succesful return, and the
# "error" column defines the locking state on error exit.
#
# The locking value can take the following values:
# L: locked.
a whole bunch of changes to improve performance and robustness under load: - remove special treatment of pager_map mappings in pmaps. this is required now, since I've removed the globals that expose the address range. pager_map now uses pmap_kenter_pa() instead of pmap_enter(), so there's no longer any need to special-case it. - eliminate struct uvm_vnode by moving its fields into struct vnode. - rewrite the pageout path. the pager is now responsible for handling the high-level requests instead of only getting control after a bunch of work has already been done on its behalf. this will allow us to UBCify LFS, which needs tighter control over its pages than other filesystems do. writing a page to disk no longer requires making it read-only, which allows us to write wired pages without causing all kinds of havoc. - use a new PG_PAGEOUT flag to indicate that a page should be freed on behalf of the pagedaemon when it's unlocked. this flag is very similar to PG_RELEASED, but unlike PG_RELEASED, PG_PAGEOUT can be cleared if the pageout fails due to eg. an indirect-block buffer being locked. this allows us to remove the "version" field from struct vm_page, and together with shrinking "loan_count" from 32 bits to 16, struct vm_page is now 4 bytes smaller. - no longer use PG_RELEASED for swap-backed pages. if the page is busy because it's being paged out, we can't release the swap slot to be reallocated until that write is complete, but unlike with vnodes we don't keep a count of in-progress writes so there's no good way to know when the write is done. instead, when we need to free a busy swap-backed page, just sleep until we can get it busy ourselves. - implement a fast-path for extending writes which allows us to avoid zeroing new pages. this substantially reduces cpu usage. - encapsulate the data used by the genfs code in a struct genfs_node, which must be the first element of the filesystem-specific vnode data for filesystems which use genfs_{get,put}pages(). - eliminate many of the UVM pagerops, since they aren't needed anymore now that the pager "put" operation is a higher-level operation. - enhance the genfs code to allow NFS to use the genfs_{get,put}pages instead of a modified copy. - clean up struct vnode by removing all the fields that used to be used by the vfs_cluster.c code (which we don't use anymore with UBC). - remove kmem_object and mb_object since they were useless. instead of allocating pages to these objects, we now just allocate pages with no object. such pages are mapped in the kernel until they are freed, so we can use the mapping to find the page to free it. this allows us to remove splvm() protection in several places. The sum of all these changes improves write throughput on my decstation 5000/200 to within 1% of the rate of NetBSD 1.5 and reduces the elapsed time for "make release" of a NetBSD 1.5 source tree on my 128MB pc to 10% less than a 1.5 kernel took.

#% lookup dvp L ? ?
#% lookup vpp - L -
#
# XXX - the lookup locking protocol defies simple description and depends
# on the flags and operation fields in the (cnp) structure. Note
# especially that *vpp may equal dvp and both may be locked.
1994-06-08 15:28:29 +04:00
#
# More details:
# There are three types of lookups: ".", ".." (ISDOTDOT), and other.
# On successful lookup of ".", a reference is added to dvp, and it
# is returned in *vpp.
# To look up ISDOTDOT, dvp is unlocked, the ".." node is locked, and
# then dvp is relocked iff LOCKPARENT is set and this is the last
# component name (ISLASTCN set). This preserves the
# protocol of always locking nodes from root ("/") downward and
# prevents deadlock.
# Other lookups find the named node (creating the vnode if needed) and
# return it, locked, in *vpp.
# For non-"." lookups, if LOCKPARENT is not set or this was not the
# last component name, dvp is returned unlocked on a successful
# lookup.
# On failure, *vpp is NULL, and *dvp is left locked. If there was
# an error re-locking dvp (for instance in the ISDOTDOT case),
# the error is returned with PDIRUNLOCK set.
#
# *vpp is always locked on return if the operation succeeds.
# typically, if *vpp == dvp, you need to release twice, but unlock once.
#
# The PDIRUNLOCK flag is set when dvp is unlocked in the lookup routine.
# It signals the caller that dvp's lock state changed. It will
# be set on exit if either a successful lookup unlocked the
# parrent, or there was an error re-locking dvp in the ISDOTDOT case.
#
# See sys/sys/namei.h for a description of the SAVENAME and SAVESTART
# flags.

a whole bunch of changes to improve performance and robustness under load: - remove special treatment of pager_map mappings in pmaps. this is required now, since I've removed the globals that expose the address range. pager_map now uses pmap_kenter_pa() instead of pmap_enter(), so there's no longer any need to special-case it. - eliminate struct uvm_vnode by moving its fields into struct vnode. - rewrite the pageout path. the pager is now responsible for handling the high-level requests instead of only getting control after a bunch of work has already been done on its behalf. this will allow us to UBCify LFS, which needs tighter control over its pages than other filesystems do. writing a page to disk no longer requires making it read-only, which allows us to write wired pages without causing all kinds of havoc. - use a new PG_PAGEOUT flag to indicate that a page should be freed on behalf of the pagedaemon when it's unlocked. this flag is very similar to PG_RELEASED, but unlike PG_RELEASED, PG_PAGEOUT can be cleared if the pageout fails due to eg. an indirect-block buffer being locked. this allows us to remove the "version" field from struct vm_page, and together with shrinking "loan_count" from 32 bits to 16, struct vm_page is now 4 bytes smaller. - no longer use PG_RELEASED for swap-backed pages. if the page is busy because it's being paged out, we can't release the swap slot to be reallocated until that write is complete, but unlike with vnodes we don't keep a count of in-progress writes so there's no good way to know when the write is done. instead, when we need to free a busy swap-backed page, just sleep until we can get it busy ourselves. - implement a fast-path for extending writes which allows us to avoid zeroing new pages. this substantially reduces cpu usage. - encapsulate the data used by the genfs code in a struct genfs_node, which must be the first element of the filesystem-specific vnode data for filesystems which use genfs_{get,put}pages(). - eliminate many of the UVM pagerops, since they aren't needed anymore now that the pager "put" operation is a higher-level operation. - enhance the genfs code to allow NFS to use the genfs_{get,put}pages instead of a modified copy. - clean up struct vnode by removing all the fields that used to be used by the vfs_cluster.c code (which we don't use anymore with UBC). - remove kmem_object and mb_object since they were useless. instead of allocating pages to these objects, we now just allocate pages with no object. such pages are mapped in the kernel until they are freed, so we can use the mapping to find the page to free it. this allows us to remove splvm() protection in several places. The sum of all these changes improves write throughput on my decstation 5000/200 to within 1% of the rate of NetBSD 1.5 and reduces the elapsed time for "make release" of a NetBSD 1.5 source tree on my 128MB pc to 10% less than a 1.5 kernel took.
