- remove GOP_SIZE_READ/GOP_SIZE_WRITE flags.
they have not been used since the change.
- ufs_balloc_range: remove code which has been no-op since the change.
thanks Konrad Schroder for explaining the original intention of the code.
- ffs_gop_size: don't extend past eof, in the case of GOP_SIZE_MEM.
otherwise genfs_getpages end up to allocate pages past eof unnecessarily.
- use LK_CANRECURSE instead of LK_RECURSEFAIL.
PR/32435 from Valeriy E. Ushakov.
- panic explicitly if the parent directory has been revoked.

to pool_init. Untouched pools are ones that either in arch-specific
code, or aren't initialiased during initial system startup.
Convert struct session, ucred and lockf to pools.
in many cases, GETATTR RPCs here is redundant because the caller has
postop_attr. instead, make sure the resulted vnode have a valid
attribute in nfs_lookup().
already being locked by our thread. VOP_INACTIVATE() makes no
statement as to the lock state of the parent, yet this code assumed
we had it unlocked.
With this change, we let vn_lock() fail with EDEADLK if we already
have the parent locked. We then handle the rename cleanup, and on
the way out just vrele() the parent vnode, not vput() it.
Fixes a case seen by Steve Woodford at Wasabisystems dot com where
we'd panic while running a pkgsrc configure test that verified
fork() functionality. I expect the problem is a result of the recent
exit() changes and the performance of the machines he tested on.
Specifically we would crash during an nfs_remove(). As best I can
tell, when nfs_remove() tested to see if we should rename or we
should remove, v_usecount was > 1 and vattr.va_nlink was 1. Thus
we did the sillyrename in nfs_remove(). However by the time we got
down to the vput(vp), v_usecount had dropped to one and thus vput()
triggered the VOP_INACTIVATE() code path. nfs_inactive() tries to
lock the parent to undo the sillyrename, and deadlocks as we still
have it locked.
is opened. An open file can always be read from and/or written to,
depending on how it was opened.
Therefore, the read/write/commit RPCs should never return EACCESS,
as they are only performed on files that have been successfully opened
already.
This change improves the current situation and works in most cases.
It simply always uses the most recently known owner/group of the file,
iff the authentication mechanism is AUTH_UNIX (in other cases, the
creds for a succesful open are used, but note that no other cases
are currently implemented).
A retry mechanism can be used to catch a few more cases, but this is
a good improvement for now.
* Remove the "lwp *" argument that was added to vget(). Turns out
that nothing actually used it!
* Remove the "lwp *" arguments that were added to VFS_ROOT(), VFS_VGET(),
and VFS_FHTOVP(); all they did was pass it to vget() (which, as noted
above, didn't use it).
* Remove all of the "lwp *" arguments to internal functions that were added
just to appease the above.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
(there are still some details to work out) but expect that to go
away soon. To support these basic changes (creation of lfs_putpages,
lfs_gop_write, mods to lfs_balloc) several other changes were made, to
wit:
* Create a writer daemon kernel thread whose purpose is to handle page
writes for the pagedaemon, but which also takes over some of the
functions of lfs_check(). This thread is started the first time an
LFS is mounted.
* Add a "flags" parameter to GOP_SIZE. Current values are
GOP_SIZE_READ, meaning that the call should return the size of the
in-core version of the file, and GOP_SIZE_WRITE, meaning that it
should return the on-disk size. One of GOP_SIZE_READ or
GOP_SIZE_WRITE must be specified.
* Instead of using malloc(...M_WAITOK) for everything, reserve enough
resources to get by and use malloc(...M_NOWAIT), using the reserves if
necessary. Use the pool subsystem for structures small enough that
this is feasible. This also obsoletes LFS_THROTTLE.
And a few that are not strictly necessary:
* Moves the LFS inode extensions off onto a separately allocated
structure; getting closer to LFS as an LKM. "Welcome to 1.6O."
* Unified GOP_ALLOC between FFS and LFS.
* Update LFS copyright headers to correct values.
* Actually cast to unsigned in lfs_shellsort, like the comment says.
* Keep track of which segments were empty before the previous
checkpoint; any segments that pass two checkpoints both dirty and
empty can be summarily cleaned. Do this. Right now lfs_segclean
still works, but this should be turned into an effectless
compatibility syscall.
It will never get back... it will not be found in nfs_nget, a new
nfsnode+vnode is allocated instead, which causes a node leak, and
also makes the mountpointness of the vnode to be forgotten, breaking
filesystem crossing lookups through this vnode.
into nfs_inactive, this is a better place for it.
This doesn't actually solve the actual problem, which appears to be a race
condition with unmounting and vnode recycling somewhere, but it fixes
it in the sense that nfs_reclaim will not reference a bad v_mount anymore.
malloc types into a structure, a pointer to which is passed around,
instead of an int constant. Allow the limit to be adjusted when the
malloc type is defined, or with a function call, as suggested by
Jonathan Stone.
clean and without writable mappings. if we try to flush dirty pages past
EOF to the server when NMODIFIED is clear, we'll update the attrcache before
doing the write, which will try to free the pages past EOF and deadlock.
to deal with this, we write-protect pages before we send them to the server,
and restrict ourselves to creating read-only mappings if NMODIFIED isn't set.
score another one for enami.
deal with shortages of the VM maps where the backing pages are mapped
(usually kmem_map). Try to deal with this:
* Group all information about the backend allocator for a pool in a
separate structure. The pool references this structure, rather than
the individual fields.
* Change the pool_init() API accordingly, and adjust all callers.
* Link all pools using the same backend allocator on a list.
* The backend allocator is responsible for waiting for physical memory
to become available, but will still fail if it cannot callocate KVA
space for the pages. If this happens, carefully drain all pools using
the same backend allocator, so that some KVA space can be freed.
* Change pool_reclaim() to indicate if it actually succeeded in freeing
some pages, and use that information to make draining easier and more
efficient.
* Get rid of PR_URGENT. There was only one use of it, and it could be
dealt with by the caller.

frank's scheme, with one new twist: don't wait until we've totally run
out of free pages before committing, but instead notice when we've built
up a largish range of uncommitted pages and commit only the older half of
the range, which is likely to already be on disk on the server.
hash32_buf() to obtain a 32 bit hash. On some tests I ran I obtained
a 30x improvement in hash distribution and a 6x reduction in time spent
in nfs_nget().
- 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.
