used in the event that we can't malloc a buffer of the appropriate
size in the traditional way. rf_AllocIOBuffer() and rf_FreeIOBuffer()
deal with allocating/freeing these structures. These buffers are
stored in a list on the 'iobuf' list. iobuf_count keeps track of how
many buffers are available, and numEmergencyBuffers is the effective
"high-water" mark for the freelist. The buffers allocated by
rf_AllocIOBuffer() are stripe-unit sized, which is the maximum
size requested by any of the callers.
Add an iobufs entry to RF_DagHeader_s. Use it for keeping track of
buffers that get allocated from the free-list.
Add a "generic list" pool (VoidPointerListElement Pool) for elements
used to maintain a list of allocated memory. [It is somewhat less
than ideal to add another little pool to handle this...]
Teach rf_AllocBuffer() to use the new rf_AllocIOBuffer(). Modify
other Mallocs to use rf_AllocIOBuffer(), and to update dag_h->iobufs as
appropriate.
Update rf_FreeDAG() to handle cleanup of dag_h->iobufs.
While here, add some missing pool_destroy() calls for a number of pools.
With these changes, it should (in theory) be possible to swap on
RAID 5 sets again. That said, I've not had any success there yet --
but the last issue I saw at least wasn't in RAIDframe. :-}
[There is room for this code to become a bit more consise, but I
wanted to do a checkpoint here with something known to work :) ]
Provide rf_AllocDAGNode() and rf_FreeDAGNode() to handle
allocation/freeing.
- Introduce a "nodes" linked list of RF_DagNode_t's into the DAG header.
Initialize nodes in InitHdrNode(). Arrange for nodes cleanup in rf_FreeDAG().
- Add a "list_next" to RF_DagNode_t to keep track of nodes on the
above "nodes" list. (This is distinct from the "next" field of
RF_DagNode_t, which keeps track of the firing order of nodes.)
"list_next" gets used in the cleanup routines, and in traversing
through a set of nodes that belong to a particular set of nodes
(e.g. those belonging to xorNodes for a given DAG).
- use rf_AllocDAGNode() instead of mallocs of variable-sized arrays of
RF_DagNode_t's. Mostly mechanical changes to convert the DAG construction
from "access nodes via an array index" to "access nodes via a 'nextnode'
pointer".
- rework a couple of tricky spots where assumptions about the node order
was being abused.
- performance remains consistent with performance before these changes.
[Thanks to Simon Burge (simonb at you.know.where) for looking over
the mechanical changes to make sure I didn't biff anything.]
The compiler already knew that these chunks of code
could never be reached (since lu_flag was always 0), so it
already ignored them.
No functional changes.
can't set this to anything other than zero anyway. Shaves off another
900 bytes. lu_flag's days are numbered now, as are the middle
parameters of RF_CREATE_PARAM3.
was just an accident in the first place. Cleanup function decls and
a few comments. [ok.. so I wasn't going to fix this many.. but once
you're on a roll....]
- all freelists converted to pools
- initialization of structure members in certain cases where
code was relying on specific allocation and usage properties
to keep structures in a "known state" (that doesn't work with
pools!).
- make most pool_get() be "PR_WAITOK" until they can be analyzed
further, and/or have proper error handling added.
- all RF_Mallocs zero the space returned, so there is no difference
between RF_Calloc and RF_Malloc. In fact, all the RF_Calloc()'s
do is tend to do is get things horribly confused.
Make RF_Malloc() the "general memory allocator", with
RF_MallocAndAdd() the "general memory allocator with
allocation list".
- some of these RF_Malloc's et al. are destined to disappear.
- remove rf_rdp_freelist entirely (it's not used anywhere!)
- remove: #include "rf_freelist.h"
- to the files that were relying on the above, add: #include "rf_general.h"
- add: #include "rf_debugMem.h" to rf_shutdown.h to make it happy
about the loss of: #include "rf_freelist.h".
This shrinks an i386 GENERIC kernel by approx 5K. RAIDframe now
weighs in at about 162K on i386.
the stuff that used to live in rf_types.h, rf_raidframe.h, rf_layout.h,
rf_netbsd.h, rf_raid.h, rf_decluster,h, and a few other places.
Believe it or not, when this is all done, things will be cleaner.
No functional changes to RAIDframe.
out-dated comments, and other unneeded stuff. This helps prepare
for cleaning up the rest of the code, and adding new functionality.
No functional changes to the kernel code in this commit.
