The general trend is to remove it from all kernel interfaces and
this is a start. In case the calling lwp is desired, curlwp should
be used.
quick consensus on tech-kern
calls to ensure that the vnode lock state is as expected when the VOP
call is made. Modify vnode_if.src to set the expected state according
to the documenting lock table for each VOP. Modify vnode_if.sh to emit
the checks.
Notes:
- The checks are only performed if the vnode has the VLOCKSWORK bit
set. Some file systems (e.g. specfs) don't even bother with vnode
locks, so of course the checks will fail.
- We can't actually run with VNODE_LOCKDEBUG because there are so many
vnode locking problems, not the least of which is the "use SHARED for
VOP_READ()" issue, which screws things up for the entire call chain.
Inspired by similar changes in OpenBSD, but implemented differently.
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.

kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)

- 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.
file to write out. If both are 0, the whole file is synced. A filesystem
that is not able to sync out a range of a file may elect to sync
the whole file anyway.
a set of flags ("flags"). Two flags are defined, UPDATE_WAIT and
UPDATE_DIROP.
Under the old semantics, VOP_UPDATE would block if waitfor were set,
under the assumption that directory operations should be done
synchronously. At least LFS and FFS+softdep do not make this
assumption; FFS+softdep got around the problem by enclosing all relevant
calls to VOP_UPDATE in a "if(!DOINGSOFTDEP(vp))", while LFS simply
ignored waitfor, one of the reasons why NFS-serving an LFS filesystem
did not work properly.
Under the new semantics, the UPDATE_DIROP flag is a hint to the
fs-specific update routine that the call comes from a dirop routine, and
should be wait for, or not, accordingly.
Closes PR#8996.

Bump version number to 1.4O
to pass down a locked node. Modify union_copyup() to call VOP_CLOSE
locked nodes.
Also fix a bug in union_copyup() where a lock on the lower vnode would
only be released if VOP_OPEN didn't fail.
* Make 2nd and 3rd args timespecs, not timevals.
* Consistently pass a Boolean as the 4th arg (except in LFS).
Also, fix ffs_update() and lfs_update() to actually change the nsec fields.
* Change the argument names to vop_link so they actually make sense.
* Implement vop_link and vop_symlink for all file systems, so they do proper
cleanup.
* Require the file system to decide whether or not linking and unlinking of
directories is allowed, and disable it for all current file systems.
