ALWAYS call uvm_unloanpage() in cleanup - it's necessary even
in pipe_loan_free() case, since uvm_km_free() doesn't seem
to implicitly unloan the loaned pages
format specific.
Struct emul has a e_setregs hook back, which points to emulation-specific
setregs function. es_setregs of struct execsw now only points to
optional executable-specific setup function (this is only used for
ECOFF).
checks root privs, and a lower part that does the actual job. The lower part
will be called by the upcoming clockctl driver. Approved by Christos
Also fixed a few cosmetic things
- 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.
adjusted via sysctl. file systems that have hash tables which are
sized based on the value of this variable now resize those hash tables
using the new value. the max number of FFS softdeps is also recalculated.
convert various file systems to use the <sys/queue.h> macros for
their hash tables.
"earliest" firing callout in a bucket. This allows us to skip
the scan up the bucket if no callouts are due in the bucket.
A cheap O(1) hint update is done at callout insertion (if new callout
is earlier than hint) and removal (is bucket empty). A thorough
refresh of the hint is done when the bucket is traversed.
This doesn't matter much on machines with small values of hz
(e.g. i386), but on systems with large values of hz (e.g. Alpha),
it has a definite positive effect.
Also, keep the callwheel stats in evcnts, so that you can view them
with "vmstat -e".
guard pages. Can only debug one malloc type at a time, and nothing
larger than 1 page. But can be useful for debugging certain types
of "data modified on freelist" type problems.
Modified from code in OpenBSD.
the stack, so that it can be modified.
- pass the error code in the exit code in addition to aborting.
- kill the second exit1() call; it does not make any sense.
ctor/dtor feature, it's still faster to allocate from the cache groups
than it is from the pool (cache groups are analogous to "magazines"
in the Solaris SLAB allocator).
of some selective pieces. This fixes problem with NEW_PIPE in kernels
with DEBUG option, reported via e-mail by Chuck Silvers.
sys_pipe(): g/c fdp, provide it at the chunk of FreeBSD code where it's used
init vfs so it can the size into account when creating its hash lists.
This means that for a 2GB system, it'll have a default of 65536 buckets
instead of 2048 and when you have 200,000+ vnodes that makes a significant
difference.
disabled loans for writes (a.k.a "direct write"), oops; use uio->uio_resid
for the check instead
don't bother updating uio->uio_offset in pipe_direct_write(), it's not used
by upper layers anyway
arrange things as needed. Unfortunately, the check in sockargs()
have to stay, since 4.3BSD bind(2), connect(2) and sendto(2) were
not versioned at the time :(
This code was tested to pass regression tests.
