to store disk quota usage and limits, integrated with ffs
metadata. Usage is checked by fsck_ffs (no more quotacheck)
and is covered by the WAPBL journal. Enabled with kernel
option QUOTA2 (added where QUOTA was enabled in kernel config files),
turned on with tunefs(8) on a per-filesystem
basis. mount_mfs(8) can also turn quotas on.

canonicalise several of the ipf option segments in various files
(this mostly means adding commented out IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK,
or adding commented or uncommented IPFILTER_LOG or IPFILTER_LOOKUP
option statements.)
i built about 20 of these kernels to check, but not all of them.
Merged by yours truly as the set of configs has changed quite a bit since
the PR was filed in 2003, and I may have missed some stuff. These changes
should probably be merged into other arches' configs; I'm not going to do
that now though.
tested with a DEBUG+DIAGNOSTIC+LOCKDEBUG kernel. To summerise NiLFS, i'll
repeat my posting to tech-kern here:
NiLFS stands for New implementation of Logging File System; LFS done
right they claim :) It is at version 2 now and is being developed by NTT, the
Japanese telecom company and recently put into the linux source tree. See
http://www.nilfs.org. The on-disc format is not completely frozen and i expect
at least one minor revision to come in time.
The benefits of NiLFS are build-in fine-grained checkpointing, persistent
snapshots, multiple mounts and very large file and media support. Every
checkpoint can be transformed into a snapshot and v.v. It is said to perform
very well on flash media since it is not overwriting pieces apart from a
incidental update of the superblock, but that might change. It is accompanied
by a cleaner to clean up the segments and recover lost space.
My work is not a port of the linux code; its a new implementation. Porting the
code would be more work since its very linux oriented and never written to be
ported outside linux. The goal is to be fully interchangable. The code is non
intrusive to other parts of the kernel. It is also very light-weight.
The current state of the code is read-only access to both clean and dirty
NiLFS partitions. On mounting a dirty partition it rolls forward the log to
the last checkpoint. Full read-write support is however planned!
Just as the linux code, mount_nilfs allows for the `head' to be mounted
read/write and allows multiple read-only snapshots/checkpoint mounts next to
it.
By allowing the RW mount at a different snapshot for read-write it should be
possible eventually to revert back to a previous state; i.e. try to upgrade a
system and being able to revert to the exact state prior to the upgrade.
Compared to other FS's its pretty light-weight, suitable for embedded use and
on flash media. The read-only code is currently 17kb object code on
NetBSD/i386. I doubt the read-write code will surpass the 50 or 60. Compared
this to FFS being 156kb, UDF being 84 kb and NFS being 130kb. Run-time memory
usage is most likely not very different from other uses though maybe a bit
higher than FFS.
in XEN2 and XEN3 kernels.
Xen really requires cgd, and as users are likely to get a domain given
to them without the possibility of recompiling a kernel for
themselves, we need to provide this by default.
As discussed with bouyer@, and with his OK.
so that our kernels works with newer xen-3 hypervisors; and correct the value
of VIRT_BASE for dom0.
Now that we can embed the values of KERNBASE and KERNTEXTOFF in the binary
for Xen, make the domU memory layout the same as dom0 for Xen3 (making
it the other way round doens't work; probably because of alignement
constraints in the hypervisor). The old domU layout is used if options
XEN_COMPAT_030001 is present in the kernel config file. Enable this the
domU kernel config files for now, in case someone wants to run a NetBSD
domU on an older Xen3 installation.
CPUs are now configured on mainbus only in dom0, and only to know about
their APIC id. virtual CPUs are attached to hypervisor as:
vcpu* at hypervisor?
and this is what's used as curcpu(). The kernel config files needs to be
updated for this, see XEN3_DOM0 or XEN3_DOMU for examples.
XEN3_DOM0 now has acpi, MPBIOS and ioapic by default.
Note that a Xen dom0 kernel doens't have access to the lapic.
Old hypercall call method still still available with
options XEN_NO_HYPERCALLPAGE
but this is disabled by default (xen-3.0.2-2 supports hypercall call page
just fine).
While there add a VIRT_BASE= string in __xen_guest section; from
Bastian Blank on port-xen@.
