between creation of a file descriptor and close(2) when using kernel
assisted threads. What we do is stick descriptors in the table, but
mark them as "larval". This causes essentially everything to treat
it as a non-existent descriptor, except for fdalloc(), which sees a
filled slot so that it won't (incorrectly) allocate it again. When
a descriptor is fully constructed, the code that has constructed it
marks it as "mature" (which actually clears the "larval" flag), and
things continue to work as normal.
While here, gather all the code that gets a descriptor from the table
into a fd_getfile() function, and call it, rather than having the
same (sometimes incorrect) code copied all over the place.
some time ago. The mistake was to check that the page was not
referenced since the last active scan before moving it to inactive.
Now we just clear reference and move it to inacive (which is where
the second clock hand sweep occurs).
dynamically re-coloring pages; as machine-dependent code discovers
the size of the system's caches, it may call uvm_page_recolor() with
the new number of colors to use. If the new mumber of colors is
smaller (or equal to) the current number of colors, then uvm_page_recolor()
is a no-op.
The system defaults to one bucket if machine-dependent code does not
initialize uvmexp.ncolors before uvm_page_init() is called.
Note that the number of color bins should be initialized to something
reasonable as early as possible -- for many early memory allocations,
we live with the consequences of the page choice for the lifetime of
the boot.
each vm_page structure. Add a VM_MDPAGE_INIT() macro to init this
data when pages are initialized by UVM. These macros are mandatory,
but ports may #define them to nothing if they are not needed/used.
This deprecates struct pmap_physseg. As a transitional measure,
allow a port to #define PMAP_PHYSSEG so that it can continue to
use it until its pmap is converted to use VM_MDPAGE_MEMBERS.
Use all this stuff to eliminate a lot of extra work in the Alpha
pmap module (it's smaller and faster now). Changes to other pmap
modules will follow.
algorithm (Solaris calls this "Bin Hopping").
This implementation currently relies on MD code to define a
constant defining the number of buckets. This will change
reasonably soon (MD code will be able to dynamically size
the bucket array).

- pmap_remove()

These calls are relatively conservative. It may be possible to
optimize these a little more.
which have pmap_steal_memory(). This is to reduce the API differences
between pmaps that implement pmap_steal_memory() and pmaps which do
not.
Note that pmap_steal_memory() needs to adjust *vstartp and/or
*vendp only if it used addresses within the range provided to UVM
via the pmap_virtual_space() call. I.e. it is not necessary to do
so in any current pmap_steal_memory() implementation.
on locking rules to make code easier to understand. locking in
uvm_loananon still needs some work on fringe cases where anon's page
is actually on loan from a uobj.
if uvm_loanentry() returned 0; otherwise, the unlocking would already
have been done by uvmfault_unlockall() call in uvm_loanentry().

the process dsize for both positive and negative changes. Since atop()
casts its result to a paddr_t (which is unsigned), negative changes in
process data size resulted in unrealistic dsizes being set. Use
"dsize -= atop(-diff)" for a negative diffs. Fixes the "Impossible
process sizes" mentioned on current-users.
Unsigned cast catch and much debugging help from Martin Laubach.
the mapping is:
VM_PAGER_OK 0
VM_PAGER_BAD <unused>
VM_PAGER_FAIL <unused>
VM_PAGER_PEND 0 (see below)
VM_PAGER_ERROR EIO
VM_PAGER_AGAIN EAGAIN
VM_PAGER_UNLOCK EBUSY
VM_PAGER_REFAULT ERESTART
for async i/o requests, it used to be possible for the request to
be convert to sync, and the pager would return VM_PAGER_OK or VM_PAGER_PEND
to indicate whether the caller should perform post-i/o cleanup.
this is no longer allowed; pagers must now return 0 to indicate that
the async i/o was successfully started, and the caller never needs to
worry about doing the post-i/o cleanup.
each of the basic types (anonymous data, executable image, cached files)
and prevent the pagedaemon from reusing a given page if that would reduce
the count of that type of page below a sysctl-setable minimum threshold.
the thresholds are controlled via three new sysctl tunables:
vm.anonmin, vm.vnodemin, and vm.vtextmin. these tunables are the
percentages of pageable memory reserved for each usage, and we do not allow
the sum of the minimums to be more than 95% so that there's always some
memory that can be reused.
failed because we failed to acquire some resource needed to initiate
the pageout (such as failing to lock an indirect buffer) rather than
a hard i/o error. in this case we just want to reactivate the page(s)
so that we'll try to write them again later.
while I'm here, clean up some DIAGNOSTIC code.
space is already torn down in uvmspace_free() when the vmspace
refrence count reaches 0. Move the shmexit() call into uvmspace_free().
Note that there is a beneficial side-effect of deferring the unmap
to uvmspace_free() -- on systems where TLB invalidations are
particularly expensive, the unmapping of the address space won't
have to cause TLB invalidations; uvmspace_free() is going to be
run in a context other than the exiting process's, so the "pmap is
active" test will evaluate to FALSE in the pmap module.
entry in the map. the old code would walk around the end of the linked list,
through the header entry, and keep going from the first map entry until it
found a gap in the map, at which point it would return an error. if the map
had no gaps then it would loop forever. reported by k-abe@cs.utah.edu.
while I'm here, clean up this function a bit.
also, use MIN() instead of min(), since the latter takes arguments of
type "int" but we're passing it values of type "vaddr_t", which can be
a larger size.
Mach VM's now. Specific changes:
- Pages now need not have all of their mappings removed before being
put on the inactive list. They only need to have the "referenced"
attribute cleared. This makes putting pages onto the inactive list
much more efficient. In order to eliminate redundant clearings of
"refrenced", callers of uvm_pagedeactivate() must now do this
themselves.
- When checking the "modified" attribute for a page (for clearing
PG_CLEAN), make sure to only do it if PG_CLEAN is currently set on
the page (saves a potentially expensive pmap operation).
- When scanning the inactive list, if a page is referenced, reactivate
it (this part was actually added in uvm_pdaemon.c,v 1.27). This
now works properly now that pages on the inactive list are allowed to
have mappings.
- When scanning the inactive list and considering a page for freeing,
remove all mappings, and then check the "modified" attribute if the
page is marked PG_CLEAN.
- When scanning the active list, if the page was referenced since its
last sweep by the scanner, don't deactivate it. (This part was
actually added in uvm_pdaemon.c,v 1.28.)
These changes greatly improve interactive performance during
moderate to high memory and I/O load.

And fix the problems these have uncovered:
amap_cow_now(): Lock the new anon after allocating it, and unref and
unlock it (rather than lock!) before freeing it in case
of an error condition. This should fix a problem reported
by Dan Carosone using cdrecord on an i386 MP kernel.
uvm_fault(): Case1B -- Lock the new anon afer allocating it, and unlock
it later when we unlock the old anon.
Case2 -- Lock the new anon after allocating it, and unlock
it later by passing it to uvmfault_unlockall() (we set anon
to NULL if we're not doing a promote fault).
pending i/os to complete before returning even if PGO_CLEANIT is not
specified. this fixes two races:
(1) NFS write rpcs vs. setattr operations which truncate the file.
if the truncate doesn't wait for pending writes to complete then
a later write rpc completion can undo the effect of the truncate.
this problem has been reported by several people.
(2) write i/os in disk-based filesystem vs. the disk block being
freed by a truncation, allocated to a new file, and written
again with different data. if the disk driver reorders the requests
and does the second i/o first, the old data will clobber the new,
corrupting the new file. I haven't heard of anyone experiencing
this problem yet, but it's fixed now anyway.
doesn't have the exec bit set, we need to have PROT_EXEC set
in order for some expected mmap/mprotect behavior to work, so
do the last bit slightly differently: if udv_attach() fails, and
the protection (NOT maxprot) doens't include PROT_EXEC, then clear
PROT_EXEC from maxprot and try udv_attach() again.
Sigh, mmap really needs to be rototilled.
in the mmap() call. maxprot is used to create device mappings,
and always including PROT_EXEC causes the mapping to fail on the Alpha

instruction fetch from there is disallowed).
use queue.h macros and KASSERT().
address amap offsets in pages instead of bytes.
make amap_ref() and amap_unref() take an amap, offset and length

this allows raidframe swap devices to be marked clean.

it references p1's.
- uvm_fork(): Make sure the child's vmspace is NULL before calling
uvmspace_share() (the child doens't have one already in this case).
These changes do not change the behavior for the current use of
uvmspace_share() (vfork(2)), but make it possible for an already
running process (such as a kernel thread) to properly attach to
another process's address space.
to the contents of the hint in the map, and the hint saved in the
map only if the two values match. When an unconditional save is
required, the "check" value passed should be map->hint (and the
compiler will optimize the test away). When deleting a map entry,
the new SAVE_HINT() will only change the hint if the entry being
deleted was the hint value (thus preserving any meaningful hint
that may have been there previously, rather than stomping on it).
- Add a missing hint update when deleting the map entry in
uvm_map_entry_unlink(). This is the fix for kern/11125, from
ITOH Yasufumi <itohy@netbsd.org>.
`struct vmspace' has a new field `vm_minsaddr' which is the user TOS.
PS_STRINGS is deprecated in favor of curproc->p_pstr which is derived
from `vm_minsaddr'.
Bump the kernel version number.
that the page being zero'd was not completed and that page zeroing
should be aborted. This may be used by machine-dependent code doing
slow page access to reduce the latency of running a process that has
become runnable while in the middle of doing a slow page zero.

to specify a minimum power-of-two alignment of the region.
How we ever got along without this for so long is beyond me.
When it wasn't (which could happen on a 4Mb machine with 32kb pages),
uvm_pagealloc_strat could refuse to allocate user memory, while the pagedaemon
didn't think it was worth freeing any more, resulting in the system seizing up.
