- 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.
of nfs_niothreads instead of hard-coding 4.
This change has the advantage that the default can be specified
at compile time. If the root filesystem is mounted over NFS
we don't have an opportunity to use the syscall to limit the
number of threads. Useful on small-memory machines.
the value of "next-server" from the DHCP (or BOOTP) reply. This is
not the DHCP server's IP address (except by chance), so instead of
"server" make it print "next-server".
prevents us losing the locked state of the old vnode.
fvdl thinks the old vnode is certain to be locked at this point. I've put in
a KASSERT to be on the safe side.
This seems to fix PR kern/12661.
vfs_busy'ing just before the dounmount() call. This is to avoid
sleeping with the mountlist_slock held -- but we must acquire
syncer_lock before vfs_busy because the syncer itself uses
syncer_lock -> vfs_busy locking order.
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.
- in the cases where we skip over the i/o loop, increment npages by ridx
so that when the cleanup code starts processing the pgs array at index 0
it'll actually process all of the pages.
- process the PG_RELEASED flag when unbusying pages.
- add some missing MP locking.
- use MIN() and MAX() instead of min() and max() since the latter are
functions which take arguments of type "int" but we call them with
values of type "off_t", so the values could be truncated.
problem reported by msaitoh@netbsd.org. NOTE: These are marked XXXUBC
since the code that allocates the bufs is new with UBC, but it may be
the case that bp->b_proc needs to be intialized to curproc (it's used
in a call to nfs_sigintr()).
- fix math when skipping writing pages that just need a commit.
- clear the needcommit stuff and PG_RDONLY flags on pages returned for
overwrite requests as well as for normal write faults.
- bail out of nfs_write() if we get an error.
- remove a bogus attempt to clean up after failed uiomove()s.
- bring over a workaround for a lock-ordering problem from the genfs code.
- add some missing MP locking.
passed it down to the appropriate usrreq function, and this
allows usage for contexts that need to be explicitly different
from curproc (like in the NFS code when binding to a reserved port).
if we do this for VBLK vnodes which are in use by softdep mounts,
brelse() will mark the buffer B_INVAL as well, which makes the
softdep code very unhappy.
havoc if the server erroneously uses the same filehandle for
different files. This changes back revision 1.28; the PR that
that revision fixed doesn't apply anymore, it has been verified
not to be a problem with this change.

Do away with nfs_writebp completely, it's not needed anymore.
Keep an eye on the range of a file that needs to be committed, and
do it in heaps.
that required to support NFSv2 mounts. Not finished yet, but already
provides some 44k of saving in code size on arm26. More savings, and some
documentation, are still to come.
