- 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.
that fails, just try to recycle a vnode. If we can't allocate or
recycle, issue a warning, sleep a bit, and try the whole thing
again.
This prevents us from blocking forever if we want to use a very large
number of vnodes, but don't have {memory,kva} resources from which to
allocate them.
has VXLOCK set - it's already being vgoned, most likely by one of our
callers. If we call vgone, we can end up sleeping against ourself
with VXLOCK set - we'll start the race for root.

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.
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.
between write i/os in a 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.
tsleep() instead of DELAY. Also, keep trying flushing buffers when the
number of dirty buffers decreases (20 rounds may not be enouth for a
very large buffer cache).
Using tsleep instead of delay gives a chance to others kernel threads to run,
which is needed for raidframe. With this change I've not been able to
reproduce the 'dirty buffer not flushed' problem with raidframe.
use that to inform about way to raise current limit when we reach maximum
number of processes, descriptors or vnodes

- add a new global variable, doing_shutdown, which is nonzero if
vfs_shutdown() or panic() have been called.
- in panic, set RB_NOSYNC if doing_shutdown is already set on entry
so we don't reenter vfs_shutdown if we panic'ed there.
- in vfs_shutdown, don't use proc0's process for sys_sync unless
curproc is NULL.
- in lockmgr, attribute successful locks to proc0 if doing_shutdown
&& curproc==NULL, and panic if we can't get the lock right away; avoids the
spurious lockmgr DIAGNOSTIC panic from the ddb reboot command.
- in subr_pool, deal with curproc==NULL in the doing_shutdown case.
- in mfs_strategy, bitbucket writes if doing_shutdown, so we don't
wedge waiting for the mfs process.
- in ltsleep, treat ((curproc == NULL) && doing_shutdown) like the
panicstr case.
Appears to fix: kern/9239, kern/10187, kern/9367.
May also fix kern/10122.
in vfs_detach(). vfs_done may free global filesystem's resources,
typically those allocated in respective filesystem's init function.
Needed so those filesystems which went in via LKM have a chance to
clean after themselves before unloading. This fixes random panics
when LKM for filesystem using pools was loaded and unloaded several
times.
For each leaf filesystem, add appropriate vfs_done routine.
mode and ownership bits are flushed to disk before the vnode is
reclaimed.
The check, introduced in the softdep merge, assumes that if no blocks
are dirty, no file data *or metadata* needs to be flushed to disk. This
is true of ffs, but is not true of lfs, and may not be true of other
filesystems.
Tested by myself and Bill Squier <groo@cs.stevens-tech.edu>.
(Previously buffers could be marked dirty by the cleaner, and possibly by
other means.)
Also check for softdep mount in vfs_shutdown before trying to bawrite
buffers, since other filesystems don't need it and lfs doesn't bawrite.
