- implement SIMPLEQ_REMOVE(head, elm, type, field). whilst it's O(n),
this mirrors the functionality of SLIST_REMOVE() (the other
singly-linked list type) and FreeBSD's STAILQ_REMOVE()
- remove the unnecessary elm arg from SIMPLEQ_REMOVE_HEAD().
this mirrors the functionality of SLIST_REMOVE_HEAD() (the other
singly-linked list type) and FreeBSD's STAILQ_REMOVE_HEAD()
- remove notes about SIMPLEQ not supporting arbitrary element removal
- use SIMPLEQ_FOREACH() instead of home-grown for loops
- use SIMPLEQ_EMPTY() appropriately
- use SIMPLEQ_*() instead of accessing sqh_first,sqh_last,sqe_next directly
- reorder manual page; be consistent about how the types are listed
- other minor cleanups
deal with shortages of the VM maps where the backing pages are mapped
(usually kmem_map). Try to deal with this:
* Group all information about the backend allocator for a pool in a
separate structure. The pool references this structure, rather than
the individual fields.
* Change the pool_init() API accordingly, and adjust all callers.
* Link all pools using the same backend allocator on a list.
* The backend allocator is responsible for waiting for physical memory
to become available, but will still fail if it cannot callocate KVA
space for the pages. If this happens, carefully drain all pools using
the same backend allocator, so that some KVA space can be freed.
* Change pool_reclaim() to indicate if it actually succeeded in freeing
some pages, and use that information to make draining easier and more
efficient.
* Get rid of PR_URGENT. There was only one use of it, and it could be
dealt with by the caller.

the number of partitions is > OLDMAXPARTITIONS. This is better
than silently truncating the label (don't want to silently throw
away partitions when using an old disklabel binary on a label with

ccd component partition. Note that the ccd driver still allows partitions
of any types as components since an on-disk BSD disklabel isn't available
on some port.
default, as the copyright on the main file (ffs_softdep.c) is such

in. This code also contains the trickle syncer.
Bump version number to 1.4O
a fifo of component buffers, and free them if ccdbuffer() fails. Once
all component buffers are build, run through the fifo and fire off the
requests to the components.
better mirroring solution.
The ccd driver will stay, even in the presence of RAIDframe, for applications
where just RAID-0 is needed (much smaller code footprint).
- If the partition was previously open, don't do the open/close steps.
(Sync with other disk drivers.)
- foosize()'s return value is in DEV_BSIZE units; adjust the size obtained
from the disklabel accordingly.
- Keep a freelist of component buffer headers, defaulting
to 8 headers per component (tunable with the CCDNBUF
kernel compile option).
- When allocating a component buffer, try to pull a header
off the freelist first, falling back on MALLOC() if the
freelist is empty. Use MALLOC() rather than malloc(),
because it will attempt to short-cut the allocation before
actually making a full-blown malloc() call.
- Keep statistics on how many component buffer headers have
been allocated and how many of those allocations have
resulted in freelist misses.
With these changes, I observed measurable decreases in system and
wall clock time on operations on an 8G ccd, as well as a measurable
drop in the time spent in ccdbuffer() (measured with kernel profiling).
