The suspension helpers are now put into file system specific operations.
This means every file system not supporting these helpers cannot be suspended
and therefore snapshots are no longer possible.
Implemented for file systems of type ffs.
The new API is enabled on a kernel option NEWVNGATE. This option is
not enabled by default in any kernel config.
Presented and discussed on tech-kern with much input from
Bill Studenmund <wrstuden@netbsd.org> and YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt@netbsd.org>.
Welcome to 4.99.9 (new vfs op vfs_suspendctl).
- LOCKPARENT is no longer relevant for lookup(), relookup() or VOP_LOOKUP().
these now always return the parent vnode locked. namei() works as before.
lookup() and various other paths no longer acquire vnode locks in the
wrong order via vrele(). fixes PR 32535.
as a nice side effect, path lookup is also up to 25% faster.
- the above allows us to get rid of PDIRUNLOCK.
- also get rid of WANTPARENT (just use LOCKPARENT and unlock it).
- remove an assumption in layer_node_find() that all file systems implement
a recursive VOP_LOCK() (unionfs doesn't).
- require that all file systems supply vfs_vptofh and vfs_fhtovp routines.
fill in eopnotsupp() for file systems that don't support being exported
and remove the checks for NULL. (layerfs calls these without checking.)
- in union_lookup1(), don't change refcounts in the ISDOTDOT case, just
adjust which vnode is locked. fixes PR 33374.
- apply fixes for ufs_rename() from ufs_vnops.c rev. 1.61 to ext2fs_rename().
unlocked instead of locked. chuq agrees
* use slock set to &uobj->vmobjlock also for the last simple lock
operation to be consistent with the rest of the function
vp->v_interlock may be unlocked twice: Once explicitly and a second time
implicilty by lockmgr. LK_INTERLOCK is cleared from the variable flags but
not from ap->a_flags which is used with lockmgr. This is not so much of a
problem because there seems to be no call site that actually uses
LK_INTERLOCK with layer_unlock or VOP_UNLOCK.
okay martin@
vnodes were synced and processed backwards. This meant that the last
accessed node was processed first and the earlierst last.
An extra benefit is the removal of the ugly hack from the Berkly days on
LFS.
In the proces, i've also replaced the various variations hand written loops
by the TAILQ_FOREACH() macro's.
intervened by truncation.
it also fixes a deadlock. (g_glock vs pages locking order)
- uvm_vnp_setsize: modify v_size while holding v_interlock.
reviewed by Chuck Silvers.
While touching all vptofh/fhtovp functions, get rid of VFS_MAXFIDSIZ,
version the getfh(2) syscall and explicitly pass the size available in
the filehandle from userland.
Discussed on tech-kern, with lots of help from yamt (thanks!).
- remove GOP_SIZE_READ/GOP_SIZE_WRITE flags.
they have not been used since the change.
- ufs_balloc_range: remove code which has been no-op since the change.
thanks Konrad Schroder for explaining the original intention of the code.
- ffs_gop_size: don't extend past eof, in the case of GOP_SIZE_MEM.
otherwise genfs_getpages end up to allocate pages past eof unnecessarily.
- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.
- add an assertion.
- call VOP_STRATEGY of underlying vnode directly, rather than
through the filesystem vnode.
- no need to set b_dev here because VOP_STRATEGY will take care of it.
