numerous pagedaemon improvements were needed to make this useful:
- don't bother waking up procs waiting for memory if there's none to be had.
- start 4 times as many pageouts as we need free pages.
this should reduce latency in low-memory situations.
- in inactive scanning, if we find dirty swap-backed pages when swap space
is full of non-resident pages, reactivate some number of these to flush
less active pages to the inactive queue so we can consider paging them out.
this replaces the previous scheme of inactivating pages beyond the
inactive target when we failed to free anything during inactive scanning.
- during both active and inactive scanning, free any swap resources from
dirty swap-backed pages if swap space is full. this allows other pages
be paged out into that swap space.
and ignore the error. Scanset 2 should be the default after reset, so
this allows some broken keyboards to work. (Reset is needed because at
least 1 keyboard locks up if the "set scanset" is attempted.)
allocated from a pool, and the MIPS and Alpha use KSEG to map pool
pages. So, mb_map wasn't actually being used. Saves around 4MB of
kernel virtual address space in a typical configuration.
Garbage-collect the related VM_MBUF_SIZE constant.
- ETHER_ADDR_LEN: length of Ethernet address (actually, we already defined
this).
- ETHER_TYPE_LEN: length of the Ethernet header `type' field.
- ETHER_CRC_LEN: length of the Ethernet CRC (explorer got this already, mostly
because I forgot to commit these changes earlier).
- ETHER_HDR_LEN: total length of the Ethernet header
- ETHER_MAX_LEN: maximum length of an Ethernet frame, including header and CRC
- ETHER_MIN_LEN: minimum length of an Ethernet frame, including header and CRC
Define ETHERMTU and ETHERMIN (payload sizes) in terms of the above constants.
namely, toggle whether vnodes loaded only for cleaning (as opposed to
normal filesystem use) are freed to the *head* of the vnode free list,
rather than the tail. This should avoid a possible cache flushing
effect, if the cleaner cleans a segment containing a large number of
live inodes.
dirop is completely written to disk. This means that ordinary calls to
ufs vnops which would ordinarily call VOP_INACTIVE through vrele/vput,
don't. This patch detects that condition after such vnops have been
run, and calls VOP_INACTIVE if it would ordinarily have been called by
the ufs call.
if we are short on vnodes, lfs_vflush from another process can grab a
vnode that lfs_markv has already processed but not yet written; but
lfs_markv holds the seglock. When lfs_vflush gets around to writing it,
the context for copyin is gone. So, now lfs_markv calls copyin itself,
rather than having lfs_writeseg do it.
