The general trend is to remove it from all kernel interfaces and
this is a start. In case the calling lwp is desired, curlwp should
be used.
quick consensus on tech-kern
introduce vrele2(), which allows to release vnodes the way lfs
sometimes wants it:
+ without calling inactive
+ inserting the vnode at the head of the freelist (this is a very
questionable optimization that isn't even enabled by default,
but I went along with the same semantics for now)
knew what it was supposed to be used for and wrstuden gave a go-ahead
* while rototilling, convert file systems which went easily to
use VFS_PROTOS() instead of manually prototyping the methods
need to understand the locking around that field. Instead of setting
B_ERROR, set b_error instead. b_error is 'owned' by whoever completes
the I/O request.
WQ_PERCPU flag for workqueue and additional argument for workqueue_enqueue()
to assign a CPU might be used. Notes:
- For now, the list is used for workqueue_queue, which is non-optimal,
and will be changed with array, where index would be CPU ID.
- The data structures should be changed to be cache-friendly.

fs code is a kernel buffer, pass though the length of the buffer as well.
Since the length of the userspace buffer isn'it (yet) passed through the mount
system call, add a field to the vfsops structure containing the default length.
Split sys_mount() for calls from compat code.
Ride one of the recent kernel version changes - old fs LKMs will load, but
sys_mount() will reject any attempt to use them.
- Make quota-internal functions static.
- Clean up declarations in quota.h and ufs_extern.h. quota.h now has the
description of quota criterions, on-disk structure, user-kernel interface and
declaration of init/done functions. All ufs quota related function
prototypes go to ufs_extern.h.
- New functions ufsquota_init() and ufsquota_free() create or destroy the
quota fields of `struct inode'.
- chkdq() and chkiq() always update the quota fields of `struct inode' first.
- Only ufs_access() explicitely calls getinoquota().
No objections on tech-kern@
an init method. So get rid of it and #ifdef _LKM and just always
init in the init method. Give malloc types the same treatment.
Makes file systems nicer to work with in linksetless environments
and fixes a few LKM discrepancies.
the "smooth" syncer, as if vfs.sync.*delay = 0, but only for LFS. The
default is "on", i.e., ignore lazy sync.
Reduce the amount of polling/busy-waiting done by lfs_putpages(). To
accomplish this, copied genfs_putpages() and modified it to indicate which
page it was that caused it to return with EDEADLK. fsync()/fdatasync()
should no longer ever fail with EAGAIN, and should not consume huge
quantities of cpu.
Also, try to make dirops less likely to be written as the result of a
VOP_PUTPAGES(), while ensuring that they are written regularly.
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).
- finish implementing splraiseipl (and makeiplcookie).
http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2006/07/01/0000.html
- complete workqueue(9) and fix its ipl problem, which is reported
to cause audio skipping.
- fix netbt (at least compilation problems) for some ports.
- fix PR/33218.
