The poorly named uvm.h is generally supposed to be for uvm-internal
users only.
- Narrow it to files that actually need it -- mostly files that need
to query whether curlwp is the pagedaemon, which should maybe be
exposed by an external header.
- Use uvm_extern.h where feasible and uvm_*.h for things not exposed
by it. We should split up uvm_extern.h but this will serve for now
to reduce the uvm.h dependencies.
- Use uvm_stat.h and #ifdef UVMHIST uvm.h for files that use
UVMHIST(ubchist), since ubchist is declared in uvm.h but the
reference evaporates if UVMHIST is not defined, so we reduce header
file dependencies.
- Make uvm_device.h and uvm_swap.h independently includable while
here.
ok chs@
cached value will do, or if the very latest total must be fetched. It can
be called thousands of times a second and fetching the totals impacts not
only the calling LWP but other CPUs doing unrelated activity in the VM
system.
- Add new flag UBC_ISMAPPED which tells ubc_uiomove() the object is mmap()ed
somewhere. Use it to decide whether to do direct-mapped copy, rather than
poking around directly in the vnode in ubc_uiomove(), which is ugly and
doesn't work for tmpfs. It would be nicer to contain all this in UVM but
the filesystem provides the needed locking here (VV_MAPPED) and to
reinvent that would suck more.
- Rename UBC_UNMAP_FLAG() to UBC_VNODE_FLAGS(). Pass in UBC_ISMAPPED where
appropriate.
and getcwd():
- push vnode locking back as far as possible.
- do most lookups directly in the namecache, avoiding vnode locks & refs.
- don't block new refs to vnodes across VOP_INACTIVE().
- get shared locks for VOP_LOOKUP() if the file system supports it.
- correct lock types for VOP_ACCESS() / VOP_GETATTR() in a few places.
Possible future enhancements:
- make the lookups lockless.
- support dotdot lookups by being lockless and inferring absence of chroot.
- maybe make it work for layered file systems.
- avoid vnode references at the root & cwd.
- Change the lock on uvm_object, vm_amap and vm_anon to be a RW lock.
- Break v_interlock and vmobjlock apart. v_interlock remains a mutex.
- Do partial PV list locking in the x86 pmap. Others to follow later.
kmem_alloc() with KM_SLEEP
kmem_zalloc() with KM_SLEEP
percpu_alloc()
pserialize_create()
psref_class_create()
all of these paths include an assertion that the allocation has not failed,
so callers should not assert that again.
VOP_RECLAIM naturally has exclusive access to the vnode, so having it
locked on entry is not strictly necessary -- but it means if there
are any final operations that must be done on the vnode, such as
ffs_update, requiring exclusive access to it, we can now kassert that
the vnode is locked in those operations.
We can't just have the caller release the last lock because some file
systems don't use genfs_lock, and require the vnode to remain valid
for VOP_UNLOCK to work, notably unionfs.
Page-cached I/O is used for regular files, and is initiated by VFS
users such as userland and NFS.
Buffer-cached I/O is used for directories and symlinks, and is issued
only internally by UFS.
New UFS routine ufs_bufio replaces vn_rdwr for internal use.
ufs_bufio is implemented by new UFS operations uo_bufrd/uo_bufwr,
which sit in ufs_readwrite.c alongside the VOP_READ/VOP_WRITE
implementations.
I preserved the code as much as possible and will leave further
simplification for future commits. I kept the ulfs_readwrite.c
copypasta close to ufs_readwrite.c in case we ever want to merge them
back; likewise ext2fs_readwrite.c.
No externally visible semantic change. All atf fs tests still pass.
