* Remove the "lwp *" argument that was added to vget(). Turns out
that nothing actually used it!
* Remove the "lwp *" arguments that were added to VFS_ROOT(), VFS_VGET(),
and VFS_FHTOVP(); all they did was pass it to vget() (which, as noted
above, didn't use it).
* Remove all of the "lwp *" arguments to internal functions that were added
just to appease the above.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.

be expanded to cover other per-fs and subsystem-wide data as well.
Fix a case of IN_MODIFIED being set without updating lfs_uinodes, resulting
in a "lfs_uinodes < 0" panic.
Fix a deadlock in lfs_putpages arising from the need to busy all pages in a
block; unbusy any that had already been busied before starting over.
(there are still some details to work out) but expect that to go
away soon. To support these basic changes (creation of lfs_putpages,
lfs_gop_write, mods to lfs_balloc) several other changes were made, to
wit:
* Create a writer daemon kernel thread whose purpose is to handle page
writes for the pagedaemon, but which also takes over some of the
functions of lfs_check(). This thread is started the first time an
LFS is mounted.
* Add a "flags" parameter to GOP_SIZE. Current values are
GOP_SIZE_READ, meaning that the call should return the size of the
in-core version of the file, and GOP_SIZE_WRITE, meaning that it
should return the on-disk size. One of GOP_SIZE_READ or
GOP_SIZE_WRITE must be specified.
* Instead of using malloc(...M_WAITOK) for everything, reserve enough
resources to get by and use malloc(...M_NOWAIT), using the reserves if
necessary. Use the pool subsystem for structures small enough that
this is feasible. This also obsoletes LFS_THROTTLE.
And a few that are not strictly necessary:
* Moves the LFS inode extensions off onto a separately allocated
structure; getting closer to LFS as an LKM. "Welcome to 1.6O."
* Unified GOP_ALLOC between FFS and LFS.
* Update LFS copyright headers to correct values.
* Actually cast to unsigned in lfs_shellsort, like the comment says.
* Keep track of which segments were empty before the previous
checkpoint; any segments that pass two checkpoints both dirty and
empty can be summarily cleaned. Do this. Right now lfs_segclean
still works, but this should be turned into an effectless
compatibility syscall.
I found while making sure there weren't any new ones.
* Make the write clusters keep track of the buffers whose blocks they contain.
This should make it possible to (1) write clusters using a page mapping
instead of malloc, if desired, and (2) schedule blocks for rewriting
(somewhere else) if a write error occurs. Code is present to use
pagemove() to construct the clusters but that is untested and will go away
anyway in favor of page mapping.
* DEBUG now keeps a log of Ifile writes, so that any lingering instances of
the "dirty bufs" problem can be properly debugged.
* Keep track of whether the Ifile has been dirtied by various routines that
can be called by lfs_segwrite, and loop on that until it is clean, for
a checkpoint. Checkpoints need to be squeaky clean.
* Warn the user (once) if the Ifile grows larger than is reasonable for their
buffer cache. Both lfs_mountfs and lfs_unmount check since the Ifile can
grow.
* If an inode is not found in a disk block, try rereading the block, under
the assumption that the block was copied to a cluster and then freed.
* Protect WRITEINPROG() with splbio() to fix a hang in lfs_update.
- remove special treatment of pager_map mappings in pmaps. this is
required now, since I've removed the globals that expose the address range.
pager_map now uses pmap_kenter_pa() instead of pmap_enter(), so there's
no longer any need to special-case it.
- eliminate struct uvm_vnode by moving its fields into struct vnode.
- rewrite the pageout path. the pager is now responsible for handling the
high-level requests instead of only getting control after a bunch of work
has already been done on its behalf. this will allow us to UBCify LFS,
which needs tighter control over its pages than other filesystems do.
writing a page to disk no longer requires making it read-only, which
allows us to write wired pages without causing all kinds of havoc.
- use a new PG_PAGEOUT flag to indicate that a page should be freed
on behalf of the pagedaemon when it's unlocked. this flag is very similar
to PG_RELEASED, but unlike PG_RELEASED, PG_PAGEOUT can be cleared if the
pageout fails due to eg. an indirect-block buffer being locked.
this allows us to remove the "version" field from struct vm_page,
and together with shrinking "loan_count" from 32 bits to 16,
struct vm_page is now 4 bytes smaller.
- no longer use PG_RELEASED for swap-backed pages. if the page is busy
because it's being paged out, we can't release the swap slot to be
reallocated until that write is complete, but unlike with vnodes we
don't keep a count of in-progress writes so there's no good way to
know when the write is done. instead, when we need to free a busy
swap-backed page, just sleep until we can get it busy ourselves.
- implement a fast-path for extending writes which allows us to avoid
zeroing new pages. this substantially reduces cpu usage.
- encapsulate the data used by the genfs code in a struct genfs_node,
which must be the first element of the filesystem-specific vnode data
for filesystems which use genfs_{get,put}pages().
- eliminate many of the UVM pagerops, since they aren't needed anymore
now that the pager "put" operation is a higher-level operation.
- enhance the genfs code to allow NFS to use the genfs_{get,put}pages
instead of a modified copy.
- clean up struct vnode by removing all the fields that used to be used by
the vfs_cluster.c code (which we don't use anymore with UBC).
- remove kmem_object and mb_object since they were useless.
instead of allocating pages to these objects, we now just allocate
pages with no object. such pages are mapped in the kernel until they
are freed, so we can use the mapping to find the page to free it.
this allows us to remove splvm() protection in several places.
The sum of all these changes improves write throughput on my
decstation 5000/200 to within 1% of the rate of NetBSD 1.5
and reduces the elapsed time for "make release" of a NetBSD 1.5
source tree on my 128MB pc to 10% less than a 1.5 kernel took.
Kernels and tools understand both v1 and v2 filesystems; newfs_lfs
generates v2 by default. Changes for the v2 layout include:
- Segments of non-PO2 size and arbitrary block offset, so these can be
matched to convenient physical characteristics of the partition (e.g.,
stripe or track size and offset).
- Address by fragment instead of by disk sector, paving the way for
non-512-byte-sector devices. In theory fragments can be as large
as you like, though in reality they must be smaller than MAXBSIZE in size.
- Use serial number and filesystem identifier to ensure that roll-forward
doesn't get old data and think it's new. Roll-forward is enabled for
v2 filesystems, though not for v1 filesystems by default.
- The inode free list is now a tailq, paving the way for undelete (undelete
is not yet implemented, but can be without further non-backwards-compatible
changes to disk structures).
- Inode atime information is kept in the Ifile, instead of on the inode;
that is, the inode is never written *just* because atime was changed.
Because of this the inodes remain near the file data on the disk, rather
than wandering all over as the disk is read repeatedly. This speeds up
repeated reads by a small but noticeable amount.
Other changes of note include:
- The ifile written by newfs_lfs can now be of arbitrary length, it is no
longer restricted to a single indirect block.
- Fixed an old bug where ctime was changed every time a vnode was created.
I need to look more closely to make sure that the times are only updated
during write(2) and friends, not after-the-fact during a segment write,
and certainly not by the cleaner.

on mount, through the newer checkpoint and on through any newer

LFS_DO_ROLLFORWARD is not defined by default.
Kernel:
* Add runtime quantity lfs_ravail, the number of disk-blocks reserved
for writing. Writes to the filesystem first reserve a maximum amount
of blocks before their write is allowed to proceed; after the blocks
are allocated the reserved total is reduced by a corresponding amount.
If the lfs_reserve function cannot immediately reserve the requested
number of blocks, the inode is unlocked, and the thread sleeps until
the cleaner has made enough space available for the blocks to be
reserved. In this way large files can be written to the filesystem
(or, smaller files can be written to a nearly-full but thoroughly
clean filesystem) and the cleaner can still function properly.
* Remove explicit switching on dlfs_minfreeseg from the kernel code; it
is now merely a fs-creation parameter used to compute dlfs_avail and
dlfs_bfree (and used by fsck_lfs(8) to check their accuracy). Its
former role is better assumed by a properly computed dlfs_avail.
* Bounds-check inode numbers submitted through lfs_bmapv and lfs_markv.
This prevents a panic, but, if the cleaner is feeding the filesystem
the wrong data, you are still in a world of hurt.
* Cleanup: remove explicit references of DEV_BSIZE in favor of
btodb()/dbtob().
lfs_cleanerd:
* Make -n mean "send N segments' blocks through a single call to
lfs_markv". Previously it had meant "clean N segments though N calls
to lfs_markv, before looking again to see if more need to be cleaned".
The new behavior gives better packing of direct data on disk with as
little metadata as possible, largely alleviating the problem that the
cleaner can consume more disk through inefficient use of metadata than
it frees by moving dirty data away from clean "holes" to produce
entirely clean segments.
* Make -b mean "read as many segments as necessary to write N segments
of dirty data back to disk", rather than its former meaning of "read
as many segments as necessary to free N segments worth of space". The
new meaning, combined with the new -n behavior described above,
further aids in cleaning storage efficiency as entire segments can be
written at once, using as few blocks as possible for segment summaries
and inode blocks.
* Make the cleaner take note of segments which could not be cleaned due
to error, and not attempt to clean them until they are entirely free
of dirty blocks. This prevents the case in which a cleanerd running
with -n 1 and without -b (formerly the default) would spin trying
repeatedly to clean a corrupt segment, while the remaining space
filled and deadlocked the filesystem.
* Update the lfs_cleanerd manual page to describe all the options,
including the changes mentioned here (in particular, the -b and -n
flags were previously undocumented).
fsck_lfs:
* Check, and optionally fix, lfs_avail (to an exact figure) and
lfs_bfree (within a margin of error) in pass 5.
newfs_lfs:
* Reduce the default dlfs_minfreeseg to 1/20 of the total segments.
* Add a warning if the sgs disklabel field is 16 (the default for FFS'
cpg, but not usually desirable for LFS' sgs: 5--8 is a better range).
* Change the calculation of lfs_avail and lfs_bfree, corresponding to
the kernel changes mentioned above.
mount_lfs:
* Add -N and -b options to pass corresponding -n and -b options to
lfs_cleanerd.
* Default to calling lfs_cleanerd with "-b -n 4".
[All of these changes were largely tested in the 1.5 branch, with the
idea that they (along with previous un-pulled-up work) could be applied
to the branch while it was still in ALPHA2; however my test system has
experienced corruption on another filesystem (/dev/console has gone
missing :^), and, while I believe this unrelated to the LFS changes, I
cannot with good conscience request that the changes be pulled up.]
Make lfs_uinodes a signed quantity for debugging purposes, and set it to
zero as fs mount time.
Enclose setting/clearing of the dirty flags (IN_MODIFIED, IN_ACCESSED,
IN_CLEANING) in macros, and use those macros everywhere. Make
LFS_ITIMES use these macros; updated the ITIMES macro in inode.h to know
about this. Make ufs_getattr use ITIMES instead of FFS_ITIMES.
Change the space computation to appear to change the size of the *disk*
rather than the *bytes used* when more segment summaries and inode
blocks are written. Try to estimate the amount of space that these will
take up when more files are written, so the disk size doesn't change too
much.
Regularize error returns from lfs_valloc, lfs_balloc, lfs_truncate: they
now fail entirely, rather than succeeding half-way and leaving the fs in
an inconsistent state.
Rewrite lfs_truncate, mostly stealing from ffs_truncate. The old
lfs_truncate had difficulty truncating a large file to a non-zero size
(indirect blocks were not handled appropriately).
Unmark VDIROP on fvp after ufs_remove, ufs_rmdir, so these can be
reclaimed immediately: this vnode would not be written to disk again
anyway if the removal succeeded, and if it failed, no directory
operation occurred.
ufs_makeinode and ufs_mkdir now remove IN_ADIROP on error.

Protect lfs_fragextend with seglock, to prevent the segment byte count
fudging from making its way to disk.
Don't try to inactivate dirop vnodes that are still in the middle of
their dirop (may address PR#10285).
All the dirop vnops now mark the inodes with a new flag, IN_ADIROP, which
is removed as soon as the dirop is done (as opposed to VDIROP which stays
until the file is written). To address one issue raised in PR#9357.
1.4 branch.
* Use a separate per-fs lock, instead of ufs_hashlock, to protect the Inode
free list. This seems to prevent the "lockmgr: %d, not exclusive lock holder
%d, unlocking" message I was mis-attributing last night to an unlocked vnode
being passed to vrele.
* Change calling semantics of lfs_ifind, to give better error reporting:
If fed a struct buf, it can report the block number of the offending inode
block as well as the inode number.
* Back out rev 1.10 of lfs_subr.c, since the replacement code was slightly
uglier while being functionally identical.
* Make lfs_vunref use the same free list convention as vrele/vput, so that
vget does not remove vnodes from a hash list they are not on.

not a serious problem, it evidences itself in phase 4 of fsck_lfs.) Fix
this by marking if_daddr with UNASSIGNED before the inodes are actually

any that are found are linked back into the free list. (The latter
functionality should move into the roll-forward agent when it materializes.)

- Fix mknod deadlock, described in PR 8172.
- Enable lfs_mountroot.
- Make lfs_writevnodes treat filesystems mounted on lfs device nodes properly,
by flushing that device rather than trying to add blocks to the device inode.
This, in combination with lfs boot blocks, will allow operation of an all-lfs
