frank's scheme, with one new twist: don't wait until we've totally run
out of free pages before committing, but instead notice when we've built
up a largish range of uncommitted pages and commit only the older half of
the range, which is likely to already be on disk on the server.
struct nfssvc_sock.
Affected only when a recordmark of RPC over TCP is fragmented to
multiple mbufs. I do not know whether this code has ever been executed :)
and confusion about the actual filesize. From Matt Dillon's
similar change in FreeBSD.
XXX n_size is really redundant in -current and must die. This commit
XXX is more of a placeholder for a pullup into the 1.5 branch.
uint32_t namei_hash(const char *p, const char **ep)
which determines the equivalent MI hash32_str() hash for p.
If *ep != NULL, calculate the hash to the character before ep.
If *ep == NULL, calculate the has to the first / or NUL found, and
point *ep to that location.
- Use namei_hash() to calculate cn_hash in lookup() and relookup().
Hash distribution goes from 35-40% to 55-70%, with similar profiled
time spent in cache_lookup() and cache_enter() on my P3-600.
- Use namei_hash() to calculate cn_hash in nfs_readdirplusrpc(),
insetad of homegrown code (that differed from that in lookup() !)
namei_hash() has better spread and is faster than previous code
(which used a non-constant multiplication).
hash32_buf() to obtain a 32 bit hash. On some tests I ran I obtained
a 30x improvement in hash distribution and a 6x reduction in time spent
in nfs_nget().
- 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.
adjusted via sysctl. file systems that have hash tables which are
sized based on the value of this variable now resize those hash tables
using the new value. the max number of FFS softdeps is also recalculated.
convert various file systems to use the <sys/queue.h> macros for
their hash tables.
of nfs_niothreads instead of hard-coding 4.
This change has the advantage that the default can be specified
at compile time. If the root filesystem is mounted over NFS
we don't have an opportunity to use the syscall to limit the
number of threads. Useful on small-memory machines.
the value of "next-server" from the DHCP (or BOOTP) reply. This is
not the DHCP server's IP address (except by chance), so instead of
"server" make it print "next-server".
prevents us losing the locked state of the old vnode.
fvdl thinks the old vnode is certain to be locked at this point. I've put in
a KASSERT to be on the safe side.
This seems to fix PR kern/12661.
vfs_busy'ing just before the dounmount() call. This is to avoid
sleeping with the mountlist_slock held -- but we must acquire
syncer_lock before vfs_busy because the syncer itself uses
syncer_lock -> vfs_busy locking order.
