Increase NFS_MAXRAHEAD to 32. With 32k read or write requests, that
amounts to 1 Mbyte of read-ahead, enough to cover about 10 ms latency
at gigabit Ethernet speeds. Increase the table of nfsiod kthreads
(NFS_MAXASYNCDAEMON) from 20 to 128, to match the raised value of
NFS_MAXRAHEAD. (Making the limit dynamic requires replacing the
compile-time array with a dynamic structure.)
Add a comment explaining that each read-ahead requires an I/O thread.
Wrap both parameters with an #ifdef <parameter>/#endif, to allow
hand-tuned values or (later) a kernel config-file option override.
Gone are the old kern_sysctl(), cpu_sysctl(), hw_sysctl(),
vfs_sysctl(), etc, routines, along with sysctl_int() et al. Now all
nodes are registered with the tree, and nodes can be added (or
removed) easily, and I/O to and from the tree is handled generically.
Since the nodes are registered with the tree, the mapping from name to
number (and back again) can now be discovered, instead of having to be
hard coded. Adding new nodes to the tree is likewise much simpler --
the new infrastructure handles almost all the work for simple types,
and just about anything else can be done with a small helper function.
All existing nodes are where they were before (numerically speaking),
so all existing consumers of sysctl information should notice no
difference.
PS - I'm sorry, but there's a distinct lack of documentation at the
moment. I'm working on sysctl(3/8/9) right now, and I promise to
watch out for buses.

The function vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a file
system, allows any file system modifying system calls already in progress
to complete, then sync's the file system to disk and returns. The
function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to
complete.

it has a bug in the backoff calculation. so,
- clip it to 1-60 sec. (suggested by Rick Macklem)
- use a constant multiplier instead of nfs_backoff, which
is already exponential.
- move some related constant definations to nfs.h from nqnfs.h and
prefix with NFS_ instead of NQ_ because they are not nqnfs-specific.

* 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.

- for READ procedure, don't send back more bytes than requested.
- don't have doubtful assumptions on mbuf chain structure.
- rename a function (nfsm_adj -> nfs_zeropad) to avoid confusion as
the semantics of the function was changed.
retransmitted mbufs can survive even after requests themselves
finished. so, before unbusy pages, make sure that mbufs referring them
go away.

while our nfsd announces MAXBSIZE as wtmax for tcp,
VOP_GETPAGES of filesystems that uses genfs_getpages can't
handle >= MAX_READ_AHEAD(16) pages at once.
therefore, depending on PAGE_SIZE of the machine and file offset of
a read request, we can't VOP_GETPAGES the range at once.

it sums up to about half a kB for me. And it paves the way for future
fixes.
While cleaning up, eliminate a write-only member of "struct nfsreq"
and a pointless assignment in the NFS_V2_ONLY case.

Do a little mbuf rework while here. Change all uses of MGET*(*, M_WAIT, *)
to m_get*(M_WAIT, *). These are not performance critical and making them
call m_get saves considerable space. Add m_clget analogue of MCLGET and
make corresponding change for M_WAIT uses.
Modify netinet, gem, fxp, tulip, nfs to support MBUFTRACE.
Begin to change netstat to use sysctl.
(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.
It will never get back... it will not be found in nfs_nget, a new
nfsnode+vnode is allocated instead, which causes a node leak, and
also makes the mountpointness of the vnode to be forgotten, breaking
filesystem crossing lookups through this vnode.
into nfs_inactive, this is a better place for it.
This doesn't actually solve the actual problem, which appears to be a race
condition with unmounting and vnode recycling somewhere, but it fixes
it in the sense that nfs_reclaim will not reference a bad v_mount anymore.
malloc types into a structure, a pointer to which is passed around,
instead of an int constant. Allow the limit to be adjusted when the
malloc type is defined, or with a function call, as suggested by
Jonathan Stone.
