- 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.
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
partial-segments that may have been written but not checkpointed because
of an intervening crash.
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.
parametrized in the filesystem, defaulting to MIN_FREE_SEGS = 2 but set
to something more reasonable at newfs_lfs time.
Note the number of blocks that have been scheduled for writing but which
are not yet on disk in an inode extension, i_lfs_effnblks. Move
i_ffs_effnlink out of the ffs extension and onto the main inode, since
it's used all over the shared code and the lfs extension would clobber
it.
At inode write time, indirect blocks and inode-held blocks of inodes
that have i_lfs_effnblks != i_ffs_blocks are cleansed of UNWRITTEN disk
addresses, so that these never make it to disk.
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.
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.
superblock (whose disk address is stored in the primary superblock). Also,
refuse to mount a filesystem whose superblocks overlap or where the alt.
superblock has a lower disk address than the primary superblock.
Solves PR#10001.
- lfs_truncate extends the file if called with length > i_ffs_size;
- lfs_truncate errors out if called with length < 0;
- lfs_balloc block accounting corrected for the case of blocks read
into the cache before they exist on disk;
- mp->mnt_stat.f_iosize is initialized in lfs_mountfs.
in vfs_detach(). vfs_done may free global filesystem's resources,
typically those allocated in respective filesystem's init function.
Needed so those filesystems which went in via LKM have a chance to
clean after themselves before unloading. This fixes random panics
when LKM for filesystem using pools was loaded and unloaded several
times.
For each leaf filesystem, add appropriate vfs_done routine.
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.

Bump version number to 1.4O
system crashed, inodes could be allocated that were not referenced. (Though
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
written; at mount time the ifile is checked for UNASSIGNED entries and
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

will DTRT with vnodes marked VDIROP. In particular, the message
"flushing VDIROP" will no longer appear, and the filesystem will remain

This was particularly a problem with NFS-exported LFSes, since fsync
was called on every file close.
if the version number is higher than we know about. This allows, e.g.,
changes in the format of the ifile, segment size restrictions and boundaries,
etc., which would not affect existing fields in the superblock, but which
would drastically affect the filesystem, to be smoothly integrated at a
later date.
for the first write. If this is not done, the cleaner may try to clean the
current segment out from under the writer if the filesystem is mounted after
a crash (or any other time that the dirty:clean segment ration is high enough).
* The MNT_UPDATE case had a null pointer dereference. (This is a good example
of why blindly adding bogus initializiers is a FUNDAMENTALLY BAD IDEA!)
* Make sure the whole ufsmount is zeroed, as the export code relies on this.
* If we decided to use the second/alternate superblock, make sure to copy the
in-core version from the right buffer.
Also, reenable NFS exporting.
include:
- DIROP segregation is enabled, and greater care is taken
to make sure that a checkpoint completes. Fsck is not
needed to remount the filesystem.
- Several checks to make sure that the LFS subsystem does not
overuse various resources (memory, in particular).
- The cleaner routines, lfs_markv in particular, are completely
rewritten. A buffer overflow is removed. Greater care is taken
to ensure that inodes come from where lfs_cleanerd say they come
from (so we know nothing has changed since lfs_bmapv was called).
- Fragment allocation is fixed, so that writes beyond end-of-file
do the right thing.
