- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise

many inodes are cleaned at once. Make sure that we write all the pages
on vnodes that are being flushed, even if we don't think there's room;
drain v_numoutput before lfs_vflush() completes.
Also, don't allow a vnode that is in the process of being cleaned to be
chosen by getnewvnode(); this avoids a segment accounting panic in the case
that a large number of inodes are fed to lfs_markv() all at once.
notion of "how many segments are reserved for the cleaner" from that of
"how many segments are not counted in lfs_bfree". The default value
used for existing filesystems is the same as the previous implicit value
of (lfs_minfreeseg / 2 + 1), modulo some sanity checking.
Count pending dirops on a per-filesystem basis, since once we start
writing them we can't stop until we're done. This seems to help stave off
the "no clean segments" panic in the case of filling the filesystem with
directories and small files (e.g. simultaneously unpacking more copies of
pkgsrc than will fit).
inode that makes those changes valid is either written to disk by
lfs_writeinode() or discarded by lfs_vfree().
A couple of locking fixes are also included as well.
Move the stop for LFCNWRAPSTOP to the point at which writing at segment 0
is really about to commence, since this is what the test expects (and
incidentally what a snapshotting utility wants as well).
More correctly reconstruct the on-disk state at every checkpoint, rather
than relying on the entire state at the point of wrapping to be accurate
(that is only true the first time we wrap). Add a "make abort" target to
make rerunning the test more convenient when it has failed and we're done
analyzing the failure.
where segment 0 is being considered for writing. This allows for automated
checkpoint vailidity scanning, and could be used (in conjunction with the
existing LFCNREWIND) for e.g. snapshot dumps as well.
Include a regression test that does such scanning.
When writing the Ifile, loop through the dirty block list three times to
make sure that the checkpoint is always consistent (the first and second
times the Ifile blocks can cross a segment boundary; not so the third time
unless the segments are very small). Discovered by using the aforementioned
regression test.
My understanding is that the CLRSIG() is supposed to clear the signal
that was sent to the syncer process to prevent it from being delivered
to the syncer process in case unmounting fails, so that the syncer process
does not die while the filesystem is still mounted. The typical scenario
is, the syncher process is tsleep()ing in the kernel, and waking up when
it needs to do work. If someone sends a signal to it, eg. kill -TERM
the mfs process, then the kernel will try to unmount the mfs filesystem
before delivering the signal to the process. If that unmount fails, then
we should not really kill the process because that will hang the mount.
So we call CLRSIG() to stop the signal from being delivered.
So the first call to issignal() will return the signal number that was
sent to the syncer process (unless someone malicious was able to send
a lower numbered signal between the time tsleep() returned and we called
issignal()... something that is not really easy to do). But you are
right, we should not be calling it many times as a side effect of this
macro.
Rewrite CLRSIG() clear all the signals and call issignal() the correct
number of times.
explicitly (especially since we didn't know about VFREEING at all before),
but notice the EBUSY return from vget() instead.
Fix some more MP locking protocol issues, most of which were pointed out by
Christian Ehrhardt this morning on tech-kern.
instead of bytes for the index, and never search below fs->lfs_freehd.
Fix a bug in the previous version of the search (an erroneous assumption
that ino_t was signed).
Free the bitmap when we unmount the filesystem.
The writer daemon, if it does not need to flush the whole filesystem,
now only writes the vnodes for which the pagedaemon has requested pageouts
(although it does not pay attention to the page ranges the pagedaemon
supplies).
by Michel Oey, in which an aged LFS writes up to an extra Ifile block for
every file created; and paves the way for the truncation of the Ifile when
many files are deleted.
* Correct (weak) segment lock assertions in lfs_fragextend and lfs_putpages.
* Keep IN_MODIFIED set if we run out of avail in lfs_putpages.
* Don't try to (re)write buffers on a VBLK vnode; fixes a panic I found
while running with an LFS root.
* Raise priority of LFCNSEGWAIT to PVFS; PUSER is way too low for
something the pagedaemon is relying on.
