kernel and ran for a day or so. There are still some caddr_t types in
the arguments of some calls, I will do those separately (later) as
they touch a lot more of the system.
Approved by christos@NetBSD.org.
VOP_STRATEGY(bp) is replaced by one of two new functions:
- VOP_STRATEGY(vp, bp) Call the strategy routine of vp for bp.
- DEV_STRATEGY(bp) Call the d_strategy routine of bp->b_dev for bp.
DEV_STRATEGY(bp) is used only for block-to-block device situations.
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.
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.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
- Under chroot it displays only the visible filesystems with appropriate paths.
- The statfs f_mntonname gets adjusted to contain the real path from root.
- While was there, fixed a bug in ext2fs, locking problems with vfs_getfsstat(),
and factored out some of the vfsop statfs() code to copy_statfs_info(). This
fixes the problem where some filesystems forgot to set fsid.
- Made coda look more like a normal fs.
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.
the functionality of nullfs. The latter is now just a mount & unmount
routine, and a few tables. umapfs borrow most of this infrastructure.
Both fs's are now nfs-exportable.
All layered fs's share a common format to private mount & private
vnode structs (which a particular fs can extend).
Also add genfs_noerr_rele(), a vnode op which will vrele/vput
operand vnodes appropriately.
deadlock in VOP_FSYNC() if the unreferenced vnode picked for
reclamation happened to be stacked on top of a vnode the process
already had locked. This could happen if the same filesystem was
accessed both through a union mount and directly; it seemed to happen
most frequently when the direct access was through NFS.
Avoid this deadlock by changing vinvalbuf to pass a new FSYNC_RECLAIM
flag bit to VOP_FSYNC() to indicate that a reclaim is in progress and
only a `shallow' fsync is necessary.
Do nothing in *_fsync() in umapfs, nullfs, and unionfs when
FSYNC_RECLAIM is set; the underlying vnodes will shortly be released
in *_reclaim and may be reclaimed (and fsync'ed) later.
stop null_node_create() from locking the nullfs mountpoint multiple
times. Avoids a guaranteed, repeatably "locking against myself" panic
during mount of a nullfs filesystem. nullfs filesystems are still as
buggy as ever (e.g., see PR# 4907) but this you at least mount them.
as with user-land programs, include files are installed by each directory
in the tree that has includes to install. (This allows more flexibility
as to what gets installed, makes 'partial installs' easier, and gives us
more options as to which machines' includes get installed at any given
time.) The old SYS_INCLUDES={symlinks,copies} behaviours are _both_
still supported, though at least one bug in the 'symlinks' case is
fixed by this change. Include files can't be build before installation,
so directories that have includes as targets (e.g. dev/pci) have to move
those targets into a different Makefile.
