- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime

the latter is more natural to specify an address space.

If "(flags & (V_WAIT|V_PCATCH)) == V_WAIT" the return value is always zero.
Ignore the return value in these cases.

file system.
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.

Close PR 21696 by myself, discussed on tech-net in 2003/05 and 2003/06.
Issue raised by Chuck Silvers (commit and truncate ops needs to be serialised)
still unadressed.
* 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.
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
- 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.
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.
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.
