uvm_swap_stats(). This is done in order to allow COMPAT_* swapctl()
emulation to use it directly without going through sys_swapctl().
The problem with using sys_swapctl() there is that it involves
copying the swapent array to the stackgap, and this array's size
is not known at build time. Hence it would not be possible to
ensure it would fit in the stackgap in any case.
deal with shortages of the VM maps where the backing pages are mapped
(usually kmem_map). Try to deal with this:
* Group all information about the backend allocator for a pool in a
separate structure. The pool references this structure, rather than
the individual fields.
* Change the pool_init() API accordingly, and adjust all callers.
* Link all pools using the same backend allocator on a list.
* The backend allocator is responsible for waiting for physical memory
to become available, but will still fail if it cannot callocate KVA
space for the pages. If this happens, carefully drain all pools using
the same backend allocator, so that some KVA space can be freed.
* Change pool_reclaim() to indicate if it actually succeeded in freeing
some pages, and use that information to make draining easier and more
efficient.
* Get rid of PR_URGENT. There was only one use of it, and it could be
dealt with by the caller.
From art@openbsd.org.
- 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.
the mapping is:
VM_PAGER_OK 0
VM_PAGER_BAD <unused>
VM_PAGER_FAIL <unused>
VM_PAGER_PEND 0 (see below)
VM_PAGER_ERROR EIO
VM_PAGER_AGAIN EAGAIN
VM_PAGER_UNLOCK EBUSY
VM_PAGER_REFAULT ERESTART
for async i/o requests, it used to be possible for the request to
be convert to sync, and the pager would return VM_PAGER_OK or VM_PAGER_PEND
to indicate whether the caller should perform post-i/o cleanup.
this is no longer allowed; pagers must now return 0 to indicate that
the async i/o was successfully started, and the caller never needs to
worry about doing the post-i/o cleanup.
devices will actually be notified if this is the last close.
this allows raidframe swap devices to be marked clean.
also, move the corresponding vref() into swap_on() for symmetry
and improve some comments.
default, as the copyright on the main file (ffs_softdep.c) is such
that is has been put into gnusrc. options SOFTDEP will pull this
in. This code also contains the trickle syncer.
Bump version number to 1.4O
not set, unlock the vnode before calling the device's close routine and
relock it after it returns. tty close routines will sleep waiting for
buffers to drain, which won't happen often times as the other side needs
to grab the vnode lock first.
Make all unmount routines lock the device vnode before calling VOP_CLOSE().
thing would be to allocate the block, but I don't know how to do this.
The panic is preferable to the random memory corruption the old code
was causing.
the pathname of the swap device is saved into. add a char *swd_path
member to struct swapdev, that contains a copy of the pathname
(using malloc(9)). rename swapctl(2)'s SWAP_STATS to SWAP_OSTATS,
and add a new SWAP_STATS command (number). make swapctl(SWAP_STATS,
...) [new version] copy the path out. if COMPAT_13, also include
support for SWAP_OSTATS. also fix a minor bug in swapctl(2).
the point of this is that swapfiles are now shown in `swapctl -l'.
