cached value will do, or if the very latest total must be fetched. It can
be called thousands of times a second and fetching the totals impacts not
only the calling LWP but other CPUs doing unrelated activity in the VM
system.
the list of routines that need to be called for setting up sysctl
variables. This worked great for all code included in the kernel
itself, but didn't deal with modules that want to create their own
sysctl data. So, we ended up with a lot of #ifdef _MODULE blocks
so modules could explicitly call their setup functions when loaded
as non-built-in modules.
So today, we complete the task that was started so many years ago.
When modules are loaded, after we've called xxx_modcmd(INIT...) we
check if the module contains its own __link_set_sysctl_funcs, and
if so we call the functions listed. We add a struct sysctllog member
to the struct module so we can call sysctl_teardown() when the module
gets unloaded. (The sequence of events ensures that the sysctl stuff
doesn't get created until the rest of the module's init code does any
required memory allocation.)
So, no more need to explicitly call the sysctl setup routines when
built as a loadable module.
of entries in the ccds LIST.
Since the counter is checked only when the ccd module is being unloaded,
remove the counter completely and just check for LIST_EMPTY(ccds).
No functional change intended.
kmem_alloc() with KM_SLEEP
kmem_zalloc() with KM_SLEEP
percpu_alloc()
pserialize_create()
psref_class_create()
all of these paths include an assertion that the allocation has not failed,
so callers should not assert that again.
all common flags are retained, and flags regarding write cache are preserved
if either of the devices has it; callers can thus rely on write cache not
being possible to be used when both flags are missing
use the new macro for ccd(4)

add support for DIOCGSTRATEGY while here, mainly to make dkctl(8) output neater
by the number of concurrent I/O requests. Also introduce a new disk_wait()
function to measure requests waiting in a bufq.
iostat -y now reports data about waiting and active requests.
So far only drivers using dksubr and dk, ccd, wd and xbd collect data about
waiting requests.
the contents of the sub-tree are all structures, and thus not displayed
via sysctl(8), the info is potentially useful to programs. (For example,
ccdconfig could use this to determine how many units are available.)
The sub-tree is already available when the module is included as built-in
module.
altq Drop Type
disklabel Disk Type
file Descriptor Type
(not to mention constants that contain the string DTYPE).
Let's make them two, by changing the disklabel one to be DisK TYPE since the
other disklabel constants seem to do that. Not many userland programs use
these constants (and the ones that they do are mostly in ifdefs). They will
be fixed shortly.

any file system. Change all consumers of dk_lookup() to get the
device from "v_rdev" instead of VOP_GETATTR() as specfs does not
support VOP_GETATTR(). Devices obtained with dk_lookup() will no
longer disappear on forced unmounts.
Fix for PR kern/48849 (root mirror raid fails on shutdown)
Welcome to 6.99.44
- Reorganize locking in UVM and provide extra serialisation for pmap(9).
New lock order: [vmpage-owner-lock] -> pmap-lock.
- Simplify locking in some pmap(9) modules by removing P->V locking.
- Use lock object on vmobjlock (and thus vnode_t::v_interlock) to share
the locks amongst UVM objects where necessary (tmpfs, layerfs, unionfs).
- Rewrite and optimise x86 TLB shootdown code, make it simpler and cleaner.
Add TLBSTATS option for x86 to collect statistics about TLB shootdowns.
- Unify /dev/mem et al in MI code and provide required locking (removes
kernel-lock on some ports). Also, avoid cache-aliasing issues.
Thanks to Andrew Doran and Joerg Sonnenberger, as their initial patches
formed the core changes of this branch.

and the metadata required to interpret it. Callers of namei must now
create a pathbuf and pass it to NDINIT (instead of a string and a
uio_seg), then destroy the pathbuf after the namei session is
complete.
Update all namei call sites accordingly. Add a pathbuf(9) man page and
update namei(9).
The pathbuf interface also now appears in a couple of related
additional places that were passing string/uio_seg pairs that were
later fed into NDINIT. Update other call sites accordingly.
