sUnreservedFreePages which tracks the difference between free/clear and
reserved pages. Access to it uses atomic operations which allows the three
page (un)reservation to avoid locking in most cases, thus reducing contention
of the "pages" lock.
In the -j8 Haiku image build that decreases the contention of the "pages"
lock to about one third of the previous value. As a positive side effect the
VMCache lock contention drops about the same factor. The total build speedup
is about 20%, the total kernel time drops about 20%.

changes).

* Removed unnecessary setting the list links to NULL after removing a node.
* Replaced "element == NULL" check in Insert() by an assert. This just hid
potential errors.
* Added Insert{Before,After}() methods and declared the Insert() version
with the InsertBefore() semantics obsolete.

playing with the unused list manually. This also clears the vnode's unused
flag, which wasn't done before and would thus cause corruption of the
unused list a bit later.
* fs_unmount():
- Fixed an iteration bug I introduced previously. The iterator would be
advanced twice per iteration, leading to NULL pointer dereferencing
when the vnode count was odd and skipping the checks for every other
vnode.
- All vnodes are going to be freed, so vnode_to_be_freed() has to invoked
for every one of them. The code wasn't adjusted correctly when
introducing the hot vnodes handling.
* Adjusted/improved some comments.

used for it that is.
* The main cause for the heavy contention of the unused vnodes mutex was that
relatively few vnodes are actually used for a longer time. Mainly those are
the volume roots, mmap()ed files, and the files opened by programs. A good
deal of nodes -- particularly directories -- are just referenced for a very
short time, e.g. to resolve a path to a contained entry. This caused those
nodes to be added to and removed from the unused vnodes list very
frequently, thus resulting in a high contention of the mutex guarding it.
To address the problem I've introduced an approximation of a set of "hot"
vnodes, i.e. vnodes that have recently been marked unused. They are stored
in an array that by means of an r/w locker and atomic operations can most
of the time be accessed concurrently. Whenever it gets full, it is flushed
to the actual unused vnodes list.
* dec_vnode_ref_count(): No longer check the unused vnode count every time.
The called new vnode_unused() does only from time to time and returns when
the caller is expected to free some of the unused vnodes. As a side effect
this also fixes a bug I previously introduced: The unused vnode to be freed
was marked busy without being locked first.
The -j8 Haiku image test build shows that the changes reduce the contention
of the unused vnode list mutex to virtually zero without introducing any
significant contention of the new r/w lock. The VMCache lock contention also
seems to be decreased somewhat, which is probably not that surprising
considering that the page writer acquires/releases vnode references with the
cache lock held. The "pages" lock takes over even more contention, now
causing more than 100000 waits per second.
The total build time reduction is about 4.5%. Kernel time drops more than
10%.

its own header/source files.
* Changed vnode's bit fields to a single, atomically changeable int32 using
flags instead. Added respective accessor methods.
* Added a per-vnode mutex-like lock, which uses 2 bits of the structure and
32 global "buckets" which are used for waiter lists for the vnode locks.
* Reorganized the VFS locking a bit:
Renamed sVnodeMutex to sVnodeLock and made it an r/w lock. In most situations
it is now only read-locked to reduce its contention. The per-vnode locks guard
the fields of the vnode structure and the newly introduced sUnusedVnodesLock
has taken over the job to guard the unused vnodes list.
The main intent of the changes was to reduce the contention of the sVnodeMutex,
which was partially successful. In my standard -j8 Haiku image build test the
new sUnusedVnodesLock took over about a fourth of the former sVnodeMutex
contention, but the sVnodeLock and the vnode locks have virtually no contention
to speak of, now. A lot of contention migrated to the unrelated "pages" mutex
(another bottleneck). The overall build time dropped about 10 %.

* The kernel's _start entry function expects now a second argument, the
current CPU index. The PPC boot loader didn't initialize GPR4, passing
its second argument, the kernel entry address, as CPU index, causing
smp_cpu_rendezvous() to loop forever. This fix gets the PPC boot to a
kernel debug prompt. The CPU index is currently fixed to 0.
Thanks a lot!

guess busy vnodes are encountered so rarely that the additional overhead for
a more intelligent algorithm isn't really worth it. Reduced the wait time,
though.
