* the page writer don't allow to block, while all other writers do. This fixes
bug #1509. The reason the page writer needs this is because it marks several
pages from different caches as busy.
* Fixed a warning about ASSERT being defined already in BFS, since
util/DoublyLinkedList.h now includes debug.h.

to the private VM types are including vm_types.h now.
* Removed vm_page, vm_area, vm_cache, and vm_address_space typedefs; it's
cleaner this way, and the actual types are only used in C++ files now,
anyway.
* And that caused changes in many files...
* Made commpage.h self-containing.
* Minor cleanup.

is tracked while the page scanner runs much slower. Now, we just set it to a
fixed positive, so that they can easily age in case they are actually unused.

are locked, there is now a vm_page_reserve_pages() call to ensure upfront that
there is a page for me when I need it, and may have locked some caches.
* The vm_soft_fault() routine now makes use of that feature.
* vm_page_allocate_page() now resets the vm_page::usage_count, so that the file
cache does not need to do this in read_chunk_into_cache() and
write_chunk_to_cache().
* In cache_io() however, it need to update the usage_count - and it does that
now. Since non-mapped caches don't have mappings, the page scanner will punish
the cache pages stronger than other pages which is accidently just what we
want.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22319 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Removed the vm_cache/vm_store ref_count duality that besides being a bit ugly
also created the page dameon cache retrieval problem: now, only areas (and
cache consumers) retrieve a reference to the store (and therefore, the vnode).
The page daemon doesn't need to care about this at all anymore, and the pseudo
references of the vm_cache could be removed again.
* Rearranged deletion of vnodes such that its ID can be reused directly after
fs_remove_vnode() has been called.
* vm_page_allocate_page() no longer panics when it runs out of pages, but just
waits for new pages to become available using the new sFreeCondition condition
variable - to make sure this happens in an acceptable time frame, it'll
trigger a run of the low memory handlers.
* Implemented a page_thief() that steals inactive pages from caches and puts
them into the free queue. It runs as a low memory handler.
* The file cache now sets the usage count on the pages it inserts into the
cache (needs some rework though, cache_io() doesn't do it yet).
* Instead of panicking, the kernel will currently dead lock in low memory
situations, since BFS does a bit too much in bfs_release_vnode().
* Some minor cleanup.

correct values (resolving a TODO); however, the latter doesn't do anything
with those yet.
* Cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22154 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
since fault_find_page() does no longer insert a dummy page into a cache
that has a store from which it can read the page.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21887 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Removed a few instances where the page state was set busy directly after
allocating it. This is a no-op, since a page is always busy after
allocation.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21875 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
removed in several cases.
* vfs_get_vnode_cache() now always gives out a reference to the cache it
returns; if it needs to allocate a new one, the vnode owns one reference,
and the caller another.
* therefore, file_cache_create() now owns a reference to its vm_cache_ref, and
frees it in file_cache_delete().
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21533 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
small to hold the information for the requested I/O size.
* get_file_map() returned B_BUFFER_OVERFLOW already in case the array
was exactly as large as needed.
* read_chunk_into_cache() and write_chunk_to_cache() will no longer
override their local "size" variable.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@20509 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added a few comments.
* Simplified the nested while loops by dropping the special handling for the
first iovec and restructuring the innermost loop. This also rules out
the possibility of a zero-length temporary vec. IMHO the readability
has improved quite a bit (YMMV :-). Hopefully without introducing new
bugs; please review!
* Corrected computation of totalSize in case less than size has been
read/written.
* Also set *_numBytes in case all fileVecs have been processed. Only
relevant in case the request extends beyond the end of file.

filling them which could have written over the stack, and their iovec length
was set for the wrong iovec, potentially clobbering any memory.
* The first tempVec was usually empty, anyway, as the wrong iovec was chosen
to start from (usually one too early).
* The tempVec loop is now repeated until the whole fileVec is completed.
* Minor cleanup.

would start with the first block in the unused blocks list, but then
continue with the blocks that share the same hash table slot, thus
freeing potentially used blocks. Could theoretically have caused
BFS to see and write incorrect meta/administrative data on certain
occasions.

* NewBlock()/FreeBlock() are now symmetrical in that the former no longer inserts
the block into the hash table.
* delete_transaction() also no longer removes the transaction from the hash table.
* cache_transaction_sync() now uses the new hash_remove_current() function.
* minor other cleanup (like line breaks).

but FreeBlock() only frees it).

* Doing so will now result in a kernel panic whenever your file system tries to
write to a block.

will now grab a reference to the vnode as well if successful. This way, vfs_get_vnode_cache()
now actually works how it should: it will now always grab a reference to the cache and
its underlying vnode. This removes an extra reference to the vnode (and vm_cache) that
got ignored before and prevented volumes to be unmounted (or file caches to be removed).
Thanks to Korli for pointing this out.
* file_cache_create() is now aware of that extra vnode reference and releases it; unmounting
volumes is now working again as it should.

like overwriting data outside the file (but on that same partition only).

right)

systems a chance to know if they have locked already.
This fixes a locking problem in BFS where one thread tried to acquire two read
locks (where someone else trying to acquire a write lock would have caused a
dead lock).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@17108 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
since it unlocked the cache while waiting on a busy page. Now, we're filling
the pending request before unlocking the cache.
* Fixed the deadlock I mentioned in the last commit: if a page fault happens
at the same time we're trying to read/write from/to a page, we no longer
fight for the BFS inode lock, but eventually doing the job twice if needed.
Will need to go over the "write modified" functions to make sure they are
behaving as well.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@17091 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Adapt other sources where needed (the boot loader's RootFileSystem still
used the old implementation).
* Implemented RootFileSystem::Rewind().

blocks - this is not enough, though as it would also need to ask other
volumes to free ranges.
* Increased the number of blocks to free in case of low memory.

* cached_block::parent_data can be NULL in a sub transaction in case the
block wasn't part of the parent transaction (but not in low memory
situations). cache_abort_sub_transaction() and cache_detach_sub_transaction()
didn't account for this, though, ie. the block data could end up
corrupted.
* Renamed cached_block::original in original_data.
* Renamed cached_block::data in current_data.
* Added some comments.

cache_abort_sub_transaction now doesn't crash if parent_cache is NULL (happens in low memory situations)
Axel, please review and fix if needed

{HAIKU,HOST,TARGET}_KERNEL_PIC_{CC,LINK}FLAGS which define the
compiler/linker flags specifying the kind of position independence
the kernel shall have. For x86 we had and still have -fno-pic, but the
PPC kernel has -fPIE (position independent executable) now, as we
need to relocate it.
* The boot loader relocates the kernel now. Mostly copied the relocation
code from the kernel ELF loader. Almost completely rewrote the PPC
specific relocation code, though. It's more correct and more complete now
(some things are still missing though).
* Added boot platform awareness to the kernel. Moved the generic
Open Firmware code (openfirmware.c/h) from the boot loader to the kernel.
* The kernel PPC serial debug output is sent to the console for the time
being.
* The PPC boot loader counts the CPUs now and allocates the kernel stacks
(made OF device iteration a bit more flexible on the way -- the search
can be restricted to subtree). Furthermore we really enter the kernel...
(Yay! :-) ... and crash in the first dprintf() (in the atomic_set()
called by acquire_spinlock()). kprintf() works, though.

as cached_block::data - which led to a crash as block_cache::FreeBlock() tried to
free both later.
Since neither cached_block::parent_data nor cached_block::original are supposed
to be != NULL in block_cache::FreeBlock(), they are no longer freed, but the system
panics if one of them is not NULL.
This should fix bug #77.

and thus, it could be used again which led to a crash.
Changed the free ranges list from a singly linked list to a doubly linked
list so that not all free ranges have to be searched for the one to be
freed anymore.

vm_cache_ref starts with a reference count of 1. When acquiring a vm_cache,
you no longer need to worry if that should go through the vm_store, or not;
as it now always does.
* map_backing_store() no longer needs to play with the vm_cache_ref
references.
* that simplified some code.
* vfs_get_vnode_cache() now grabs a reference to the cache, if successful.
* better balanced vnode ownership on vnode_store creation (vnode_store
released the vnode before if its creation failed).
