These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

/*
* Management of resident (logical) pages.
*
* A small structure is kept for each resident
* page, indexed by page number. Each structure
* is an element of several lists:
*
* A hash table bucket used to quickly
* perform object/offset lookups
*
* A list of all pages for a given object,
* so they can be quickly deactivated at
* time of deallocation.
*
* An ordered list of pages due for pageout.
*
* In addition, the structure contains the object
* and offset to which this page belongs (for pageout),
* and sundry status bits.
*
* Fields in this structure are locked either by the lock on the
* object that the page belongs to (O) or by the lock on the page
* queues (P).
The VFS/BIO subsystem contained a number of hacks in order to optimize piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however, optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations, you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further optimization in these areas. The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid = VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE. getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now formally defined in comments and more straightforward in implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear, and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite() is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also set B_CACHE indirectly. There are a number of places in the code which were previously using buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about dealing with B_DONE. Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Implement a low-memory deadlock solution. Removed most of the hacks that were trying to deal with low-memory situations prior to now. The new code is based on the concept that I/O must be able to function in a low memory situation. All major modules related to I/O (except networking) have been adjusted to allow allocation out of the system reserve memory pool. These modules now detect a low memory situation but rather then block they instead continue to operate, then return resources to the memory pool instead of cache them or leave them wired. Code has been added to stall in a low-memory situation prior to a vnode being locked. Thus situations where a process blocks in a low-memory condition while holding a locked vnode have been reduced to near nothing. Not only will I/O continue to operate, but many prior deadlock conditions simply no longer exist. Implement a number of VFS/BIO fixes (found by Ian): in biodone(), bogus-page replacement code, the loop was not properly incrementing loop variables prior to a continue statement. We do not believe this code can be hit anyway but we aren't taking any chances. We'll turn the whole section into a panic (as it already is in brelse()) after the release is rolled. In biodone(), the foff calculation was incorrectly clamped to the iosize, causing the wrong foff to be calculated for pages in the case of an I/O error or biodone() called without initiating I/O. The problem always caused a panic before. Now it doesn't. The problem is mainly an issue with NFS. Fixed casts for ~PAGE_MASK. This code worked properly before only because the calculations use signed arithmatic. Better to properly extend PAGE_MASK first before inverting it for the 64 bit masking op. In brelse(), the bogus_page fixup code was improperly throwing away the original contents of 'm' when it did the j-loop to fix the bogus pages. The result was that it would potentially invalidate parts of the *WRONG* page(!), leading to corruption. There may still be cases where a background bitmap write is being duplicated, causing potential corruption. We have identified a potentially serious bug related to this but the fix is still TBD. So instead this patch contains a KASSERT to detect the problem and panic the machine rather then continue to corrupt the filesystem. The problem does not occur very often.. it is very hard to reproduce, and it may or may not be the cause of the corruption people have reported.

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There has been some bitrot and incorrect assumptions in the vfs_bio code. These problems have manifest themselves worse on NFS type filesystems, but can still affect local filesystems under certain circumstances. Most of the problems have involved mmap consistancy, and as a side-effect broke the vfs.ioopt code. This code might have been committed seperately, but almost everything is interrelated. 1) Allow (pmap_object_init_pt) prefaulting of buffer-busy pages that are fully valid. 2) Rather than deactivating erroneously read initial (header) pages in kern_exec, we now free them. 3) Fix the rundown of non-VMIO buffers that are in an inconsistent (missing vp) state. 4) Fix the disassociation of pages from buffers in brelse. The previous code had rotted and was faulty in a couple of important circumstances. 5) Remove a gratuitious buffer wakeup in vfs_vmio_release. 6) Remove a crufty and currently unused cluster mechanism for VBLK files in vfs_bio_awrite. When the code is functional, I'll add back a cleaner version. 7) The page busy count wakeups assocated with the buffer cache usage were incorrectly cleaned up in a previous commit by me. Revert to the original, correct version, but with a cleaner implementation. 8) The cluster read code now tries to keep data associated with buffers more aggressively (without breaking the heuristics) when it is presumed that the read data (buffers) will be soon needed. 9) Change to filesystem lockmgr locks so that they use LK_NOPAUSE. The delay loop waiting is not useful for filesystem locks, due to the length of the time intervals. 10) Correct and clean-up spec_getpages. 11) Implement a fully functional nfs_getpages, nfs_putpages. 12) Fix nfs_write so that modifications are coherent with the NFS data on the server disk (at least as well as NFS seems to allow.) 13) Properly support MS_INVALIDATE on NFS. 14) Properly pass down MS_INVALIDATE to lower levels of the VM code from vm_map_clean. 15) Better support the notion of pages being busy but valid, so that fewer in-transit waits occur. (use p->busy more for pageouts instead of PG_BUSY.) Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for reads. 16) It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy. Make the page allocation code handle that case correctly. (It should probably be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors robustly. I'll probably add a printf.) 17) Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep. It didn't handle consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less lofty. After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and verify it's status (always.) 18) In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up. 19) Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush. 20) Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

Reimplement contigmalloc(9) with an algorithm which stands a greatly- improved chance of working despite pressure from running programs. Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly) at a time. The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated. The page-out operations are now blocking, as it would make little sense to try to push out a page, then get its status immediately afterward to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to have been freed. Another change is that if KVA allocation fails, the allocated memory segment will be freed and not leaked. There is a sysctl/tunable, defaulting to on, which causes the old contigmalloc() algorithm to be used. Nonetheless, I have been using vm.old_contigmalloc=0 for over a month. It is safe to switch at run-time to see the difference it makes. A new interface has been used which does not require mapping the allocated pages into KVA: vm_page.h functions vm_page_alloc_contig() and vm_page_release_contig(). These are what vm.old_contigmalloc=0 uses internally, so the sysctl/tunable does not affect their operation. When using the contigmalloc(9) and contigfree(9) interfaces, memory is now tracked with malloc(9) stats. Several functions have been exported from kern_malloc.c to allow other subsystems to use these statistics, as well. This invalidates the BUGS section of the contigmalloc(9) manpage.

At long last, commit the zero copy sockets code. MAKEDEV: Add MAKEDEV glue for the ti(4) device nodes. ti.4: Update the ti(4) man page to include information on the TI_JUMBO_HDRSPLIT and TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS kernel options, and also include information about the new character device interface and the associated ioctls. man9/Makefile: Add jumbo.9 and zero_copy.9 man pages and associated links. jumbo.9: New man page describing the jumbo buffer allocator interface and operation. zero_copy.9: New man page describing the general characteristics of the zero copy send and receive code, and what an application author should do to take advantage of the zero copy functionality. NOTES: Add entries for ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS, TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS, TI_JUMBO_HDRSPLIT, MSIZE, and MCLSHIFT. conf/files: Add uipc_jumbo.c and uipc_cow.c. conf/options: Add the 5 options mentioned above. kern_subr.c: Receive side zero copy implementation. This takes "disposable" pages attached to an mbuf, gives them to a user process, and then recycles the user's page. This is only active when ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on and the kern.ipc.zero_copy.receive sysctl variable is set to 1. uipc_cow.c: Send side zero copy functions. Takes a page written by the user and maps it copy on write and assigns it kernel virtual address space. Removes copy on write mapping once the buffer has been freed by the network stack. uipc_jumbo.c: Jumbo disposable page allocator code. This allocates (optionally) disposable pages for network drivers that want to give the user the option of doing zero copy receive. uipc_socket.c: Add kern.ipc.zero_copy.{send,receive} sysctls that are enabled if ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on. Add zero copy send support to sosend() -- pages get mapped into the kernel instead of getting copied if they meet size and alignment restrictions. uipc_syscalls.c:Un-staticize some of the sf* functions so that they can be used elsewhere. (uipc_cow.c) if_media.c: In the SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl in ifmedia_ioctl(), avoid calling malloc() with M_WAITOK. Return an error if the M_NOWAIT malloc fails. The ti(4) driver and the wi(4) driver, at least, call this with a mutex held. This causes witness warnings for 'ifconfig -a' with a wi(4) or ti(4) board in the system. (I've only verified for ti(4)). ip_output.c: Fragment large datagrams so that each segment contains a multiple of PAGE_SIZE amount of data plus headers. This allows the receiver to potentially do page flipping on receives. if_ti.c: Add zero copy receive support to the ti(4) driver. If TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS is not defined, it now uses the jumbo(9) buffer allocator for jumbo receive buffers. Add a new character device interface for the ti(4) driver for the new debugging interface. This allows (a patched version of) gdb to talk to the Tigon board and debug the firmware. There are also a few additional debugging ioctls available through this interface. Add header splitting support to the ti(4) driver. Tweak some of the default interrupt coalescing parameters to more useful defaults. Add hooks for supporting transmit flow control, but leave it turned off with a comment describing why it is turned off. if_tireg.h: Change the firmware rev to 12.4.11, since we're really at 12.4.11 plus fixes from 12.4.13. Add defines needed for debugging. Remove the ti_stats structure, it is now defined in sys/tiio.h. ti_fw.h: 12.4.11 firmware. ti_fw2.h: 12.4.11 firmware, plus selected fixes from 12.4.13, and my header splitting patches. Revision 12.4.13 doesn't handle 10/100 negotiation properly. (This firmware is the same as what was in the tree previously, with the addition of header splitting support.) sys/jumbo.h: Jumbo buffer allocator interface. sys/mbuf.h: Add a new external mbuf type, EXT_DISPOSABLE, to indicate that the payload buffer can be thrown away / flipped to a userland process. socketvar.h: Add prototype for socow_setup. tiio.h: ioctl interface to the character portion of the ti(4) driver, plus associated structure/type definitions. uio.h: Change prototype for uiomoveco() so that we'll know whether the source page is disposable. ufs_readwrite.c:Update for new prototype of uiomoveco(). vm_fault.c: In vm_fault(), check to see whether we need to do a page based copy on write fault. vm_object.c: Add a new function, vm_object_allocate_wait(). This does the same thing that vm_object allocate does, except that it gives the caller the opportunity to specify whether it should wait on the uma_zalloc() of the object structre. This allows vm objects to be allocated while holding a mutex. (Without generating WITNESS warnings.) vm_object_allocate() is implemented as a call to vm_object_allocate_wait() with the malloc flag set to M_WAITOK. vm_object.h: Add prototype for vm_object_allocate_wait(). vm_page.c: Add page-based copy on write setup, clear and fault routines. vm_page.h: Add page based COW function prototypes and variable in the vm_page structure. Many thanks to Drew Gallatin, who wrote the zero copy send and receive code, and to all the other folks who have tested and reviewed this code over the years.
