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.

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.

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.

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.
