of the the first cluster in a file (and, if the allocation cannot be
continued contiguously, for subsequent clusters in a file) was randomized
in an attempt to leave space for contiguous allocation of subsequent
clusters in each file when there are multiple writers. This reduced
internal fragmentation by a few percent, but it increased external
fragmentation by up to a few thousand percent.
Use simple sequential allocation instead. Actually maintain the fsinfo
sequence index for this. The read and write of this index from/to
disk still have many non-critical bugs, but we now write an index that
has something to do with our allocations instead of being modified
garbage. If there is no fsinfo on the disk, then we maintain the index
internally and don't go near the bugs for writing it.
Allocating the first free cluster gives a layout that is almost as good
(better in some cases), but takes too much CPU if the FAT is large and
the first free cluster is not near the beginning.
The effect of this change for untar and tar of a slightly reduced copy
of /usr/src on a new file system was:
Before (msdosfs 4K-clusters):
untar: 459.57 real untar from cached file (actually a pipe)
tar: 342.50 real tar from uncached tree to /dev/zero
Before (ffs2 soft updates 4K-blocks 4K-frags)
untar: 39.18 real
tar: 29.94 real
Before (ffs2 soft updates 16K-blocks 2K-frags)
untar: 31.35 real
tar: 18.30 real
After (msdosfs 4K-clusters):
untar 54.83 real
tar 16.18 real
All of these times can be improved further.
With multiple concurrent writers or readers (especially readers), the
improvement is smaller, but I couldn't find any case where it is
negative. 342 seconds for tarring up about 342 MB on a ~47MB/S partition
is just hard to unimprove on. (This operation would take about 7.3
seconds with reasonably localized allocation and perfect read-ahead.)
However, for active file systems, 342 seconds is closer to normal than
the 16+ seconds above or the 11 seconds with other changes (best I've
measured -- won easily by msdosfs!). E.g., my active /usr/src on ffs1
is quite old and fragmented, so reading to prepare for the above
benchmark takes about 6 times longer than reading back the fresh copies
of it.

Change getnewvnode() to no longer call insmntque(). Previously,
embryonic vnodes were put onto the list of vnode belonging to a file

Change vfs_hash_insert() to no longer lock the vnode. The caller now

LCASE_BASE or LCASE_EXT or both are set. But dos2unixfn uses
dos2unixchr separately for the basename and the extension. So if
either LCASE_BASE or LCASE_EXT is set, dos2unixfn will convert both
the basename and extension to lowercase because it is blindly
passing in the state of both flags to dos2unixchr. The bit masks I
used ensure that only the state of LCASE_BASE gets passed to
dos2unixchr when the basename is converted, and only the state of
LCASE_EXT is passed in when the extension is converted.

last few days. I tracked it down to the fact that nfs_reclaim()
is setting vp->v_data to NULL _before_ calling vnode_destroy_object().
After silence from the mailing list I checked further and discovered
that ufs_reclaim() is unique among FreeBSD filesystems for calling
vnode_destroy_object() early, long before tossing v_data or much
of anything else, for that matter. The rest, including NFS, appear
to be identical, as if they were just clones of one original routine.
The enclosed patch fixes all file systems in essentially the same
way, by moving the call to vnode_destroy_object() to early in the
routine (before the call to vfs_hash_remove(), if any). I have
only tested NFS, but I've now run for over eighteen hours with the
patch where I wouldn't get past four or five without it.

- Prefer '_' to ' ', as it results in more easily parsed results in
memory monitoring tools such as vmstat.
- Remove punctuation that is incompatible with using memory type names
as file names, such as '/' characters.
- Disambiguate some collisions by adding subsystem prefixes to some
memory types.
- Generally prefer lower case to upper case.
- If the same type is defined in multiple architecture directories,
attempt to use the same name in additional cases.
Not all instances were caught in this change, so more work is required to
finish this conversion. Similar changes are required for UMA zone names.
There seems to be very little documentary evidence outside this
implementation to suggest a these checks are neccessary, and more
than one camera-formatted flash disk fails the check, but mounts
successfully on most other systems.

If a character cannot be converted to DOS code page,
unix2doschr() returned `0'. As a result, unix2dosfn()
was forced to return `0', so we saw a file which was
composed of these characters as `Invalid argument'.
To correct this, if a character can be converted to
Unicode, unix2doschr() now returns `1' which is a magic
number to make unix2dosfn() know that the character
must be converted to `_'.
[2] unix2dosfn()
The above-mentioned solution only works if a file
has both of Unicode name and DOS code page name.
Unicode name would not be recorded if file name
can be settled within 11 bytes (DOS short name)
and if no conversion from Unix charset to DOS code
page has occurred. Thus, FreeBSD can create a file
which has only short name, but there is no guarantee
that the short name contains allways valid characters
because we leave it to people by using mount_msdosfs(8)
to select which conversion is used between DOS code
page and unix charset.
To avoid this, Unicode file name should be recorded
unless a character is an ascii character. This is
the way Windows XP do.

Since the name cache is case-sensitive and msdosfs isn't,
creating a file 'foo' won't invalidate a negative entry for 'FOO'.
There are similar problems related to 8.3 filenames.
A better solution is to override VOP_LOOKUP with a method that
canonicalizes the name, then calls vfs_cache_lookup(). Unfortunately,
it's not quite that simple because vfs_cache_lookup() will call
msdosfs_lookup() on a cache miss, and msdosfs_lookup() needs a way to
get at the original component name.
than WIN_CHARS bytes, we shift the suffix (previous substrings) upwards
by the amount this substring exceeds its WIN_CHARS slot. Profiling shows
this change is indistinguishable from the previous code at 95% confidence.
This bug would result in attempts to access or create files or directories
with multi-byte characters returning an error but no data loss.
