Don't hold the scheduler lock while doing context switches. Instead we
unlock after selecting the new thread and switch within a spinlock
section leaving interrupts and preemption disabled to prevent local
concurrency. This means that mi_switch() is entered with the thread
locked but returns without. This dramatically simplifies scheduler
locking because we will not hold the schedlock while spinning on
blocked lock in switch.
This change has not been made to 4BSD but in principle it would be
more straightforward.

extended attributes, the kernel can panic with either "ffs_truncate3"
or with "softdep_deallocate_dependencies: dangling deps".
The problem arises because the flushbuflist() function which is
called to clear out buffers is passed either the V_NORMAL flag to
indicate that it should flush buffer associated with the contents
of the file or the V_ALT flag to indicate that it should flush the
buffers associated with the extended attribute data. The buffers
containing the extended attribute data are identified by having
their BX_ALTDATA flag set in the buffer's b_xflags field. The
BX_ALTDATA flag is set on the buffer when the extended attribute
block is first allocated or when its contents are read in from the
disk.
On a busy system, a buffer may be reused for another purpose, but
the contents of the block that it contained continues to be held
in the main page cache. Each physical page is identified as holding
the contents of a logical block within a specified file (identified
by a vnode). When a request is made to read a file, the kernel first
looks for the block in the existing buffers. If it is not found
there, it checks the page cache to see if it is still there. If
it is found in the page cache, then it is remapped into a new
buffer thus avoiding the need to read it in from the disk.
The bug is that when a buffer request made for an extended attribute
is fulfilled by reconstituting a buffer from the page cache rather
than reading it in from disk, the BX_ALTDATA flag was not being
set. Thus the flushbuflist() function would never clear it out and
the "ffs_truncate3" panic would occur because the vnode being cleared
still had buffers on its clean-buffer list. If the extended attribute
was being updated, it is first read, then updated, and finally
written. If the read is fulfilled by reconstituting the buffer
from the page cache the BX_ALTDATA flag was not set and thus the
dirty buffer would never be flushed by flushbuflist(). Eventually
the buffer would be recycled. Since it was never written it would
have an unfinished dependency which would trigger the
"softdep_deallocate_dependencies: dangling deps" panic.
The fix is to ensure that the BX_ALTDATA flag is set when a buffer
has been reconstituted from the page cache.

Previously, wiring a page would cause it to be removed from its page
queue. In the common case, unwiring causes it to be enqueued at the tail
of that page queue. This change modifies vm_page_wire() to not dequeue
the page, thus avoiding the highly contended page queue locks. Instead,
vm_page_unwire() takes care of requeuing the page as a single operation,
and the page daemon dequeues wired pages as they are encountered during
a queue scan to avoid needlessly revisiting them later. For pages in
PQ_ACTIVE we do even better, since a requeue is unnecessary.
The change improves scalability for some common workloads. For instance,
threads wiring pages into the buffer cache no longer need to modify
global page queues, and unwiring is usually done by the bufspace thread,
so concurrency is not as much of an issue. As another example, many
sysctl handlers wire the output buffer to avoid faults on copyout, and
since the buffer is likely to be in PQ_ACTIVE, we now entirely avoid
modifying the page queue in this case.
The change also adds a block comment describing some properties of
struct vm_page's reference counters, and the busy lock.

systems running with a heavy filesystem load. Tracking down this
bug was elusive because there were actually two problems. Sometimes
the in-memory check hash was wrong and sometimes the check hash
computed when doing the read was wrong. The occurrence of either
error caused a check-hash mismatch to be reported.
The first error was that the check hash in the in-memory cylinder
group was incorrect. This error was caused by the following
sequence of events:
- We read a cylinder-group buffer and the check hash is valid.
- We update its cg_time and cg_old_time which makes the in-memory
check-hash value invalid but we do not mark the cylinder group dirty.
- We do not make any other changes to the cylinder group, so we
never mark it dirty, thus do not write it out, and hence never
update the incorrect check hash for the in-memory buffer.
- Later, the buffer gets freed, but the page with the old incorrect
check hash is still in the VM cache.
- Later, we read the cylinder group again, and the first page with
the old check hash is still in the VM cache, but some other pages
are not, so we have to do a read.
- The read does not actually get the first page from disk, but rather
from the VM cache, resulting in the old check hash in the buffer.
- The value computed after doing the read does not match causing the
error to be printed.
The fix for this problem is to only set cg_time and cg_old_time as
the cylinder group is being written to disk. This keeps the in-memory
check-hash valid unless the cylinder group has had other modifications
which will require it to be written with a new check hash calculated.
It also requires that the check hash be recalculated in the in-memory
cylinder group when it is marked clean after doing a background write.
The second problem was that the check hash computed at the end of the
read was incorrect because the calculation of the check hash on
completion of the read was being done too soon.
- When a read completes we had the following sequence:
- bufdone()
-- b_ckhashcalc (calculates check hash)
-- bufdone_finish()
--- vfs_vmio_iodone() (replaces bogus pages with the cached ones)
- When we are reading a buffer where one or more pages are already
in memory (but not all pages, or we wouldn't be doing the read),
the I/O is done with bogus_page mapped in for the pages that exist
in the VM cache. This mapping is done to avoid corrupting the
cached pages if there is any I/O overrun. The vfs_vmio_iodone()
function is responsible for replacing the bogus_page(s) with the
cached ones. But we were calculating the check hash before the
bogus_page(s) were replaced. Hence, when we were calculating the
check hash, we were partly reading from bogus_page, which means
we calculated a bad check hash (e.g., because multiple pages have
been mapped to bogus_page, so its contents are indeterminate).
The second fix is to move the check-hash calculation from bufdone()
to bufdone_finish() after the call to vfs_vmio_iodone() so that it
computes the check hash over the correct set of pages.
With these two changes, the occasional cylinder-group check-hash
errors are gone.

check hash to cylinder groups. If a check hash fails when a cylinder
group is read, no further allocations are attempted in that cylinder
group until it has been fixed by fsck. This avoids a class of
filesystem panics related to corrupted cylinder group maps. The
hash is done using crc32c.
Check hases are added only to UFS2 and not to UFS1 as UFS1 is primarily
used in embedded systems with small memories and low-powered processors
which need as light-weight a filesystem as possible.
Specifics of the changes:
sys/sys/buf.h:
Add BX_FSPRIV to reserve a set of eight b_xflags that may be used
by individual filesystems for their own purpose. Their specific
definitions are found in the header files for each filesystem
that uses them. Also add fields to struct buf as noted below.
sys/kern/vfs_bio.c:
It is only necessary to compute a check hash for a cylinder
group when it is actually read from disk. When calling bread,
you do not know whether the buffer was found in the cache or
read. So a new flag (GB_CKHASH) and a pointer to a function to
perform the hash has been added to breadn_flags to say that the
function should be called to calculate a hash if the data has
been read. The check hash is placed in b_ckhash and the B_CKHASH
flag is set to indicate that a read was done and a check hash
calculated. Though a rather elaborate mechanism, it should
also work for check hashing other metadata in the future. A
kernel internal API change was to change breada into a static
fucntion and add flags and a function pointer to a check-hash
function.
sys/ufs/ffs/fs.h:
Add flags for types of check hashes; stored in a new word in the
superblock. Define corresponding BX_ flags for the different types
of check hashes. Add a check hash word in the cylinder group.
sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_alloc.c:
In ffs_getcg do the dance with breadn_flags to get a check hash and
if one is provided, check it.
sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_vfsops.c:
Copy across the BX_FFSTYPES flags in background writes.
Update the check hash when writing out buffers that need them.
sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_snapshot.c:
Recompute check hash when updating snapshot cylinder groups.
sys/libkern/crc32.c:
lib/libufs/Makefile:
lib/libufs/libufs.h:
lib/libufs/cgroup.c:
Include libkern/crc32.c in libufs and use it to compute check
hashes when updating cylinder groups.

While these locks are guarnteed to not share their respective cache lines,
their current placement leaves unnecessary holes in lines which preceeded them.

only calls biowait() on BIOs that do not specify a handler, so this change
should not have any functional impact.

The swap pager enqueues laundered pages near the head of the inactive queue
to avoid another trip through LRU before reclamation. This change adds
support for this behaviour to the vnode pager and makes use of it in UFS and
ext2fs. Some ioflag handling is consolidated into a common subroutine so
that this support can be easily extended to other filesystems which make use
of the buffer cache. No changes are needed for ZFS since its putpages
routine always undirties the pages before returning, and the laundry
thread requeues the pages appropriately in this case.

Although the higher end MIPS hardware handles cache aliasing issues in
hardware, the older cores (r4k, etc) and some compile versions of the
newer cores (mips24k, mips34k, mips74k) don't have this feature.
This means we end up with some very unfortunate behaviour that was
made very obvious by some recent changes to the FFS pager by kib.
So, flip this off until we get our MIPS pmap/cache code upgraded to
handle aliased pages in software.

Upstream the BUF_TRACKING and FULL_BUF_TRACKING buffer debugging code.
This can be handy in tracking down what code touched hung bios and bufs
last. The full history is especially useful, but adds enough bloat that
it shouldn't be enabled in release builds.
Function names (or arbitrary string constants) are tracked in a
fixed-size ring in bufs. Bios gain a pointer to the upper buf for
tracking. SCSI CCBs gain a pointer to the upper bio for tracking.

Suppose that we have an exclusively busy page, and a thread which can
accept shared-busy page. In this case, typical code waiting for the
page xbusy state to pass is
again:
VM_OBJECT_WLOCK(object);
...
if (vm_page_xbusied(m)) {
vm_page_lock(m);
VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK(object); <---1
vm_page_busy_sleep(p, "vmopax");
goto again;
}
Suppose that the xbusy state owner locked the object, unbusied the
page and unlocked the object after we are at the line [1], but before we
executed the load of the busy_lock word in vm_page_busy_sleep(). If it
happens that there is still no waiters recorded for the busy state,
the xbusy owner did not acquired the page lock, so it proceeded.
More, suppose that some other thread happen to share-busy the page
after xbusy state was relinquished but before the m->busy_lock is read
in vm_page_busy_sleep(). Again, that thread only needs vm_object lock
to proceed. Then, vm_page_busy_sleep() reads busy_lock value equal to
the VPB_SHARERS_WORD(1).
In this case, all tests in vm_page_busy_sleep(9) pass and we are going
to sleep, despite the page being share-busied.
Update check for m->busy_lock == VPB_UNBUSIED in vm_page_busy_sleep(9)
to also accept shared-busy state if we only wait for the xbusy state to
pass.
Merge sequential if()s with the same 'then' clause in
vm_page_busy_sleep().
Note that the current code does not share-busy pages from parallel
threads, the only way to have more that one sbusy owner is right now
is to recurse.

a buffer pointer in the event of an error (for some errors it would
return a buffer pointer and for other errors it would not return a
buffer pointer). The cluster_read() function was similarly inconsistent.
Clients of these functions were inconsistent in handling errors.
Some would assume that no buffer was returned after an error and
would thus lose buffers under certain error conditions. Others would
assume that brelse() should always be called after an error and
would thus panic the system under certain error conditions.
To correct both of these problems with minimal code churn, bread()
and cluster_write() now always free the buffer when returning an
error thus ensuring that buffers will never be lost. The brelse()
routine checks for being passed a NULL buffer pointer and silently
returns to avoid panics. Thus both approaches to handling error
returns from bread() and cluster_read() will work correctly.
Future code should be written assuming that bread() and cluster_read()
will never return a buffer with an error, so should not attempt to
brelse() the buffer when an error is returned.

Because of this, we are stuck in a tight loop in the current process and

of POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED so that it causes the backing pages to be moved to
the head of the inactive queue instead of being cached.
This affects the implementation of POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE as well, since it
works by applying POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED to file ranges after they have been
read or written. At that point the corresponding buffers may still be
dirty, so the previous implementation would coalesce successive ranges and
apply POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED to the result, ensuring that pages backing the
dirty buffers would eventually be cached. To preserve this behaviour in an
efficient manner, this change adds a new buf flag, B_NOREUSE, which causes
the pages backing a VMIO buf to be placed at the head of the inactive queue
when the buf is released. POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE then works by setting this
flag in bufs that underlie the specified range.
