and flags with an sxlock. This leads to a significant and measurable
performance improvement as a result of access to shared locking for
frequent lookup operations, reduced general overhead, and reduced overhead
in the event of contention. All of these are imported for threaded
applications where simultaneous access to a shared file descriptor array
occurs frequently. Kris has reported 2x-4x transaction rate improvements
on 8-core MySQL benchmarks; smaller improvements can be expected for many
workloads as a result of reduced overhead.
- Generally eliminate the distinction between "fast" and regular
acquisisition of the filedesc lock; the plan is that they will now all
be fast. Change all locking instances to either shared or exclusive
locks.
- Correct a bug (pointed out by kib) in fdfree() where previously msleep()
was called without the mutex held; sx_sleep() is now always called with
the sxlock held exclusively.
- Universally hold the struct file lock over changes to struct file,
rather than the filedesc lock or no lock. Always update the f_ops
field last. A further memory barrier is required here in the future
(discussed with jhb).
- Improve locking and reference management in linux_at(), which fails to
properly acquire vnode references before using vnode pointers. Annotate
improper use of vn_fullpath(), which will be replaced at a future date.
In fcntl(), we conservatively acquire an exclusive lock, even though in
some cases a shared lock may be sufficient, which should be revisited.
The dropping of the filedesc lock in fdgrowtable() is no longer required
as the sxlock can be held over the sleep operation; we should consider
removing that (pointed out by attilio).

We have to adjust curthread's state enough so that it appears to be
in a poll(2) or select(2) call so that selrecord() will work and then
teardown that state after calling sopoll().
- Fix some minor nits in nearby ncp_sock_rselect() and in the identical
nbssn_rselect() function in the netsmb code:
- Don't call nb_poll()/ncp_poll() now that ncp_poll() already fakes up
poll(2) state since the rselect() functions already do that. Just
invoke sopoll() directly.
- To make things slightly more intuitive, store the results of sopoll()
in a new 'revents' variable rather than 'error' since that's what
sopoll() actually returns.
- If the requested timeout time has been exceeded by the time we get
ready to block, then return EWOULDBLOCK rather than 0 to signal a

This completes an architectural change that was begun in 1996 to permit

flags relating to several aspects of socket functionality. This change
breaks out several bits relating to send and receive operation into a
new per-socket buffer field, sb_state, in order to facilitate locking.
This is required because, in order to provide more granular locking of
sockets, different state fields have different locking properties. The
following fields are moved to sb_state:
SS_CANTRCVMORE (so_state)
SS_CANTSENDMORE (so_state)
SS_RCVATMARK (so_state)
Rename respectively to:
SBS_CANTRCVMORE (so_rcv.sb_state)
SBS_CANTSENDMORE (so_snd.sb_state)
SBS_RCVATMARK (so_rcv.sb_state)
This facilitates locking by isolating fields to be located with other
identically locked fields, and permits greater granularity in socket
locking by avoiding storing fields with different locking semantics in
the same short (avoiding locking conflicts). In the future, we may
wish to coallesce sb_state and sb_flags; for the time being I leave
them separate and there is no additional memory overhead due to the
packing/alignment of shorts in the socket buffer structure.

goto and abstracted by the itry, ithrow and icatch macros (among
others). The problem with this code is that it doesn't compile on
ia64. The compiler is sufficiently confused that it inserts a call
to __ia64_save_stack_nonlock(). This is a magic function that saves
enough of the stack to allow for non-local gotos, such as would be
the case for nested functions. Since it's not a compiler defined
function, it needs a runtime implementation. This we have not in a
standalone compilation as is the kernel.
There's no indication that the compiler is not confused on other
platforms. It's likely that saving the stack in those cases is
trivial enough that the compiler doesn't need to off-load the
complexity to a runtime function.
The code is believed to be correctly translated, but has not been
tested. The overall structure remained the same, except that it's
made explicit. The macros that implement the try/catch construct
have been removed to avoid reintroduction of their use. It's not
a good idea.
In general the rewritten code is slightly more optimal in that it
doesn't need as much stack space and generally is smaller in size.

Several of the subtypes have an associated vnode which is used for
stuff like the f*() functions.
By giving the vnode a speparate field, a number of checks for the specific
subtype can be replaced simply with a check for f_vnode != NULL, and
we can later free f_data up to subtype specific use.
At this point in time, f_data still points to the vnode, so any code I
might have overlooked will still work.
