1. Clustered I/O is switched by the MNT_NOCLUSTERR and MNT_NOCLUSTERW
bits of the mnt_flag. The sysctl variables, vfs.foo.doclusterread
and vfs.foo.doclusterwrite are deleted. Only mount option can
control clustered I/O from userland.
2. When foofs_mount mounts block device, foofs_mount checks D_CLUSTERR
and D_CLUSTERW bits of the d_flags member in the block device switch
table. If D_NOCLUSTERR / D_NOCLUSTERW are set, MNT_NOCLUSTERR /
MNT_NOCLUSTERW bits will be set. In this case, MNT_NOCLUSTERR and
MNT_NOCLUSTERW cannot be cleared from userland.
3. Vnode driver disables both clustered read and write.
4. Union filesystem disables clutered write.

This unifies several times in theory indentical 50 lines of code.
The filesystems have a new method: vop_cachedlookup, which is the
meat of the lookup, and use vfs_cache_lookup() for their vop_lookup
method. vfs_cache_lookup() will check the namecache and pass on
to the vop_cachedlookup method in case of a miss.
It's still the task of the individual filesystems to populate the
namecache with cache_enter().
Filesystems that do not use the namecache will just provide the
vop_lookup method as usual.

socket addresses in mbufs. (Socket buffers are the one exception.) A number
of kernel APIs needed to get fixed in order to make this happen. Also,
fix three protocol families which kept PCBs in mbufs to not malloc them
instead. Delete some old compatibility cruft while we're at it, and add
some new routines in the in_cksum family.
keep ahold of buffers, and therefore leave filesystems dirty. I haven't
been able to test, but the code compiles. Those who run -current, please
test and report back!!! (Sorry :-)).

cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations.
The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource
management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the
vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there
always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for
use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged
down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.
have successfully built, booted, and run a number of different ELF
kernel configurations, including GENERIC. LINT also builds and
links cleanly, though I have not tried to boot it.
The impact on developers is virtually nil, except for two things.
All linker sets that might possibly be present in the kernel must be
listed in "sys/i386/i386/setdefs.h". And all C symbols that are
also referenced from assembly language code must be listed in
"sys/i386/include/asnames.h". It so happens that failure to do
these things will have no impact on the a.out kernel. But it will
break the build of the ELF kernel.
The ELF bootloader works, but it is not ready to commit quite yet.
defining doff_t both here and in <ufs/ufs/dir.h> so that this file
is independent of <ufs/ufs/dir.h>. It still has old prerequisites

<sys/lock.h>, sigh.
This might fix lsof, which was broken by namespace pollution giving
conflicting definitions of DIRBLKSIZ.

The system boots and can mount UFS filesystems.

Mount_std mounts will not work until the getfsent

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Firstly, now our read-ahead clustering is on a file descriptor basis and not
on a per-vnode basis. This will allow multiple processes reading the
same file to take advantage of read-ahead clustering. Secondly, there
previously was a problem with large reads still using the ramp-up
algorithm. Of course, that was bogus, and now we read the entire
"chunk" off of the disk in one operation. The read-ahead clustering
algorithm should use less CPU than the previous also (I hope :-)).
directories to a different parent directory always failed. This bug
was caused by 4.4Lite2 changing the directory format and ext2fs not
keeping up.
Should be in 2.2.
This fixes several bugs and one missing feature:
- cluster_read() was needlessly used for reading files of size exactly 1
block.
- EFAULT errors for read didn't terminate the loop. This was probably
harmless.
- IO_VMIO handling was missing near line 275. I don't know what this does.
- B_CLUSTEROK was only set if (doclusterwrite) nead line 293. This was
harmless, if only because another bug prevents doclusterwrite from being
0.
- MNT_NOATIME wasn't implemented.
This should be in 2.2, of course.
