630db7f99b The hardware has caught up; improvements are now observed even at 128,
but stay conservative and bump read_max to "only" 64 (it will probably be
a good idea to increase this to 128 after the next major release).

e98c5c7813 Bumping the read-ahead count once more, to value equivalent to 512 KiB on
most system, based on benchmark results on a low-end fibre channel SAN
under VMWare:

vfs.read_max		read performance
8  (historical default)	83 MB/s
16 (recent bump)	131 MB/s
32 (this version)	152 MB/s
64			157 MB/s

(results are +/- 3 MB/s)

As read-ahead is heuristic, based on past IO requests, it shouldn't be
problematic. The new default is still smaller then in other OSes.

27f11235b9 To help with sequential read UFS performance on modern systems, increase
the vfs.read_max default. For most systems this means going from 128 KiB
to 256 KiB, which is still very conservative and lower than what most
other operating systems use, but as a sane default should not
interfere much with existing systems.

For systems with RAID volumes and/or virtualization envirnments, where
read performance is very important, increasing this sysctl tunable to 32
or even more will demonstratively yield additional performance benefits.

If MAXPHYS ever gets bumped up, it will probably be a good idea to slave
read_max to it.

de0c3e0895 Correct a long-standing performance bug in cluster_rbuild(). Specifically,
in the case of a file system with a block size that is less than the page
size, cluster_rbuild() looks at too many of the page's valid bits.
Consequently, it may terminate prematurely, resulting in poor performance.

698b1a6643 - Complete part of the unfinished bufobj work by consistently using
BO_LOCK/UNLOCK/MTX when manipulating the bufobj.
 - Create a new lock in the bufobj to lock bufobj fields independently.
   This leaves the vnode interlock as an 'identity' lock while the bufobj
   is an io lock.  The bufobj lock is ordered before the vnode interlock
   and also before the mnt ilock.
 - Exploit this new lock order to simplify softdep_check_suspend().
 - A few sync related functions are marked with a new XXX to note that
   we may not properly interlock against a non-zero bv_cnt when
   attempting to sync all vnodes on a mountlist.  I do not believe this
   race is important.  If I'm wrong this will make these locations easier
   to find.

1c4bcd050a - Move rusage from being per-process in struct pstats to per-thread in
td_ru.  This removes the requirement for per-process synchronization in
   statclock() and mi_switch().  This was previously supported by
   sched_lock which is going away.  All modifications to rusage are now
   done in the context of the owning thread.  reads proceed without locks.
 - Aggregate exiting threads rusage in thread_exit() such that the exiting
   thread's rusage is not lost.
 - Provide a new routine, rufetch() to fetch an aggregate of all rusage
   structures from all threads in a process.  This routine must be used
   in any place requiring a rusage from a process prior to it's exit.  The
   exited process's rusage is still available via p_ru.
 - Aggregate tick statistics only on demand via rufetch() or when a thread
   exits.  Tick statistics are kept in the thread and protected by sched_lock
   until it exits.

5bb84bc84b Normalize a significant number of kernel malloc type names:
- 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.

also VI_MTX() to BO_MTX(),

Make buf_vlist_add() take a bufobj instead of a vnode.

fde81c7d8e Update the statfs structure with 64-bit fields to allow
accurate reporting of multi-terabyte filesystem sizes.

You should build and boot a new kernel BEFORE doing a `make world'
as the new kernel will know about binaries using the old statfs
structure, but an old kernel will not know about the new system
calls that support the new statfs structure. Running an old kernel
after a `make world' will cause programs such as `df' that do a
statfs system call to fail with a bad system call.

9dbfeb0ae6 - Move BX_BKGRDWAIT and BX_BKGRDINPROG to BV_ and the b_vflags field.
- Surround all accesses of the BKGRD{WAIT,INPROG} flags with the vnode
   interlock.
 - Don't use the B_LOCKED flag and QUEUE_LOCKED for background write
   buffers.  Check for the BKGRDINPROG flag before recycling or throwing
   away a buffer.  We do this instead because it is not safe for us to move
   the original buffer to a new queue from the callback on the background
   write buffer.
 - Remove the B_LOCKED flag and the locked buffer queue.  They are no longer
   used.
 - The vnode interlock is used around checks for BKGRDINPROG where it may
   not be strictly necessary.  If we hold the buf lock the a back-ground
   write will not be started without our knowledge, one may only be
   completed while we're not looking.  Rather than remove the code, Document
   two of the places where this extra locking is done.  A pass should be
   done to verify and minimize the locking later.

ad6adb4f18 In cluster_wbuild(), initialise b_iocmd to BIO_WRITE before calling
buf_start() to avoid triggering a panic in softdep_disk_io_initiation()
if b_iocmd happened to be BIO_READ. The later initialisation of
b_iocmd in cluster_wbuild() could probably be moved to before the
buf_start() call, but this patch keeps the change as simple as
possible.

This is reported to fix occasional "softdep_disk_io_initiation: read"
panics, especially on NFS servers.
