clustering is obsolescent technology so hardly anyone noticed. On
a DORS 32160 SCSI drive with 4 tags, read clustering makes very
little difference even for huge sequential reads. However, on a
ZIP SCSI drive with 0 tags, the minimum overhead per block is about
40 msec, so very large clusters must be used to get anywhere near
the maximum transfer rate. Using clusters consisting of 1 8K block
reduces the transfer rate to about 250K/sec. Under msdosfs, missing
read clustering is normal and a cluster size of 1 512 byte block
reduces the transfer rate to about 25K/sec.

The problem of execessive disk updates just to stamp atimes will be
handled for special files by only writing atimes to disk when inodes
become active. This works well because special files are relatively
uncommon and their atimes are even more disposable at panic time than
regular files' atimes.

Reverse the VFS_VRELE patch. Reference counting of vnodes does not need
to be done per-fs. I noticed this while fixing vfs layering violations.
Doing reference counting in generic code is also the preference cited by
John Heidemann in recent discussions with him.
The implementation of alternative vnode management per-fs is still a valid
requirement for some filesystems but will be revisited sometime later,
most likely using a different framework.

problems. Tor Egge and others have helped with various VM bugs
lately, but don't blame him -- blame me!!!
pmap.c:
1) Create an object for kernel page table allocations. This
fixes a bogus allocation method previously used for such, by
grabbing pages from the kernel object, using bogus pindexes.
(This was a code cleanup, and perhaps a minor system stability
issue.)
pmap.c:
2) Pre-set the modify and accessed bits when prudent. This will
decrease bus traffic under certain circumstances.
vfs_bio.c, vfs_cluster.c:
3) Rather than calculating the beginning virtual byte offset
multiple times, stick the offset into the buffer header, so
that the calculated offset can be reused. (Long long multiplies
are often expensive, and this is a probably unmeasurable performance
improvement, and code cleanup.)
vfs_bio.c:
4) Handle write recursion more intelligently (but not perfectly) so
that it is less likely to cause a system panic, and is also
much more robust.
vfs_bio.c:
5) getblk incorrectly wrote out blocks that are incorrectly sized.
The problem is fixed, and writes blocks out ONLY when B_DELWRI
is true.
vfs_bio.c:
6) Check that already constituted buffers have fully valid pages. If
not, then make sure that the B_CACHE bit is not set. (This was
a major source of Sig-11 type problems.)
vfs_bio.c:
7) Fix a potential system deadlock due to an incorrectly specified
sleep priority while waiting for a buffer write operation. The
change that I made opens the system up to serious problems, and
we need to examine the issue of process sleep priorities.
vfs_cluster.c, vfs_bio.c:
8) Make clustered reads work more correctly (and more completely)
when buffers are already constituted, but not fully valid.
(This was another system reliability issue.)
vfs_subr.c, ffs_inode.c:
9) Create a vtruncbuf function, which is used by filesystems that
can truncate files. The vinvalbuf forced a file sync type operation,
while vtruncbuf only invalidates the buffers past the new end of file,
and also invalidates the appropriate pages. (This was a system reliabiliy
and performance issue.)
10) Modify FFS to use vtruncbuf.
vm_object.c:
11) Make the object rundown mechanism for OBJT_VNODE type objects work
more correctly. Included in that fix, create pager entries for
the OBJT_DEAD pager type, so that paging requests that might slip
in during race conditions are properly handled. (This was a system
reliability issue.)
vm_page.c:
12) Make some of the page validation routines be a little less picky
about arguments passed to them. Also, support page invalidation
change the object generation count so that we handle generation
counts a little more robustly.
vm_pageout.c:
13) Further reduce pageout daemon activity when the system doesn't
need help from it. There should be no additional performance
decrease even when the pageout daemon is running. (This was
a significant performance issue.)
vnode_pager.c:
14) Teach the vnode pager to handle race conditions during vnode
deallocations.
has been some bitrot and incorrect assumptions in the vfs_bio code. These
problems have manifest themselves worse on NFS type filesystems, but can
still affect local filesystems under certain circumstances. Most of
the problems have involved mmap consistancy, and as a side-effect broke
the vfs.ioopt code. This code might have been committed seperately, but
almost everything is interrelated.
1) Allow (pmap_object_init_pt) prefaulting of buffer-busy pages that
are fully valid.
2) Rather than deactivating erroneously read initial (header) pages in
kern_exec, we now free them.
3) Fix the rundown of non-VMIO buffers that are in an inconsistent
(missing vp) state.
4) Fix the disassociation of pages from buffers in brelse. The previous
code had rotted and was faulty in a couple of important circumstances.
5) Remove a gratuitious buffer wakeup in vfs_vmio_release.
6) Remove a crufty and currently unused cluster mechanism for VBLK
files in vfs_bio_awrite. When the code is functional, I'll add back
a cleaner version.
7) The page busy count wakeups assocated with the buffer cache usage were
incorrectly cleaned up in a previous commit by me. Revert to the
original, correct version, but with a cleaner implementation.
8) The cluster read code now tries to keep data associated with buffers
more aggressively (without breaking the heuristics) when it is presumed
that the read data (buffers) will be soon needed.
9) Change to filesystem lockmgr locks so that they use LK_NOPAUSE. The
delay loop waiting is not useful for filesystem locks, due to the
length of the time intervals.
10) Correct and clean-up spec_getpages.
11) Implement a fully functional nfs_getpages, nfs_putpages.
12) Fix nfs_write so that modifications are coherent with the NFS data on
the server disk (at least as well as NFS seems to allow.)
13) Properly support MS_INVALIDATE on NFS.
14) Properly pass down MS_INVALIDATE to lower levels of the VM code from
vm_map_clean.
15) Better support the notion of pages being busy but valid, so that
fewer in-transit waits occur. (use p->busy more for pageouts instead
of PG_BUSY.) Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for
reads.
16) It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy. Make the
page allocation code handle that case correctly. (It should probably
be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors
robustly. I'll probably add a printf.)
17) Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep. It didn't handle
consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less
lofty. After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important
to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and
verify it's status (always.)
18) In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up.
19) Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush.
20) Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag
instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.
a complement to all ops that return a vpp, VFS_VRELE. This is
initially only for file systems that implement the following ops
that do a WILLRELE:
vop_create, vop_whiteout, vop_mknod, vop_remove, vop_link,
vop_rename, vop_mkdir, vop_rmdir, vop_symlink
This is initial DNA that doesn't do anything yet. VFS_VRELE is
implemented but not called.
A default vfs_vrele was created for fs implementations that use the
standard vnode management routines.
VFS_VRELE implementations were made for the following file systems:
Standard (vfs_vrele)
ffs mfs nfs msdosfs devfs ext2fs
Custom
union umapfs
Just EOPNOTSUPP
fdesc procfs kernfs portal cd9660
These implementations may change as VOP changes are implemented.
In the next phase, in the vop implementations calls to vrele and the vrele
part of vput will be moved to the top layer vfs_vnops and made visible
to all layers. vput will be replaced by unlock in these cases. Unlocking
will still be done in the per fs layer but the refcount decrement will be
triggered at the top because it doesn't hurt to hold a vnode reference a
little longer. This will have minimal impact on the structure of the
existing code.
This will only be done for vnode arguments that are released by the various
fs vop implementations.
Wider use of VFS_VRELE will likely require restructuring of the code.

These diffs implement the first stage of a VOP_{GET|PUT}PAGES pushdown
for local media FS's.
See ffs_putpages in /sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_readwrite.c for implementation
details for generic *_{get|put}pages for local media FS's. Support
is trivial to add for any FS that formerly relied on the default
behaviour of the vnode_pager in in EOPNOTSUPP cases (just copy the
ffs_getpages() code for the FS in question's *_{get|put}pages).
Obviously, it would be better if each local media FS implemented a
more optimal method, instead of calling an exported interface from
the /sys/vm/vnode_pager.c, but this is a necessary first step in
getting the FS's to a point where they can be supplied with better
implementations on a case-by-case basis.
Obviously, the cd9660_putpages() can be rather trivial (since it
is a read-only FS type 8-)).
A slight (temporary) modification is made to print a diagnostic message
in the case where the underlying filesystem attempts to engage in the
previous behaviour. Failure is likely to be ungraceful.

original BSD code. The association between the vnode and the vm_object
no longer includes reference counts. The major difference is that
vm_object's are no longer freed gratuitiously from the vnode, and so
once an object is created for the vnode, it will last as long as the
vnode does.
When a vnode object reference count is incremented, then the underlying
vnode reference count is incremented also. The two "objects" are now
more intimately related, and so the interactions are now much less
complex.
When vnodes are now normally placed onto the free queue with an object still
attached. The rundown of the object happens at vnode rundown time, and
happens with exactly the same filesystem semantics of the original VFS
code. There is absolutely no need for vnode_pager_uncache and other
travesties like that anymore.
A side-effect of these changes is that SMP locking should be much simpler,
the I/O copyin/copyout optimizations work, NFS should be more ponderable,
and further work on layered filesystems should be less frustrating, because
of the totally coherent management of the vnode objects and vnodes.
Please be careful with your system while running this code, but I would
greatly appreciate feedback as soon a reasonably possible.
