d331c5d43f Replace the global buffer hash table with per-vnode splay trees using a
methodology similar to the vm_map_entry splay and the VM splay that Alan
Cox is working on.  Extensive testing has appeared to have shown no
increase in overhead.

Disadvantages
    Dirties more cache lines during lookups.

    Not as fast as a hash table lookup (but still N log N and optimal
    when there is locality of reference).

Advantages
    vnode->v_dirtyblkhd is now perfectly sorted, making fsync/sync/filesystem
    syncer operate more efficiently.

    I get to rip out all the old hacks (some of which were mine) that tried
    to keep the v_dirtyblkhd tailq sorted.

    The per-vnode splay tree should be easier to lock / SMPng pushdown on
    vnodes will be easier.

    This commit along with another that Alan is working on for the VM page
    global hash table will allow me to implement ranged fsync(), optimize
    server-side nfs commit rpcs, and implement partial syncs by the
    filesystem syncer (aka filesystem syncer would detect that someone is
    trying to get the vnode lock, remembers its place, and skip to the
    next vnode).

Note that the buffer cache splay is somewhat more complex then other splays
due to special handling of background bitmap writes (multiple buffers with
the same lblkno in the same vnode), and B_INVAL discontinuities between the
old hash table and the existence of the buffer on the v_cleanblkhd list.

1c85e6a35d This commit adds basic support for the UFS2 filesystem. The UFS2
filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit
block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability
to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density,
and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block
size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space
for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1
filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either
UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is
the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems,
you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when
UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for
reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c)
as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the
boot block is increased, this code can be defined.

Things to note: the definition of SBSIZE has changed to SBLOCKSIZE.
The header file <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> must be included before
<ufs/ffs/fs.h> so as to get the definitions of ufs2_daddr_t and
ufs_lbn_t.

Still TODO:
Verify that the first level bootstraps work for all the architectures.
Convert the utility ffsinfo to understand UFS2 and test growfs.
Add support for the extended attribute storage. Update soft updates
to ensure integrity of extended attribute storage. Switch the
current extended attribute interfaces to use the extended attribute
storage. Add the extent like functionality (framework is there,
but is currently never used).

0d2af52141 Introduce the new 64-bit size disk block, daddr64_t. Change
the bio and buffer structures to have daddr64_t bio_pblkno,
b_blkno, and b_lblkno fields which allows access to disks
larger than a Terabyte in size. This change also requires
that the VOP_BMAP vnode operation accept and return daddr64_t
blocks. This delta should not affect system operation in
any way. It merely sets up the necessary interfaces to allow
the development of disk drivers that work with these larger
disk block addresses. It also allows for the development of
UFS2 which will use 64-bit block addresses.

7e76bb562e Implement IO_NOWDRAIN and B_NOWDRAIN - prevents the buffer cache from blocking
in wdrain during a write.  This flag needs to be used in devices whos
strategy routines turn-around and issue another high level I/O, such as
when MD turns around and issues a VOP_WRITE to vnode backing store, in order
to avoid deadlocking the dirty buffer draining code.

Remove a vprintf() warning from MD when the backing vnode is found to be
in-use.  The syncer of buf_daemon could be flushing the backing vnode at
the time of an MD operation so the warning is not correct.

0cddd8f023 With Alfred's permission, remove vm_mtx in favor of a fine-grained approach
(this commit is just the first stage).  Also add various GIANT_ macros to
formalize the removal of Giant, making it easy to test in a more piecemeal
fashion. These macros will allow us to test fine-grained locks to a degree
before removing Giant, and also after, and to remove Giant in a piecemeal
fashion via sysctl's on those subsystems which the authors believe can
operate without Giant.

ac8f990bde This patch implements O_DIRECT about 80% of the way. It takes a patchset
Tor created a while ago, removes the raw I/O piece (that has cache coherency
problems), and adds a buffer cache / VM freeing piece.

Essentially this patch causes O_DIRECT I/O to not be left in the cache, but
does not prevent it from going through the cache, hence the 80%.  For
the last 20% we need a method by which the I/O can be issued directly to
buffer supplied by the user process and bypass the buffer cache entirely,
but still maintain cache coherency.

I also have the code working under -stable but the changes made to sys/file.h
may not be MFCable, so an MFC is not on the table yet.

vm_mtx does not recurse and is required for most low level
vm operations.

faults can not be taken without holding Giant.

Memory subsystems can now call the base page allocators safely.

Almost all atomic ops were removed as they are covered under the
vm mutex.

Alpha and ia64 now need to catch up to i386's trap handlers.

FFS and NFS have been tested, other filesystems will need minor

f84e29a06c This patch removes the VOP_BWRITE() vector.
VOP_BWRITE() was a hack which made it possible for NFS client
side to use struct buf with non-bio backing.

This patch takes a more general approach and adds a bp->b_op
vector where more methods can be added.

The success of this patch depends on bp->b_op being initialized
all relevant places for some value of "relevant" which is not
easy to determine.  For now the buffers have grown a b_magic
element which will make such issues a tiny bit easier to debug.

bcc740c453 Do not cluster with B_LOCKED buffers.
This is an odd one.  This patch appears to fix a panic related to background
bitmap writes (for FFS), though neither Kirk, Ian, or I can figure out how
B_CLUSTEROK could possibly be set on a bitmap block to cause the clustering
code to improperly cluster with a buffer undergoing a background write.

In anycase, the clustering code is very fragile and this patch helps with
that, as well as possibly fixing a bug Andre was having.

2b6b0df712 This implements a better launder limiting solution. There was a solution
in 4.2-REL which I ripped out in -stable and -current when implementing the
low-memory handling solution.  However, maxlaunder turns out to be the saving
grace in certain very heavily loaded systems (e.g. newsreader box).  The new
algorithm limits the number of pages laundered in the first pageout daemon
pass.  If that is not sufficient then suceessive will be run without any
limit.

Write I/O is now pipelined using two sysctls, vfs.lorunningspace and
vfs.hirunningspace.  This prevents excessive buffered writes in the
disk queues which cause long (multi-second) delays for reads.  It leads
to more stable (less jerky) and generally faster I/O streaming to disk
by allowing required read ops (e.g. for indirect blocks and such) to occur
without interrupting the write stream, amoung other things.

NOTE: eventually, filesystem write I/O pipelining needs to be done on a
per-device basis.  At the moment it is globalized.

936524aa02 Implement a low-memory deadlock solution.
Removed most of the hacks that were trying to deal with low-memory
    situations prior to now.

    The new code is based on the concept that I/O must be able to function in
    a low memory situation.  All major modules related to I/O (except
    networking) have been adjusted to allow allocation out of the system
    reserve memory pool.  These modules now detect a low memory situation but
    rather then block they instead continue to operate, then return resources
    to the memory pool instead of cache them or leave them wired.

    Code has been added to stall in a low-memory situation prior to a vnode
    being locked.

    Thus situations where a process blocks in a low-memory condition while
    holding a locked vnode have been reduced to near nothing.  Not only will
    I/O continue to operate, but many prior deadlock conditions simply no
    longer exist.

Implement a number of VFS/BIO fixes

	(found by Ian): in biodone(), bogus-page replacement code, the loop
        was not properly incrementing loop variables prior to a continue
        statement.  We do not believe this code can be hit anyway but we
        aren't taking any chances.  We'll turn the whole section into a
        panic (as it already is in brelse()) after the release is rolled.

	In biodone(), the foff calculation was incorrectly
        clamped to the iosize, causing the wrong foff to be calculated
        for pages in the case of an I/O error or biodone() called without
        initiating I/O.  The problem always caused a panic before.  Now it
        doesn't.  The problem is mainly an issue with NFS.

	Fixed casts for ~PAGE_MASK.  This code worked properly before only
        because the calculations use signed arithmatic.  Better to properly
        extend PAGE_MASK first before inverting it for the 64 bit masking
        op.

	In brelse(), the bogus_page fixup code was improperly throwing
        away the original contents of 'm' when it did the j-loop to
        fix the bogus pages.  The result was that it would potentially
        invalidate parts of the *WRONG* page(!), leading to corruption.

	There may still be cases where a background bitmap write is
        being duplicated, causing potential corruption.  We have identified
        a potentially serious bug related to this but the fix is still TBD.
        So instead this patch contains a KASSERT to detect the problem
  	and panic the machine rather then continue to corrupt the filesystem.
	The problem does not occur very often..  it is very hard to
	reproduce, and it may or may not be the cause of the corruption
	people have reported.

e4649cfac3 Change the write-behind code to take more care when starting
async I/O's.  The sequential read heuristic has been extended to
    cover writes as well.  We continue to call cluster_write() normally,
    thus blocks in the file will still be reallocated for large (but still
    random) I/O's, but I/O will only be initiated for truely sequential
    writes.

    This solves a number of annoying situations, especially with DBM (hash
    method) writes, and also has the side effect of fixing a number of
    (stupid) benchmarks.

21144e3bf1 Remove B_READ, B_WRITE and B_FREEBUF and replace them with a new
field in struct buf: b_iocmd.  The b_iocmd is enforced to have
exactly one bit set.

B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding
mistakes.

Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.

Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue.  It is likely to write on your disk
where it should have been reading.

This change is a step in the direction towards a stackable BIO capability.

ad8ac923fa These changes appear to give us benefits with both small (32MB) and
large (1G) memory machine configurations.  I was able to run 'dbench 32'
on a 32MB system without bring the machine to a grinding halt.

    * buffer cache hash table now dynamically allocated.  This will
      have no effect on memory consumption for smaller systems and
      will help scale the buffer cache for larger systems.

    * minor enhancement to pmap_clearbit().  I noticed that
      all the calls to it used constant arguments.  Making
      it an inline allows the constants to propogate to
      deeper inlines and should produce better code.

    * removal of inherent vfs_ioopt support through the emplacement
      of appropriate #ifdef's, with John's permission.  If we do not
      find a use for it by the end of the year we will remove it entirely.

    * removal of getnewbufloops* counters & sysctl's - no longer
      necessary for debugging, getnewbuf() is now optimal.

    * buffer hash table functions removed from sys/buf.h and localized
      to vfs_bio.c

    * VFS_BIO_NEED_DIRTYFLUSH flag and support code added
      ( bwillwrite() ), allowing processes to block when too many dirty
      buffers are present in the system.

    * removal of a softdep test in bdwrite() that is no longer necessary
      now that bdwrite() no longer attempts to flush dirty buffers.

    * slight optimization added to bqrelse() - there is no reason
      to test for available buffer space on B_DELWRI buffers.

    * addition of reverse-scanning code to vfs_bio_awrite().
      vfs_bio_awrite() will attempt to locate clusterable areas
      in both the forward and reverse direction relative to the
      offset of the buffer passed to it.  This will probably not
      make much of a difference now, but I believe we will start
      to rely on it heavily in the future if we decide to shift
      some of the burden of the clustering closer to the actual
      I/O initiation.

    * Removal of the newbufcnt and lastnewbuf counters that Kirk
      added.  They do not fix any race conditions that haven't already
      been fixed by the gbincore() test done after the only call
      to getnewbuf().  getnewbuf() is a static, so there is no chance
      of it being misused by other modules.  ( Unless Kirk can think
      of a specific thing that this code fixes.  I went through it
      very carefully and didn't see anything ).

    * removal of VOP_ISLOCKED() check in flushbufqueues().  I do not
      think this check is necessary, the buffer should flush properly
      whether the vnode is locked or not. ( yes? ).

    * removal of extra arguments passed to getnewbuf() that are not
      necessary.

    * missed cluster_wbuild() that had to be a cluster_wbuild_wb() in
      vfs_cluster.c

    * vn_write() now calls bwillwrite() *PRIOR* to locking the vnode,
      which should greatly aid flushing operations in heavy load
      situations - both the pageout and update daemons will be able
      to operate more efficiently.

    * removal of b_usecount.  We may add it back in later but for now
      it is useless.  Prior implementations of the buffer cache never
      had enough buffers for it to be useful, and current implementations
      which make more buffers available might not benefit relative to
      the amount of sophistication required to implement a b_usecount.
      Straight LRU should work just as well, especially when most things
      are VMIO backed.  I expect that (even though John will not like
      this assumption) directories will become VMIO backed some point soon.

1c9ca5858f The vfs.write_behind sysctl and related code support has been added to
allow changes to the filesystem's write_behind behavior.  By the
default the filesystem aggressively issues write_behind's.  Three values
may be specified for vfs.write_behind.  0 disables write_behind, 1 results
in historical operation (agressive write_behind), and 2 is an experimental
backed-off write_behind.  The values of 0 and 1 are recommended.  The value
of 0 is recommended in conjuction with an increase in the number of
NBUF's and the number of dirty buffers allowed (vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers).
Note that a value of 0 will radically increase the dirty buffer load on
the system.  Future work on write_behind behavior will use values 2 and
greater for testing purposes.

ddebd8794d Hopefully fix the remaining glitches with the BUF_*() changes. This should
(really this time) fix pageout to swap and a couple of clustering cases.

This simplifies BUF_KERNPROC() so that it unconditionally reassigns the
lock owner rather than testing B_ASYNC and having the caller decide when
to do the reassign.  At present this is required because some places use
B_CALL/b_iodone to free the buffers without B_ASYNC being set.  Also,
vfs_cluster.c explicitly calls BUF_KERNPROC() when attaching the buffers
rather than the parent walking the cluster_head tailq.

instead for buffers to become available is okay.

4221e284a3 The VFS/BIO subsystem contained a number of hacks in order to optimize
piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS.  These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap().  I've removed
them.  Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write.  NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files.  For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference.  The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations.  NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write.  There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.

The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =
VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault.  This
is not correct operation.  The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now
responsible for marking VM pages all-valid.  A number of VM helper
routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid.  This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap().  The zeroing occurs most often
when dealing with file-EOF situations.  Several bugs have been fixed
in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF
situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing
B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE.

getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten.  B_CACHE operation is now
formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation.  B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store.  B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa).  biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes.  B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated.  VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE.  This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.

There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount.  These have been fixed.  getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.

Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made.  A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain.  The server's kernel must be
recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes.

This change implements a relatively sophisticated fix to getnewbuf().
There were two problems with getnewbuf(). First, the writerecursion
can lead to a system stack overflow when you have NFS and/or VN
devices in the system. Second, the free/dirty buffer accounting was
completely broken. Not only did the nfs routines blow it trying to
manually account for the buffer state, but the accounting that was
done did not work well with the purpose of their existance: figuring
out when getnewbuf() needs to sleep.

The meat of the change is to kern/vfs_bio.c. The remaining diffs are
all minor except for NFS, which includes both the fixes for bp
interaction AND fixes for a 'biodone(): buffer already done' lockup.
Sys/buf.h also contains a chaining structure which is not used by
this patchset but is used by other patches that are coming soon.
This patch deliniated by tags PRE_MAT_GETBUF and POST_MAT_GETBUF.

1c7c3c6a86 This is a rather large commit that encompasses the new swapper,
changes to the VM system to support the new swapper, VM bug
    fixes, several VM optimizations, and some additional revamping of the
    VM code.  The specific bug fixes will be documented with additional
    forced commits.  This commit is somewhat rough in regards to code
    cleanup issues.

fcdfed00d5 Even the most recently allocated buffer may not have its b_blkno
field properly filled in, so we must do a VOP_BMAP on that buffer
as well if it is not resolved.
