Once it is unlocked, other operations may slip in that could make

the sleep is so short, the PCATCH is not required here, so it has

whether it is still reasonable to stop a process in tsleep, as that
may affect any other code that uses PCATCH while holding kernel locks.

A compiled-in or preloaded MFS filesystem will become the root

to a valid bootable device. This will normally only be the case when
the kernel and MFS image have been loaded from a disk which has a
valid /etc/fstab file. In this case, the variable should be manually
overridden in the loader, or the kernel booted with -a. In either

-----------------------------
The core of the signalling code has been rewritten to operate
on the new sigset_t. No methodological changes have been made.
Most references to a sigset_t object are through macros (see
signalvar.h) to create a level of abstraction and to provide
a basis for further improvements.
The NSIG constant has not been changed to reflect the maximum
number of signals possible. The reason is that it breaks
programs (especially shells) which assume that all signals
have a non-null name in sys_signame. See src/bin/sh/trap.c
for an example. Instead _SIG_MAXSIG has been introduced to
hold the maximum signal possible with the new sigset_t.
struct sigprop has been moved from signalvar.h to kern_sig.c
because a) it is only used there, and b) access must be done
though function sigprop(). The latter because the table doesn't
holds properties for all signals, but only for the first NSIG
signals.
signal.h has been reorganized to make reading easier and to
add the new and/or modified structures. The "old" structures
are moved to signalvar.h to prevent namespace polution.
Especially the coda filesystem suffers from the change, because
it contained lines like (p->p_sigmask == SIGIO), which is easy
to do for integral types, but not for compound types.
NOTE: kdump (and port linux_kdump) must be recompiled.
Thanks to Garrett Wollman and Daniel Eischen for pressing the
importance of changing sigreturn as well.

0 = seconds only; nanoseconds zeroed (default).
1 = seconds and nanoseconds, accurate within 1/HZ.
2 = seconds and nanoseconds, truncated to microseconds.
>=3 = seconds and nanoseconds, maximum precision.
Level 1 uses getnanotime(), which is fast but can be wrong by up
to 1/HZ. Level 2 uses microtime(). It might be desirable for
consistency with utimes() and friends, which take timeval structures
rather than timespecs. Level 3 uses nanotime() for the higest
precision.
I benchmarked levels 0, 1, and 3 by copying a 550 MB tree with
"cpio -pdu". There was almost negligible difference in the system

multiple runs at the same level. Bruce Evans dreamed up a torture
test involving 1-byte reads with intervening fstat() calls, but
the cpio test seems more realistic to me.

vfs_bio_awrite() will attempt to locate clusterable areas

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

Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.
Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.
In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.
In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).
A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.
Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.
Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.
Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which

other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).
Made a new (inline) function devsw(dev_t dev) and substituted it.
Changed to the BDEV variant to this format as well: bdevsw(dev_t dev)
DEVFS will eventually benefit from this change too.
Virtualize bdevsw[] from cdevsw. bdevsw() is now an (inline)

files at once on a filesystem running soft updates. The root of
the problem is that soft updates limits the amount of memory that
may be allocated to dependency structures so as to avoid hogging
kernel memory. The original algorithm just waited for the disk I/O
to catch up and reduce the number of dependencies. This new code
takes a much more aggressive approach. Basically there are two
resources that routinely hit the limit. Inode dependencies during
periods with a high file creation rate and file and block removal
dependencies during periods with a high file removal rate. I have
attacked these problems from two fronts. When the inode dependency
limits are reached, I pick a random inode dependency, UFS_UPDATE
it together with all the other dirty inodes contained within its
disk block and then write that disk block. This trick usually
clears 5-50 inode dependencies in a single disk I/O. For block and
file removal dependencies, I pick a random directory page that has
at least one remove pending and VOP_FSYNC its directory. That
releases all its removal dependencies to the work queue. To further
hasten things along, I also immediately start the work queue process
rather than waiting for its next one second scheduled run.
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 is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process

additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.

to write all the dirty blocks. If some of those blocks have dependencies,
they will be remarked dirty when the I/O completes. On systems with
really fast I/O systems, it is possible to get in an infinite loop trying
to flush the buffers, because the I/O finishes before we can get all the
dirty buffers off the v_dirtyblkhd list and into the I/O queue. (The
previous algorithm looped over the v_dirtyblkhd list writing out buffers
until the list emptied.) So, now we mark each buffer that we try to
write so that we can distinguish the ones that are being remarked dirty
from those that we have not yet tried to flush. Once we have tried to
push every buffer once, we then push any associated metadata that is
causing the remaining buffers to be redirtied.

Note that allowing write access to a partition other than the one that
has been checked for write access doesn't increase security holes
significantly, since write access to any partition already allows
changing the in-core label.

but when i_effnlink was added to support soft updates, there was only
room for 4 spares. The number of spares was not reduced, so the inode
size became 260 (on i386's), or 512 after rounding up by malloc().
Use one spare field in `struct dinode' instead of the 5th spare field
in the inode and reduced to 4 spares in the inode so that the size is
256 again.
Changed the types of the spares in the inode from int to u_int32_t
so that the inode size has more chance of being <= 256 under other
arches, and downdated ext2fs to match (it was broken to use ints
before rev.1.1).
As a side effect, a few wakeup() calls are added, which might fix some of the
missing vm_page wakeups people have been seeing.

The problem is caused when a directory block is compacted. When this
occurs, softdep_change_directoryentry_offset() is called to relocate each
directory entry and adjust its matching diradd structure, if any, to match
the new location of the entry. The bug is that while
softdep_change_directoryentry_offset() correctly adjusts the offsets of
the diradd structures on the pd_diraddhd[] lists (which are not yet ready
to be committed to disk), it fails to adjust the offsets of the diradd
structures on the pd_pendinghd list (which are ready to be committed to
disk). This causes the dependency structures to be inconsistent with
the buf contents. Now, if the compaction has moved a directory entry to
the same offset as one of the diradd structures on the pd_pendinghd list
*and* a syscall is done that tries to remove this directory entry before
this directory block has been written to disk (which would empty
pd_pendinghd), a sanity check in newdirrem() will call panic() when it
notices that the inode number in the entry that it is to be removed doesn't
match the inode number in the diradd structure with that offset of that
entry.

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.

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.)

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.

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
