It is used on each new entry addition to decide whether to whack an existing
negative entry in order to prevent a blow out in size, but the parameter was
set years ago and never revisited.
Building with poudriere results in about 400 evictions per second which
unnecessarily grab entries from the hot list.
With the new parameter there are next to no evictions of the sort.
Lookups of the sort are rare compared to regular ones and succesfull ones
result in removing entries from the cache.
In the current code buckets are rlocked and a trylock dance is performed,
which can fail and cause a restart. Fixing it will require a little bit
of surgery and in order to keep the code maintaineable the 2 cases have
to split.

namecache_ts differs from mere namecache by few fields placed mid struct.
The access to the last element (the name) is thus special-cased.
The standard solution is to put new fields at the very beginning anad
embedd the original struct. The pointer shuffled around points to the
embedded part. If needed, access to new fields can be gained through
__containerof.

All hash sizes are power-of-2, but the compiler does not know that for sure
and 'foo % size' forces doing a division.
Store the size - 1 and use 'foo & hash' instead which allows mere shift.
The size can be changed by side effect of modifying kern.maxvnodes.
Since numbucketlocks was not modified, setting a sufficiently low value
would give more locks than actual buckets, which would then lead to
corruption.
Force the number of buckets to be not smaller.
Note this should not matter for real world cases.

The negative list shrinker can demote an entry with only hotlist + neglist
locks held. On the other hand entry removal possibly sets the NCF_DVDROP
without aformentioned locks held prior to detaching it from the respective
netlist., which can lose the update made by the shrinker.

This splits the ncneg_mtx lock while preserving the hit ratio at least
during buildworld.
Create N dedicated lists for new negative entries.
Entries with at least one hit get promoted to the hot list, where they
get requeued every M hits.
Shrinking demotes one hot entry and performs a round-robin shrinking of

Other uses of cache_purgevfs() do rely on the cache purge for correct
operations, when paths are invalidated without unmount.

purgevfs is purely optional and induces lock contention in workloads
which frequently mount and unmount filesystems.
In particular, poudriere will do this for filesystems with 4 vnodes or
less. Full cache scan is clearly wasteful.
Since there is no explicit counter for namecache entries, the number of
vnodes used by the target fs is checked.
The default limit is the number of bucket locks.

Add a table of vnode locks and use them along with bucketlocks to provide
concurrent modification support. The approach taken is to preserve the
current behaviour of the namecache and just lock all relevant parts before
any changes are made.
Lookups still require the relevant bucket to be locked.
Discussed with: kib
Tested by: pho
An array of bucket locks is added.
All modifications still require the global cache_lock to be held for
writing. However, most readers only need the relevant bucket lock and in
effect can run concurrently to the writer as long as they use a
different lock. See the added comment for more details.
This is an intermediate step towards removal of the global lock.

Since negative entries are managed with a LRU list, a hit requires a
modificaton.
Currently the code tries to upgrade the global lock if needed and is
forced to retry the lookup if it fails.
Provide a dedicated lock for use when the cache is only shared-locked.

the virtvnodes calculation. Include the size of fs-specific v_data as
the nfs nclnode inline, the NFS nclnode is bigger than either ZFS
znode or UFS inode. Include the size of namecache_ts and short cache
path element, multiplied by the name cache population factor, again
inline.
Inline defines are used to avoid pollution of the vnode.h with the
subsystem-private objects. Non-significant unsynchronized changes of
the definitions are fine, we do not care about that precision, and
e.g. ZFS consumes much malloced memory per vnode for reasons
unaccounted in the formula.
Lower the partition of kmem dedicated to vnodes, from 1/7 to 1/10.
The measures reduce vnode cache pressure on kmem and bring the vnode
cache memory use below some apparent thresholds that were exceeded by
r291244 due to more robust vnode reuse.

No functional changes.
No objections: kib
Previously the code would just increment statistics while only holding a
shared lock, in effect losing updates.
Separate tracking for nchstats is removed as values can be obtained from
existing counters. Note that some fields are updated by external
consumers and are left unfixed. This should not be a serious issue as
this structure looks quite obsolete.
No strong objections: kib
- Use SDT_PROBE<N>() instead of SDT_PROBE(). This has no functional effect
at the moment, but will be needed for some future changes.
- Don't hardcode the module component of the probe identifier. This is

- Wrong integer type was specified.
- Wrong or missing "access" specifier. The "access" specifier
sometimes included the SYSCTL type, which it should not, except for
procedural SYSCTL nodes.
- Logical OR where binary OR was expected.
- Properly assert the "access" argument passed to all SYSCTL macros,
using the CTASSERT macro. This applies to both static- and dynamically
created SYSCTLs.
- Properly assert the the data type for both static and dynamic
SYSCTLs. In the case of static SYSCTLs we only assert that the data
pointed to by the SYSCTL data pointer has the correct size, hence
there is no easy way to assert types in the C language outside a
C-function.
- Rewrote some code which doesn't pass a constant "access" specifier
when creating dynamic SYSCTL nodes, which is now a requirement.
- Updated "EXAMPLES" section in SYSCTL manual page.

Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the

including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while. Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].
