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
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
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.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)
If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!
Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.

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).
an ext2fs file system is mounted. The soft update changes added
a check for B_DELWRI buffers. This exposed the complete brokenness
of the previous quick fix for failing syncs (PR 3571, committed on
1997/08/04). Use a new buffer flag B_DIRTY and don't abuse B_DELWRI.
B_DIRTY buffers are still written too late, as broken in the previous
fix. This is fairly harmless, because B_DIRTY is only used for
bitmap buffers and fsck.ext2 can fix up the bitmaps perfectly.
Fixed a race in ULCK_BUF() (bremfree() was outside of the splbio()
section).
syncs weren't optimized properly (they probably still aren't, but are bug
for bug compatible with ffs). These fixes are mostly academic, since
ext2fs is too broken to mount read-write (it apparently doesn't clear
indirect blocks).
Obtained from: mostly from Lite2
Fixes for bugs not shared with ffs:
- don't mount unclean filesystems rw unless forced to.
- accept EXT2_ERROR_FS (treat it like !EXT2_VALID_FS). We still don't set
this or honour the maximal mount count.
- don't attempt to print the name of the mount point when mounting an
unclean file system, since the name of the previous mount point is
unknown and the name of the current mount point is still "".
Fixes for bugs shared with ffs until recently:
- don't set the clean flag on unmount of an initially-unclean filesystem
that was (forcibly) mounted rw.
- set the clean flag on rw -> ro update of a mounted initially-clean
filesystem.
- fixed some style bugs (mostly long lines).
The fixes are slightly simpler than for ffs, because the relevant on-disk
state is not a simple boolean variable, and the superblock has a core-only
extension.

surprisingly few problems. Most fields were initialized to the
correct values by bzero(), but lk_prio was 0 instead of PINOD (=8),

The change a couple of days ago to ignore these numbers in statically
configured vfsconf structs was slightly premature because the cd9660,
cfs, devfs, ext2fs, nfs vfs's still used MOUNT_* instead of the number
in their vfsconf struct.
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.

Reverse the VFS_VRELE patch. Reference counting of vnodes does not need

Doing reference counting in generic code is also the preference cited by

The implementation of alternative vnode management per-fs is still a valid
requirement for some filesystems but will be revisited sometime later,

to all layers. vput will be replaced by unlock in these cases. Unlocking

Ever since I first say the way the mount flags were used I've hated the
fact that modes, and events, internal and exported, and short-term

This patch to the entire FreeBSD tree adds a second mount flag word
to the mount struct. it is not exported to userspace. I have moved
some of the non exported flags over to this word. this means that we now
have 8 free bits in the mount flags. There are another two that might
well move over, but which I'm not sure about.
The only user visible change would have been in pstat -v, except
that davidg has disabled it anyhow.

Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.
swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.
machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.
machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.
ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.

timestamps for an atomic operation such as rename() on a local file
system to be identical.
Uniformize yet another idempotency ifdef. The comment nesting was
bogus.
