These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks. A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com> Reviewed by: Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com>

Implement a new totally dynamic (up to MAXPHYS) buffer kva allocation scheme. Additionally, add the capability for checking for unexpected kernel page faults. The maximum amount of kva space for buffers hasn't been decreased from where it is, but it will now be possible to do so. This scheme manages the kva space similar to the buffers themselves. If there isn't enough kva space because of usage or fragementation, buffers will be reclaimed until a buffer allocation is successful. This scheme should be very resistant to fragmentation problems until/if the LFS code is fixed and uses the bogus buffer locking scheme -- but a 'fixed' LFS is not likely to use such a scheme. Now there should be NO problem allocating buffers up to MAXPHYS.

Changes to fix the following bugs: 1) Files weren't properly synced on filesystems other than UFS. In some cases, this lead to lost data. Most likely would be noticed on NFS. The fix is to make the VM page sync/object_clean general rather than in each filesystem. 2) Mixing regular and mmaped file I/O on NFS was very broken. It caused chunks of files to end up as zeroes rather than the intended contents. The fix was to fix several race conditions and to kludge up the "b_dirtyoff" and "b_dirtyend" that NFS relies upon - paying attention to page modifications that occurred via the mmapping.

static void vfs_vmio_release(struct buf *bp);
Several performance improvements for soft updates have been added: 1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode. 2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original available for futher allocations. 3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink need not be written. 4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing daemon can choose to skip over them.

Reviewed by: Many at differnt times in differnt parts, including alan, john, me, luoqi, and kirk Submitted by: Matt Dillon <dillon@frebsd.org> 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.

This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks. A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com> Reviewed by: Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com>

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code.

The buffer cache size calculations have been redone to simplify them (fewer defines, better comments, less chance of running out of KVA).

The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed.

The buffer cache size calculations have been redone to simplify them (fewer defines, better comments, less chance of running out of KVA). The geteblk() fix solves a performance problem that DG was able reproduce. This patch does not completely fix the KVA fragmentation problems, but it goes a long way Mostly Reviewed by: bde and others Approved by: jkh

Convert buffer locking from using the B_BUSY and B_WANTED flags to using lockmgr locks. This commit should be functionally equivalent to the old semantics. That is, all buffer locking is done with LK_EXCLUSIVE requests. Changes to take advantage of LK_SHARED and LK_RECURSIVE will be done in future commits.

Eliminated many redundant vm_map_lookup operations for vm_mmap. Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish overhead for merged cache. Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant calls to cluster_rbuild. Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials. Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6. Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files. Additionally, fixes in the various pagers. Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs. Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code will not as readily thrash. Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE), thereby improving efficiency of several routines. Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations. Significantly speed up process forks. Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause that happens every 30seconds. Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the case of filesystems mounted async. Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO buffers.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

Reviewed by: Many at differnt times in differnt parts, including alan, john, me, luoqi, and kirk Submitted by: Matt Dillon <dillon@frebsd.org> 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.

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.

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks. A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com> Reviewed by: Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com>

Several performance improvements for soft updates have been added: 1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode. 2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original available for futher allocations. 3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink need not be written. 4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing daemon can choose to skip over them.

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.

1) Fix a bug that a buffer is removed from a queue, but the queue type is not set to QUEUE_NONE. This appears to have caused a hang bug that has been lurking. 2) Fix bugs that brelse'ing locked buffers do not "free" them, but the code assumes so. This can cause hangs when LFS is used. 3) Use malloced memory for directories when applicable. The amount of malloced memory is seriously limited, but should decrease the amount of memory used by an average directory to 1/4 - 1/2 previous. This capability is fully tunable. (Note that there is no config parameter, and might never be.) 4) Bias slightly the buffer cache usage towards non-VMIO buffers. Since the data in VMIO buffers is not lost when the buffer is reclaimed, this will help performance. This is adjustable also.

The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

( 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.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

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.

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.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code.

That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur.

This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system.

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.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code.

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.

KASSERT(!(bp->b_flags & B_ASYNC), ("bread: illegal async bp %p", bp));
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. A lot of this patch were machine generated (Thanks to style(9) compliance!)

* read-ahead blocks. We must clear BIO_ERROR and B_INVAL prior
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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

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.

/*
* Write, release buffer on completion. (Done by iodone
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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Several performance improvements for soft updates have been added: 1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode. 2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original available for futher allocations. 3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink need not be written. 4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing daemon can choose to skip over them.

Reviewed by: Many at differnt times in differnt parts, including alan, john, me, luoqi, and kirk Submitted by: Matt Dillon <dillon@frebsd.org> 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.

Several performance improvements for soft updates have been added: 1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode. 2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original available for futher allocations. 3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink need not be written. 4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing daemon can choose to skip over them.

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.

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code.

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. Reviewed by: Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com>

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.

Reviewed by: Many at differnt times in differnt parts, including alan, john, me, luoqi, and kirk Submitted by: Matt Dillon <dillon@frebsd.org> 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.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

Several performance improvements for soft updates have been added: 1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode. 2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original available for futher allocations. 3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink need not be written. 4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing daemon can choose to skip over them.

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.

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Changes to fix the following bugs: 1) Files weren't properly synced on filesystems other than UFS. In some cases, this lead to lost data. Most likely would be noticed on NFS. The fix is to make the VM page sync/object_clean general rather than in each filesystem. 2) Mixing regular and mmaped file I/O on NFS was very broken. It caused chunks of files to end up as zeroes rather than the intended contents. The fix was to fix several race conditions and to kludge up the "b_dirtyoff" and "b_dirtyend" that NFS relies upon - paying attention to page modifications that occurred via the mmapping.

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Changes to fix the following bugs: 1) Files weren't properly synced on filesystems other than UFS. In some cases, this lead to lost data. Most likely would be noticed on NFS. The fix is to make the VM page sync/object_clean general rather than in each filesystem. 2) Mixing regular and mmaped file I/O on NFS was very broken. It caused chunks of files to end up as zeroes rather than the intended contents. The fix was to fix several race conditions and to kludge up the "b_dirtyoff" and "b_dirtyend" that NFS relies upon - paying attention to page modifications that occurred via the mmapping.

init_main.c subr_autoconf.c: Add support for "interrupt driven configuration hooks". A component of the kernel can register a hook, most likely during auto-configuration, and receive a callback once interrupt services are available. This callback will occur before the root and dump devices are configured, so the configuration task can affect the selection of those two devices or complete any tasks that need to be performed prior to launching init. System boot is posponed so long as a hook is registered. The hook owner is responsible for removing the hook once their task is complete or the system boot can continue. kern_acct.c kern_clock.c kern_exit.c kern_synch.c kern_time.c: Change the interface and implementation for the kernel callout service. The new implemntaion is based on the work of Adam M. Costello and George Varghese, published in a technical report entitled "Redesigning the BSD Callout and Timer Facilities". The interface used in FreeBSD is a little different than the one outlined in the paper. The new function prototypes are: struct callout_handle timeout(void (*func)(void *), void *arg, int ticks); void untimeout(void (*func)(void *), void *arg, struct callout_handle handle); If a client wishes to remove a timeout, it must store the callout_handle returned by timeout and pass it to untimeout. The new implementation gives 0(1) insert and removal of callouts making this interface scale well even for applications that keep 100s of callouts outstanding. See the updated timeout.9 man page for more details.

Changes from John Dyson and myself: Fixed remaining known bugs in the buffer IO and VM system. vfs_bio.c: Fixed some race conditions and locking bugs. Improved performance by removing some (now) unnecessary code and fixing some broken logic. Fixed process accounting of # of FS outputs. Properly handle NFS interrupts (B_EINTR). (various) Replaced calls to clrbuf() with calls to an optimized routine call vfs_bio_clrbuf(). (various FS sync) Sync out modified vnode_pager backed pages. ffs_vnops.c: Do two passes: Sync out file data first, then indirect blocks. vm_fault.c: Fixed deadly embrace caused by acquiring locks in the wrong order. vnode_pager.c: Changed to use buffer I/O system for writing out modified pages. This should fix the problem with the modification date previous not getting updated. Also dramatically simplifies the code. Note that this is going to change in the future and be implemented via VOP_PUTPAGES(). vm_object.c: Fixed a pile of bugs related to cleaning (vnode) objects. The performance of vm_object_page_clean() is terrible when dealing with huge objects, but this will change when we implement a binary tree to keep the object pages sorted. vm_pageout.c: Fixed broken clustering of pageouts. Fixed race conditions and other lockup style bugs in the scanning of pages. Improved performance.

Eliminated many redundant vm_map_lookup operations for vm_mmap. Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish overhead for merged cache. Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant calls to cluster_rbuild. Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials. Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6. Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files. Additionally, fixes in the various pagers. Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs. Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code will not as readily thrash. Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE), thereby improving efficiency of several routines. Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations. Significantly speed up process forks. Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause that happens every 30seconds. Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the case of filesystems mounted async. Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO buffers.

bqrelse(bp);
Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves.

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.

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

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. A lot of this patch were machine generated (Thanks to style(9) compliance!) Vinum users: Greg has not had time to test this yet, be careful.

Several performance improvements for soft updates have been added: 1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode. 2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original available for futher allocations. 3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink need not be written. 4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing daemon can choose to skip over them.

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

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.

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.

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. A lot of this patch were machine generated (Thanks to style(9) compliance!)

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

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.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

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.

This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There 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.

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.

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.

* VMIO buffer rundown. It is not very necessary to keep a VMIO buffer
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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Several performance improvements for soft updates have been added: 1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode. 2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original available for futher allocations. 3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink need not be written. 4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing daemon can choose to skip over them.

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.

This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There 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.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

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.

Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11 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.

This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There 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.

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.

This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There 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.

Two critical bugfixes: 1) "obj" was't initialized properly, resulting in an important vm_page_lookup always failing (resulting in a panic). 2) busy pages could be put on the cache queue or freed (resulting in a panic).

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.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

Fixed two potentially serious classes of bugs: 1) The vnode pager wasn't properly tracking the file size due to "size" being page rounded in some cases and not in others. This sometimes resulted in corrupted files. First noticed by Terry Lambert. Fixed by changing the "size" pager_alloc parameter to be a 64bit byte value (as opposed to a 32bit page index) and changing the pagers and their callers to deal with this properly. 2) Fixed a bogus type cast in round_page() and trunc_page() that caused some 64bit offsets and sizes to be scrambled. Removing the cast required adding casts at a few dozen callers. There may be problems with other bogus casts in close-by macros. A quick check seemed to indicate that those were okay, however.

Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11 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 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.

It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

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.

This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There 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.

Eliminated many redundant vm_map_lookup operations for vm_mmap. Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish overhead for merged cache. Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant calls to cluster_rbuild. Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials. Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6. Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files. Additionally, fixes in the various pagers. Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs. Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code will not as readily thrash. Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE), thereby improving efficiency of several routines. Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations. Significantly speed up process forks. Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause that happens every 30seconds. Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the case of filesystems mounted async. Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO buffers.

Reviewed by: Many at differnt times in differnt parts, including alan, john, me, luoqi, and kirk Submitted by: Matt Dillon <dillon@frebsd.org> 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.

Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

Several performance improvements for soft updates have been added: 1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode. 2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original available for futher allocations. 3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink need not be written. 4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing daemon can choose to skip over them.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks.

Reviewed by: Many at differnt times in differnt parts, including alan, john, me, luoqi, and kirk Submitted by: Matt Dillon <dillon@frebsd.org> 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.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks. A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com> Reviewed by: Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com>

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.

Commit the buffer cache cleanup patch to 4.x and 5.x. This patch fixes a fragmentation problem due to geteblk() reserving too much space for the buffer and imposes a larger granularity (16K) on KVA reservations for the buffer cache to avoid fragmentation issues. The buffer cache size calculations have been redone to simplify them (fewer defines, better comments, less chance of running out of KVA). The geteblk() fix solves a performance problem that DG was able reproduce. This patch does not completely fix the KVA fragmentation problems, but it goes a long way Mostly Reviewed by: bde and others Approved by: jkh

Add snapshots to the fast filesystem. Most of the changes support the gating of system calls that cause modifications to the underlying filesystem. The gating can be enabled by any filesystem that needs to consistently suspend operations by adding the vop_stdgetwritemount to their set of vnops. Once gating is enabled, the function vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a filesystem, allows any filesystem modifying system calls already in progress to complete, then sync's the filesystem to disk and returns. The function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to begin again. Gating is not added by default for all filesystems as for SMP systems it adds two extra locks to such critical kernel paths as the write system call. Thus, gating should only be added as needed. Details on the use and current status of snapshots in FFS can be found in /sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot so for brevity and timelyness is not included here. Unless and until you create a snapshot file, these changes should have no effect on your system (famous last words).

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

* Release a buffer back to the appropriate queue but do not try to free
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.

* it. The buffer is expected to be used again soon.
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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

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.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

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.

Add snapshots to the fast filesystem. Most of the changes support the gating of system calls that cause modifications to the underlying filesystem. The gating can be enabled by any filesystem that needs to consistently suspend operations by adding the vop_stdgetwritemount to their set of vnops. Once gating is enabled, the function vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a filesystem, allows any filesystem modifying system calls already in progress to complete, then sync's the filesystem to disk and returns. The function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to begin again. Gating is not added by default for all filesystems as for SMP systems it adds two extra locks to such critical kernel paths as the write system call. Thus, gating should only be added as needed. Details on the use and current status of snapshots in FFS can be found in /sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot so for brevity and timelyness is not included here. Unless and until you create a snapshot file, these changes should have no effect on your system (famous last words).

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.

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.

Implement a new totally dynamic (up to MAXPHYS) buffer kva allocation scheme. Additionally, add the capability for checking for unexpected kernel page faults. The maximum amount of kva space for buffers hasn't been decreased from where it is, but it will now be possible to do so. This scheme manages the kva space similar to the buffers themselves. If there isn't enough kva space because of usage or fragementation, buffers will be reclaimed until a buffer allocation is successful. This scheme should be very resistant to fragmentation problems until/if the LFS code is fixed and uses the bogus buffer locking scheme -- but a 'fixed' LFS is not likely to use such a scheme. Now there should be NO problem allocating buffers up to MAXPHYS.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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.

Make our v_usecount vnode reference count work identically to the 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.

Make our v_usecount vnode reference count work identically to the 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.

* default (old) behavior, writing out only one block
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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

* getnewbuf:
*
* Find and initialize a new buffer header, freeing up existing buffers
When allocating new buffers in getnewbuf, there are several points at which we may sleep. So, after completing our buffer allocation we must ensure that another process has not come along and allocated a different buffer with the same identity. We do this by keeping a global counter of the number of buffers that getnewbuf has allocated. We save this count when we enter getnewbuf and check it when we are about to return. If it has changed, then other buffers were allocated while we were in getnewbuf, so we must return NULL to let our parent know that it must recheck to see if it still needs the new buffer. Hopefully this fix will eliminate the creation of duplicate buffers with the same identity and the obscure corruptions that they cause.

This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list.

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.

Changes from John Dyson and myself: Fixed remaining known bugs in the buffer IO and VM system. vfs_bio.c: Fixed some race conditions and locking bugs. Improved performance by removing some (now) unnecessary code and fixing some broken logic. Fixed process accounting of # of FS outputs. Properly handle NFS interrupts (B_EINTR). (various) Replaced calls to clrbuf() with calls to an optimized routine call vfs_bio_clrbuf(). (various FS sync) Sync out modified vnode_pager backed pages. ffs_vnops.c: Do two passes: Sync out file data first, then indirect blocks. vm_fault.c: Fixed deadly embrace caused by acquiring locks in the wrong order. vnode_pager.c: Changed to use buffer I/O system for writing out modified pages. This should fix the problem with the modification date previous not getting updated. Also dramatically simplifies the code. Note that this is going to change in the future and be implemented via VOP_PUTPAGES(). vm_object.c: Fixed a pile of bugs related to cleaning (vnode) objects. The performance of vm_object_page_clean() is terrible when dealing with huge objects, but this will change when we implement a binary tree to keep the object pages sorted. vm_pageout.c: Fixed broken clustering of pageouts. Fixed race conditions and other lockup style bugs in the scanning of pages. Improved performance.

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.

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.

Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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.

Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

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.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks. A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com> Reviewed by: Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com>

Make our v_usecount vnode reference count work identically to the 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.

This patch fixes a fragmentation problem due to geteblk() reserving too much space for the buffer and imposes a larger granularity (16K) on KVA reservations for the buffer cache to avoid fragmentation issues. The buffer cache size calculations have been redone to simplify them (fewer defines, better comments, less chance of running out of KVA). The geteblk() fix solves a performance problem that DG was able reproduce. This patch does not completely fix the KVA fragmentation problems, but it goes a long way Mostly Reviewed by: bde and others Approved by: jkh

* Start freeing the bp. This is somewhat involved. nbp
The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

Several performance improvements for soft updates have been added: 1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode. 2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original available for futher allocations. 3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink need not be written. 4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing daemon can choose to skip over them.

Implement a new totally dynamic (up to MAXPHYS) buffer kva allocation scheme. Additionally, add the capability for checking for unexpected kernel page faults. The maximum amount of kva space for buffers hasn't been decreased from where it is, but it will now be possible to do so. This scheme manages the kva space similar to the buffers themselves. If there isn't enough kva space because of usage or fragementation, buffers will be reclaimed until a buffer allocation is successful. This scheme should be very resistant to fragmentation problems until/if the LFS code is fixed and uses the bogus buffer locking scheme -- but a 'fixed' LFS is not likely to use such a scheme. Now there should be NO problem allocating buffers up to MAXPHYS.

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.

Implement a new totally dynamic (up to MAXPHYS) buffer kva allocation scheme. Additionally, add the capability for checking for unexpected kernel page faults. The maximum amount of kva space for buffers hasn't been decreased from where it is, but it will now be possible to do so. This scheme manages the kva space similar to the buffers themselves. If there isn't enough kva space because of usage or fragementation, buffers will be reclaimed until a buffer allocation is successful. This scheme should be very resistant to fragmentation problems until/if the LFS code is fixed and uses the bogus buffer locking scheme -- but a 'fixed' LFS is not likely to use such a scheme. Now there should be NO problem allocating buffers up to MAXPHYS.

/*
The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks. A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com> Reviewed by: Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com>

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks. A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com> Reviewed by: Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com>

Fixed a serious bug in rev.1.202. getnewbuf() sometimes didn't initialise bp->b_data. This tended to cause panics for file systems whose block size is smaller than one page.

Fix a problem with the new buffer_map management code. Additionally, decrease the size of buffer_map to approx 2/3 of what it used to be (buffer_map can be smaller now.) The original commit of these changes increased the size of buffer_map to the point where the system would not boot on large systems -- now large systems with large caches will have even less problems than before.

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.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves.

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.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks. A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com> Reviewed by: Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com>

Several performance improvements for soft updates have been added: 1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode. 2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original available for futher allocations. 3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink need not be written. 4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing daemon can choose to skip over them.

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.

Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE), thereby improving efficiency of several routines. Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations. Significantly speed up process forks. Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause that happens every 30seconds.

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Changes to fix the following bugs: 1) Files weren't properly synced on filesystems other than UFS. In some cases, this lead to lost data. Most likely would be noticed on NFS. The fix is to make the VM page sync/object_clean general rather than in each filesystem. 2) Mixing regular and mmaped file I/O on NFS was very broken. It caused chunks of files to end up as zeroes rather than the intended contents. The fix was to fix several race conditions and to kludge up the "b_dirtyoff" and "b_dirtyend" that NFS relies upon - paying attention to page modifications that occurred via the mmapping.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

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.

Reviewed by: Many at differnt times in differnt parts, including alan, john, me, luoqi, and kirk Submitted by: Matt Dillon <dillon@frebsd.org> 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.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks.

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.

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.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

VM level code cleanups. 1) Start using TSM. Struct procs continue to point to upages structure, after being freed. Struct vmspace continues to point to pte object and kva space for kstack. u_map is now superfluous. 2) vm_map's don't need to be reference counted. They always exist either in the kernel or in a vmspace. The vmspaces are managed by reference counts. 3) Remove the "wired" vm_map nonsense. 4) No need to keep a cache of kernel stack kva's. 5) Get rid of strange looking ++var, and change to var++. 6) Change more data structures to use our "zone" allocator. Added struct proc, struct vmspace and struct vnode. This saves a significant amount of kva space and physical memory. Additionally, this enables TSM for the zone managed memory. 7) Keep ioopt disabled for now. 8) Remove the now bogus "single use" map concept. 9) Use generation counts or id's for data structures residing in TSM, where it allows us to avoid unneeded restart overhead during traversals, where blocking might occur. 10) Account better for memory deficits, so the pageout daemon will be able to make enough memory available (experimental.) 11) Fix some vnode locking problems. (From Tor, I think.) 12) Add a check in ufs_lookup, to avoid lots of unneeded calls to bcmp. (experimental.) 13) Significantly shrink, cleanup, and make slightly faster the vm_fault.c code. Use generation counts, get rid of unneded collpase operations, and clean up the cluster code. 14) Make vm_zone more suitable for TSM. This commit is partially as a result of discussions and contributions from other people, including DG, Tor Egge, PHK, and probably others that I have forgotten to attribute (so let me know, if I forgot.) This is not the infamous, final cleanup of the vnode stuff, but a necessary step. Vnode mgmt should be correct, but things might still change, and there is still some missing stuff (like ioopt, and physical backing of non-merged cache files, debugging of layering concepts.)

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.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks. A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com> Reviewed by: Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com>

These changes fix a bug in the clustering code that I made worse when adding support for EXT2FS. Note that the Sig-11 problems appear to be caused by this, but there is still probably an underlying VM problem that let this clustering bug cause vnode objects to appear to be corrupted. The direct manifestation of this bug would have been severely mis-read files. It is possible that processes would Sig-11 on very damaged input files and might explain the mysterious differences in system behaviour when phk's malloc is being used.

* If the size is inconsistant in the VMIO case, we can resize
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.

Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11 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.

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.

* This can be a problem whether the vnode is locked or not.
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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11 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.

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.

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.

Changes from John Dyson and myself: Fixed remaining known bugs in the buffer IO and VM system. vfs_bio.c: Fixed some race conditions and locking bugs. Improved performance by removing some (now) unnecessary code and fixing some broken logic. Fixed process accounting of # of FS outputs. Properly handle NFS interrupts (B_EINTR). (various) Replaced calls to clrbuf() with calls to an optimized routine call vfs_bio_clrbuf(). (various FS sync) Sync out modified vnode_pager backed pages. ffs_vnops.c: Do two passes: Sync out file data first, then indirect blocks. vm_fault.c: Fixed deadly embrace caused by acquiring locks in the wrong order. vnode_pager.c: Changed to use buffer I/O system for writing out modified pages. This should fix the problem with the modification date previous not getting updated. Also dramatically simplifies the code. Note that this is going to change in the future and be implemented via VOP_PUTPAGES(). vm_object.c: Fixed a pile of bugs related to cleaning (vnode) objects. The performance of vm_object_page_clean() is terrible when dealing with huge objects, but this will change when we implement a binary tree to keep the object pages sorted. vm_pageout.c: Fixed broken clustering of pageouts. Fixed race conditions and other lockup style bugs in the scanning of pages. Improved performance.

This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There 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.

1) Fix a bug that a buffer is removed from a queue, but the queue type is not set to QUEUE_NONE. This appears to have caused a hang bug that has been lurking. 2) Fix bugs that brelse'ing locked buffers do not "free" them, but the code assumes so. This can cause hangs when LFS is used. 3) Use malloced memory for directories when applicable. The amount of malloced memory is seriously limited, but should decrease the amount of memory used by an average directory to 1/4 - 1/2 previous. This capability is fully tunable. (Note that there is no config parameter, and might never be.) 4) Bias slightly the buffer cache usage towards non-VMIO buffers. Since the data in VMIO buffers is not lost when the buffer is reclaimed, this will help performance. This is adjustable also.

Commit the buffer cache cleanup patch to 4.x and 5.x. This patch fixes a fragmentation problem due to geteblk() reserving too much space for the buffer and imposes a larger granularity (16K) on KVA reservations for the buffer cache to avoid fragmentation issues. The buffer cache size calculations have been redone to simplify them (fewer defines, better comments, less chance of running out of KVA). The geteblk() fix solves a performance problem that DG was able reproduce.

Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

1) Fix a bug that a buffer is removed from a queue, but the queue type is not set to QUEUE_NONE. This appears to have caused a hang bug that has been lurking. 2) Fix bugs that brelse'ing locked buffers do not "free" them, but the code assumes so. This can cause hangs when LFS is used. 3) Use malloced memory for directories when applicable. The amount of malloced memory is seriously limited, but should decrease the amount of memory used by an average directory to 1/4 - 1/2 previous. This capability is fully tunable. (Note that there is no config parameter, and might never be.) 4) Bias slightly the buffer cache usage towards non-VMIO buffers. Since the data in VMIO buffers is not lost when the buffer is reclaimed, this will help performance. This is adjustable also.

Commit the buffer cache cleanup patch to 4.x and 5.x. This patch fixes a fragmentation problem due to geteblk() reserving too much space for the buffer and imposes a larger granularity (16K) on KVA reservations for the buffer cache to avoid fragmentation issues. The buffer cache size calculations have been redone to simplify them (fewer defines, better comments, less chance of running out of KVA). The geteblk() fix solves a performance problem that DG was able reproduce. This patch does not completely fix the KVA fragmentation problems, but it goes a long way Mostly Reviewed by: bde and others Approved by: jkh

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Eliminated many redundant vm_map_lookup operations for vm_mmap. Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish overhead for merged cache. Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant calls to cluster_rbuild. Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials. Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6. Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files. Additionally, fixes in the various pagers. Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs. Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code will not as readily thrash. Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE), thereby improving efficiency of several routines. Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations. Significantly speed up process forks. Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause that happens every 30seconds. Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the case of filesystems mounted async. Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO buffers.

Implement a new totally dynamic (up to MAXPHYS) buffer kva allocation scheme. Additionally, add the capability for checking for unexpected kernel page faults. The maximum amount of kva space for buffers hasn't been decreased from where it is, but it will now be possible to do so. This scheme manages the kva space similar to the buffers themselves. If there isn't enough kva space because of usage or fragementation, buffers will be reclaimed until a buffer allocation is successful. This scheme should be very resistant to fragmentation problems until/if the LFS code is fixed and uses the bogus buffer locking scheme -- but a 'fixed' LFS is not likely to use such a scheme. Now there should be NO problem allocating buffers up to MAXPHYS.

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.

Implement a new totally dynamic (up to MAXPHYS) buffer kva allocation scheme. Additionally, add the capability for checking for unexpected kernel page faults. The maximum amount of kva space for buffers hasn't been decreased from where it is, but it will now be possible to do so. This scheme manages the kva space similar to the buffers themselves. If there isn't enough kva space because of usage or fragementation, buffers will be reclaimed until a buffer allocation is successful. This scheme should be very resistant to fragmentation problems until/if the LFS code is fixed and uses the bogus buffer locking scheme -- but a 'fixed' LFS is not likely to use such a scheme. Now there should be NO problem allocating buffers up to MAXPHYS.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

* We only use malloced memory on the first allocation.
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.

1) Fix a bug that a buffer is removed from a queue, but the queue type is not set to QUEUE_NONE. This appears to have caused a hang bug that has been lurking. 2) Fix bugs that brelse'ing locked buffers do not "free" them, but the code assumes so. This can cause hangs when LFS is used. 3) Use malloced memory for directories when applicable. The amount of malloced memory is seriously limited, but should decrease the amount of memory used by an average directory to 1/4 - 1/2 previous. This capability is fully tunable. (Note that there is no config parameter, and might never be.) 4) Bias slightly the buffer cache usage towards non-VMIO buffers. Since the data in VMIO buffers is not lost when the buffer is reclaimed, this will help performance. This is adjustable also.

Even though this looks like it, this is not a complex code change. The interface into the "VMIO" system has changed to be more consistant and robust. Essentially, it is now no longer necessary to call vn_open to get merged VM/Buffer cache operation, and exceptional conditions such as merged operation of VBLK devices is simpler and more correct.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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.

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.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

Fixed two potentially serious classes of bugs: 1) The vnode pager wasn't properly tracking the file size due to "size" being page rounded in some cases and not in others. This sometimes resulted in corrupted files. First noticed by Terry Lambert. Fixed by changing the "size" pager_alloc parameter to be a 64bit byte value (as opposed to a 32bit page index) and changing the pagers and their callers to deal with this properly. 2) Fixed a bogus type cast in round_page() and trunc_page() that caused some 64bit offsets and sizes to be scrambled. Removing the cast required adding casts at a few dozen callers. There may be problems with other bogus casts in close-by macros. A quick check seemed to indicate that those were okay, however.

Eliminated many redundant vm_map_lookup operations for vm_mmap. Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish overhead for merged cache. Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant calls to cluster_rbuild. Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials. Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6. Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files. Additionally, fixes in the various pagers. Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs. Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code will not as readily thrash. Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE), thereby improving efficiency of several routines. Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations. Significantly speed up process forks. Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause that happens every 30seconds. Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the case of filesystems mounted async. Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO buffers.

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.

Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11 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.

This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There 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.

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.

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Eliminated many redundant vm_map_lookup operations for vm_mmap. Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish overhead for merged cache. Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant calls to cluster_rbuild. Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials. Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6. Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files. Additionally, fixes in the various pagers. Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs. Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code will not as readily thrash. Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE), thereby improving efficiency of several routines. Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations. Significantly speed up process forks. Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause that happens every 30seconds. Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the case of filesystems mounted async. Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO buffers.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks. A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com> Reviewed by: Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com>

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

Reviewed by: Many at differnt times in differnt parts, including alan, john, me, luoqi, and kirk Submitted by: Matt Dillon <dillon@frebsd.org> 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.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit. This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks.

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. A lot of this patch were machine generated (Thanks to style(9) compliance!)

Make our v_usecount vnode reference count work identically to the 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.

Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11 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.

This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block. The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the 8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future. reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions, such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously occured when write_behind was turned off in the system. The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks.

* bufdone:
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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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.

Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations. The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN, QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf() has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is, it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for the buffer cache). Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit.

Reviewed by: Many at differnt times in differnt parts, including alan, john, me, luoqi, and kirk Submitted by: Matt Dillon <dillon@frebsd.org> 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.

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.

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.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code.

Make our v_usecount vnode reference count work identically to the 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.

Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11 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.

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

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. A lot of this patch were machine generated (Thanks to style(9) compliance!)

int bogusflag = 0;
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.

Changes from John Dyson and myself: Fixed remaining known bugs in the buffer IO and VM system. vfs_bio.c: Fixed some race conditions and locking bugs. Improved performance by removing some (now) unnecessary code and fixing some broken logic. Fixed process accounting of # of FS outputs. Properly handle NFS interrupts (B_EINTR). (various) Replaced calls to clrbuf() with calls to an optimized routine call vfs_bio_clrbuf(). (various FS sync) Sync out modified vnode_pager backed pages. ffs_vnops.c: Do two passes: Sync out file data first, then indirect blocks. vm_fault.c: Fixed deadly embrace caused by acquiring locks in the wrong order. vnode_pager.c: Changed to use buffer I/O system for writing out modified pages. This should fix the problem with the modification date previous not getting updated. Also dramatically simplifies the code. Note that this is going to change in the future and be implemented via VOP_PUTPAGES(). vm_object.c: Fixed a pile of bugs related to cleaning (vnode) objects. The performance of vm_object_page_clean() is terrible when dealing with huge objects, but this will change when we implement a binary tree to keep the object pages sorted. vm_pageout.c: Fixed broken clustering of pageouts. Fixed race conditions and other lockup style bugs in the scanning of pages. Improved performance.

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.

if (m == NULL)
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.

bp->b_pages[i] = m;
Fixed two potentially serious classes of bugs: 1) The vnode pager wasn't properly tracking the file size due to "size" being page rounded in some cases and not in others. This sometimes resulted in corrupted files. First noticed by Terry Lambert. Fixed by changing the "size" pager_alloc parameter to be a 64bit byte value (as opposed to a 32bit page index) and changing the pagers and their callers to deal with this properly. 2) Fixed a bogus type cast in round_page() and trunc_page() that caused some 64bit offsets and sizes to be scrambled. Removing the cast required adding casts at a few dozen callers. There may be problems with other bogus casts in close-by macros. A quick check seemed to indicate that those were okay, however.

Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11 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.

Changes to fix the following bugs: 1) Files weren't properly synced on filesystems other than UFS. In some cases, this lead to lost data. Most likely would be noticed on NFS. The fix is to make the VM page sync/object_clean general rather than in each filesystem. 2) Mixing regular and mmaped file I/O on NFS was very broken. It caused chunks of files to end up as zeroes rather than the intended contents. The fix was to fix several race conditions and to kludge up the "b_dirtyoff" and "b_dirtyend" that NFS relies upon - paying attention to page modifications that occurred via the mmapping.

/*
* In the write case, the valid and clean bits are
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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

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. A lot of this patch were machine generated (Thanks to style(9) compliance!)

Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs. Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code will not as readily thrash. Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE), thereby improving efficiency of several routines. Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations. Significantly speed up process forks. Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause that happens every 30seconds. Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the case of filesystems mounted async. Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO buffers.

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.

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.

init_main.c subr_autoconf.c: Add support for "interrupt driven configuration hooks". A component of the kernel can register a hook, most likely during auto-configuration, and receive a callback once interrupt services are available. This callback will occur before the root and dump devices are configured, so the configuration task can affect the selection of those two devices or complete any tasks that need to be performed prior to launching init. System boot is posponed so long as a hook is registered. The hook owner is responsible for removing the hook once their task is complete or the system boot can continue. kern_acct.c kern_clock.c kern_exit.c kern_synch.c kern_time.c: Change the interface and implementation for the kernel callout service. The new implemntaion is based on the work of Adam M. Costello and George Varghese, published in a technical report entitled "Redesigning the BSD Callout and Timer Facilities". The interface used in FreeBSD is a little different than the one outlined in the paper. The new function prototypes are: struct callout_handle timeout(void (*func)(void *), void *arg, int ticks); void untimeout(void (*func)(void *), void *arg, struct callout_handle handle); If a client wishes to remove a timeout, it must store the callout_handle returned by timeout and pass it to untimeout. The new implementation gives 0(1) insert and removal of callouts making this interface scale well even for applications that keep 100s of callouts outstanding. See the updated timeout.9 man page for more details.

Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11 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.

Fixed two potentially serious classes of bugs: 1) The vnode pager wasn't properly tracking the file size due to "size" being page rounded in some cases and not in others. This sometimes resulted in corrupted files. First noticed by Terry Lambert. Fixed by changing the "size" pager_alloc parameter to be a 64bit byte value (as opposed to a 32bit page index) and changing the pagers and their callers to deal with this properly. 2) Fixed a bogus type cast in round_page() and trunc_page() that caused some 64bit offsets and sizes to be scrambled. Removing the cast required adding casts at a few dozen callers. There may be problems with other bogus casts in close-by macros. A quick check seemed to indicate that those were okay, however.

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.

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.

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.

Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11 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.

Changes to fix the following bugs: 1) Files weren't properly synced on filesystems other than UFS. In some cases, this lead to lost data. Most likely would be noticed on NFS. The fix is to make the VM page sync/object_clean general rather than in each filesystem. 2) Mixing regular and mmaped file I/O on NFS was very broken. It caused chunks of files to end up as zeroes rather than the intended contents.

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Fixed a major bug that caused various pmap related panics, hangs, and reboots. The i386 pmap module uses a special area of kernel virtual memory for mapping of page tables pages when it needs to modify another process's virtual address space. It's called the 'alternate page table map'. There is only one of them and it's expected that only one process will be using it at once and that the operation is atomic. When the merged VM/buffer cache was implemented over a year ago, it became necessary to rundown VM pages at I/O completion. The unfortunate and unforeseen side effect of this is that pmap functions are now called at bio interrupt time. If there happend to be a process using the alternate page table map when this I/O completion occurred, it was possible for a different process's address space to be switched into the alternate page table map - leaving the current pmap process with the wrong address space mapped when the interrupt completed. This resulted in BAD things happening like pages being mapped or removed from the wrong address space, etc.. Since a very common case of a process modifying another process's address space is during fork when the kernel stack is inserted, one of the most common manifestations of this bug was the kernel stack not being mapped properly, resulting in a silent hang or reboot. This made it VERY difficult to troubleshoot this bug (I've been trying to figure out the cause of this for >6 months). Fortunately, the set of conditions that must be true before this problem occurs is sufficiently rare enough that most people never saw the bug occur. As I/O rates increase, however, so does the frequency of the crashes. This problem used to kill wcarchive about every 10 days, but in more recent times when the traffic exceeded >100GB/day, the machine could barely manage 6 hours of uptime. The fix is to make certain that no process has the pages mapped that are involved in the I/O, before the I/O is started. The pages are made busy, so no process will be able to map them, either, until the I/O has finished. This side-steps the issue by still allowing the pmap functions to be called at interrupt time, but also assuring that the alternate page table map won't be switched. Unfortunately, this appears to not be the only cause of this problem. :-( Reviewed by: dyson

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.

This should fix the problem with the modification date previous not getting updated. Also dramatically simplifies the code. Note that this is going to change in the future and be implemented via VOP_PUTPAGES(). vm_object.c: Fixed a pile of bugs related to cleaning (vnode) objects. The performance of vm_object_page_clean() is terrible when dealing with huge objects, but this will change when we implement a binary tree to keep the object pages sorted. vm_pageout.c: Fixed broken clustering of pageouts. Fixed race conditions and other lockup style bugs in the scanning of pages. Improved performance.

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.

Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11 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.

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.

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. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Changes from John Dyson and myself: Fixed remaining known bugs in the buffer IO and VM system. vfs_bio.c: Fixed some race conditions and locking bugs. Improved performance by removing some (now) unnecessary code and fixing some broken logic. Fixed process accounting of # of FS outputs. Properly handle NFS interrupts (B_EINTR). (various) Replaced calls to clrbuf() with calls to an optimized routine call vfs_bio_clrbuf(). (various FS sync) Sync out modified vnode_pager backed pages. ffs_vnops.c: Do two passes: Sync out file data first, then indirect blocks. vm_fault.c: Fixed deadly embrace caused by acquiring locks in the wrong order. vnode_pager.c: Changed to use buffer I/O system for writing out modified pages. This should fix the problem with the modification date previous not getting updated. Also dramatically simplifies the code. Note that this is going to change in the future and be implemented via VOP_PUTPAGES(). vm_object.c: Fixed a pile of bugs related to cleaning (vnode) objects. The performance of vm_object_page_clean() is terrible when dealing with huge objects, but this will change when we implement a binary tree to keep the object pages sorted. vm_pageout.c: Fixed broken clustering of pageouts. Fixed race conditions and other lockup style bugs in the scanning of pages. Improved performance.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h 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. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

Fixed two potentially serious classes of bugs: 1) The vnode pager wasn't properly tracking the file size due to "size" being page rounded in some cases and not in others. This sometimes resulted in corrupted files. First noticed by Terry Lambert. Fixed by changing the "size" pager_alloc parameter to be a 64bit byte value (as opposed to a 32bit page index) and changing the pagers and their callers to deal with this properly. 2) Fixed a bogus type cast in round_page() and trunc_page() that caused some 64bit offsets and sizes to be scrambled. Removing the cast required adding casts at a few dozen callers. There may be problems with other bogus casts in close-by macros. A quick check seemed to indicate that those were okay, however.

Eliminated many redundant vm_map_lookup operations for vm_mmap. Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish overhead for merged cache. Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant calls to cluster_rbuild. Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials. Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6. Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files. Additionally, fixes in the various pagers. Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs. Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code will not as readily thrash. Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE), thereby improving efficiency of several routines. Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations. Significantly speed up process forks. Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause that happens every 30seconds. Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the case of filesystems mounted async. Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO buffers.

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.

VM level code cleanups. 1) Start using TSM. Struct procs continue to point to upages structure, after being freed. Struct vmspace continues to point to pte object and kva space for kstack. u_map is now superfluous. 2) vm_map's don't need to be reference counted. They always exist either in the kernel or in a vmspace. The vmspaces are managed by reference counts. 3) Remove the "wired" vm_map nonsense. 4) No need to keep a cache of kernel stack kva's. 5) Get rid of strange looking ++var, and change to var++. 6) Change more data structures to use our "zone" allocator. Added struct proc, struct vmspace and struct vnode. This saves a significant amount of kva space and physical memory. Additionally, this enables TSM for the zone managed memory. 7) Keep ioopt disabled for now. 8) Remove the now bogus "single use" map concept. 9) Use generation counts or id's for data structures residing in TSM, where it allows us to avoid unneeded restart overhead during traversals, where blocking might occur. 10) Account better for memory deficits, so the pageout daemon will be able to make enough memory available (experimental.) 11) Fix some vnode locking problems. (From Tor, I think.) 12) Add a check in ufs_lookup, to avoid lots of unneeded calls to bcmp. (experimental.) 13) Significantly shrink, cleanup, and make slightly faster the vm_fault.c code. Use generation counts, get rid of unneded collpase operations, and clean up the cluster code. 14) Make vm_zone more suitable for TSM. This commit is partially as a result of discussions and contributions from other people, including DG, Tor Egge, PHK, and probably others that I have forgotten to attribute (so let me know, if I forgot.) This is not the infamous, final cleanup of the vnode stuff, but a necessary step. Vnode mgmt should be correct, but things might still change, and there is still some missing stuff (like ioopt, and physical backing of non-merged cache files, debugging of layering concepts.)

vm_page_wire(p);
This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There 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.

While in the real world, I had a bad case of being swapped out for a lot of cycles. While waiting there I added a lot of the extra ()'s I have, (I have never used LISP to any extent). So I compiled the kernel with -Wall and shut up a lot of "suggest you add ()'s", removed a bunch of unused var's and added a couple of declarations here and there. Having a lap-top is highly recommended. My kernel still runs, yell at me if you kernel breaks.

Added a second argument, "activate" to the vm_page_unwire() call so that the caller can select either inactive or active queue to put the page on.

vm_page_unwire(p, 0);
Eliminated many redundant vm_map_lookup operations for vm_mmap. Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish overhead for merged cache. Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant calls to cluster_rbuild. Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials. Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6. Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files. Additionally, fixes in the various pagers. Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs. Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code will not as readily thrash. Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE), thereby improving efficiency of several routines. Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations. Significantly speed up process forks. Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause that happens every 30seconds. Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the case of filesystems mounted async. Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO buffers.

Add a DDB command `show buffer', to display a struct buf. It's impossible to display everything, so i've chosen a small subset. Add more to this as you think seems useful.
