Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

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 size and contents of the DEV_STRATEGY() macro has progressed to the point where it being a macro is no longer sensible, and it will only be more so in days to come. BIO_STRATEGY() is now only used from DEV_STRATEGY() and should not be used directly anymore. Put the contents of both in the new function dev_strategy() and make DEV_STRATEGY() call that function. In addition, this allows us to make the rather magic bufdonebio() helper function static. This alse saves hunderedandsome bytes of code in a typical kernel.

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>

Switch the vm_object mutex to be a rwlock. This will enable in the future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages are accessed for reading purposes. The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported: * The KPI changes as follow: - VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED() (in order to avoid visibility of implementation details) - The read-mode operations are added: VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED() * The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h. * zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris versions must be avoided. At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs. The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

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.

Normalize a significant number of kernel malloc type names: - Prefer '_' to ' ', as it results in more easily parsed results in memory monitoring tools such as vmstat. - Remove punctuation that is incompatible with using memory type names as file names, such as '/' characters. - Disambiguate some collisions by adding subsystem prefixes to some memory types. - Generally prefer lower case to upper case. - If the same type is defined in multiple architecture directories, attempt to use the same name in additional cases. Not all instances were caught in this change, so more work is required to finish this conversion. Similar changes are required for UMA zone names.

This patch removes the VOP_BWRITE() vector. VOP_BWRITE() was a hack which made it possible for NFS client side to use struct buf with non-bio backing. This patch takes a more general approach and adds a bp->b_op vector where more methods can be added. The success of this patch depends on bp->b_op being initialized all relevant places for some value of "relevant" which is not easy to determine. For now the buffers have grown a b_magic element which will make such issues a tiny bit easier to debug.

Cylinder group bitmaps and blocks containing inode for a snapshot file are after snaplock, while other ffs device buffers are before snaplock in global lock order. By itself, this could cause deadlock when bdwrite() tries to flush dirty buffers on snapshotted ffs. If, during the flush, COW activity for snapshot needs to allocate block and ffs_alloccg() selects the cylinder group that is being written by bdwrite(), then kernel would panic due to recursive buffer lock acquision. Avoid dealing with buffers in bdwrite() that are from other side of snaplock divisor in the lock order then the buffer being written. Add new BOP, bop_bdwrite(), to do dirty buffer flushing for same vnode in the bdwrite(). Default implementation, bufbdflush(), refactors the code from bdwrite(). For ffs device buffers, specialized implementation is used.

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

struct buf *buf; /* buffer header pool */
Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

Fix two issues with bufdaemon, often causing the processes to hang in the "nbufkv" sleep. First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon. Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk() is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow block allocation failed. Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload, quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked. Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

Fix two issues with bufdaemon, often causing the processes to hang in the "nbufkv" sleep. First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon. Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk() is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow block allocation failed. Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload, quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked. Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

Add barrier write capability to the VFS buffer interface. A barrier write is a disk write request that tells the disk that the buffer being written must be committed to the media along with any writes that preceeded it before any future blocks may be written to the drive. Barrier writes are provided by adding the functions bbarrierwrite (bwrite with barrier) and babarrierwrite (bawrite with barrier). Following a bbarrierwrite the client knows that the requested buffer is on the media. It does not ensure that buffers written before that buffer are on the media. It only ensure that buffers written before that buffer will get to the media before any buffers written after that buffer. A flush command must be sent to the disk to ensure that all earlier written buffers are on the media. Reviewed by: kib Tested by: Peter Holm

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>

Fix two issues with bufdaemon, often causing the processes to hang in the "nbufkv" sleep. First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon. Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk() is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow block allocation failed. Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload, quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked. Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

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.

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.

/*
* runningbufwakeup() - in-progress I/O accounting.
*
*/
Un-staticize runningbufwakeup() and staticize updateproc. Add a new private thread flag to indicate that the thread should not sleep if runningbufspace is too large. Set this flag on the bufdaemon and syncer threads so that they skip the waitrunningbufspace() call in bufwrite() rather than than checking the proc pointer vs. the known proc pointers for these two threads. A way of preventing these threads from being starved for I/O but still placing limits on their outstanding I/O would be desirable. Set this flag in ffs_copyonwrite() to prevent bufwrite() calls from blocking on the runningbufspace check while holding snaplk. This prevents snaplk from being held for an arbitrarily long period of time if runningbufspace is high and greatly reduces the contention for snaplk. The disadvantage is that ffs_copyonwrite() can start a large amount of I/O if there are a large number of snapshots, which could cause a deadlock in other parts of the code. Call runningbufwakeup() in ffs_copyonwrite() to decrement runningbufspace before attempting to grab snaplk so that I/O requests waiting on snaplk are not counted in runningbufspace as being in-progress. Increment runningbufspace again before actually launching the original I/O request. Prior to the above two changes, the system could deadlock if enough I/O requests were blocked by snaplk to prevent runningbufspace from falling below lorunningspace and one of the bawrite() calls in ffs_copyonwrite() blocked in waitrunningbufspace() while holding snaplk.

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.

Adjust some variables (mostly related to the buffer cache) that hold address space sizes to be longs instead of ints. Specifically, the follow values are now longs: runningbufspace, bufspace, maxbufspace, bufmallocspace, maxbufmallocspace, lobufspace, hibufspace, lorunningspace, hirunningspace, maxswzone, maxbcache, and maxpipekva. Previously, a relatively small number (~ 44000) of buffers set in kern.nbuf would result in integer overflows resulting either in hangs or bogus values of hidirtybuffers and lodirtybuffers. Now one has to overflow a long to see such problems. There was a check for a nbuf setting that would cause overflows in the auto-tuning of nbuf. I've changed it to always check and cap nbuf but warn if a user-supplied tunable would cause overflow. Note that this changes the ABI of several sysctls that are used by things like top(1), etc., so any MFC would probably require a some gross shims to allow for that. MFC after: 1 month

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 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>

Switch the vm_object mutex to be a rwlock. This will enable in the future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages are accessed for reading purposes. The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported: * The KPI changes as follow: - VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED() (in order to avoid visibility of implementation details) - The read-mode operations are added: VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED() * The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h. * zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris versions must be avoided. At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs. The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

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.

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.

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.

Change hw.physmem and hw.usermem to unsigned long like they used to be in the original hardwired sysctl implementation. The buf size calculator still overflows an integer on machines with large KVA (eg: ia64) where the number of pages does not fit into an int. Use 'long' there. Change Maxmem and physmem and related variables to 'long', mostly for completeness. Machines are not likely to overflow 'int' pages in the near term, but then again, 640K ought to be enough for anybody. This comes for free on 32 bit machines, so why not?

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.

Adjust some variables (mostly related to the buffer cache) that hold address space sizes to be longs instead of ints. Specifically, the follow values are now longs: runningbufspace, bufspace, maxbufspace, bufmallocspace, maxbufmallocspace, lobufspace, hibufspace, lorunningspace, hirunningspace, maxswzone, maxbcache, and maxpipekva. Previously, a relatively small number (~ 44000) of buffers set in kern.nbuf would result in integer overflows resulting either in hangs or bogus values of hidirtybuffers and lodirtybuffers. Now one has to overflow a long to see such problems. There was a check for a nbuf setting that would cause overflows in the auto-tuning of nbuf. I've changed it to always check and cap nbuf but warn if a user-supplied tunable would cause overflow. Note that this changes the ABI of several sysctls that are used by things like top(1), etc., so any MFC would probably require a some gross shims to allow for that. MFC after: 1 month

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

Adjust some variables (mostly related to the buffer cache) that hold address space sizes to be longs instead of ints. Specifically, the follow values are now longs: runningbufspace, bufspace, maxbufspace, bufmallocspace, maxbufmallocspace, lobufspace, hibufspace, lorunningspace, hirunningspace, maxswzone, maxbcache, and maxpipekva. Previously, a relatively small number (~ 44000) of buffers set in kern.nbuf would result in integer overflows resulting either in hangs or bogus values of hidirtybuffers and lodirtybuffers. Now one has to overflow a long to see such problems. There was a check for a nbuf setting that would cause overflows in the auto-tuning of nbuf. I've changed it to always check and cap nbuf but warn if a user-supplied tunable would cause overflow. Note that this changes the ABI of several sysctls that are used by things like top(1), etc., so any MFC would probably require a some gross shims to allow for that. MFC after: 1 month

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.

Having a lap-top is highly recommended. My kernel still runs, yell at me if you kernel breaks.

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 the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

Adjust some variables (mostly related to the buffer cache) that hold address space sizes to be longs instead of ints. Specifically, the follow values are now longs: runningbufspace, bufspace, maxbufspace, bufmallocspace, maxbufmallocspace, lobufspace, hibufspace, lorunningspace, hirunningspace, maxswzone, maxbcache, and maxpipekva. Previously, a relatively small number (~ 44000) of buffers set in kern.nbuf would result in integer overflows resulting either in hangs or bogus values of hidirtybuffers and lodirtybuffers. Now one has to overflow a long to see such problems. There was a check for a nbuf setting that would cause overflows in the auto-tuning of nbuf. I've changed it to always check and cap nbuf but warn if a user-supplied tunable would cause overflow. Note that this changes the ABI of several sysctls that are used by things like top(1), etc., so any MFC would probably require a some gross shims to allow for that. MFC after: 1 month

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.

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.

hidirtybuffers = nbuf / 4 + 20;
Prevent large files from monopolizing the system buffers. Keep track of the number of dirty buffers held by a vnode. When a bdwrite is done on a buffer, check the existing number of dirty buffers associated with its vnode. If the number rises above vfs.dirtybufthresh (currently 90% of vfs.hidirtybuffers), one of the other (hopefully older) dirty buffers associated with the vnode is written (using bawrite). In the event that this approach fails to curb the growth in it the vnode's number of dirty buffers (due to soft updates rollback dependencies), the more drastic approach of doing a VOP_FSYNC on the vnode is used. This code primarily affects very large and actively written files such as snapshots. This change should eliminate hanging when taking snapshots or doing background fsck on very large filesystems. Hopefully, one day it will be possible to cache filesystem metadata in the VM cache as is done with file data. As it stands, only the buffer cache can be used which limits total metadata storage to about 20Mb no matter how much memory is available on the system. This rather small memory gets badly thrashed causing a lot of extra I/O. For example, taking a snapshot of a 1Tb filesystem minimally requires about 35,000 write operations, but because of the cache thrashing (we only have about 350 buffers at our disposal) ends up doing about 237,540 I/O's thus taking twenty-five minutes instead of four if it could run entirely in the cache.

Adjust some variables (mostly related to the buffer cache) that hold address space sizes to be longs instead of ints. Specifically, the follow values are now longs: runningbufspace, bufspace, maxbufspace, bufmallocspace, maxbufmallocspace, lobufspace, hibufspace, lorunningspace, hirunningspace, maxswzone, maxbcache, and maxpipekva. Previously, a relatively small number (~ 44000) of buffers set in kern.nbuf would result in integer overflows resulting either in hangs or bogus values of hidirtybuffers and lodirtybuffers. Now one has to overflow a long to see such problems. There was a check for a nbuf setting that would cause overflows in the auto-tuning of nbuf. I've changed it to always check and cap nbuf but warn if a user-supplied tunable would cause overflow. Note that this changes the ABI of several sysctls that are used by things like top(1), etc., so any MFC would probably require a some gross shims to allow for that. MFC after: 1 month

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 the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.

Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

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.

TAILQ_REMOVE(&bufqueues[bp->b_qindex], bp, b_freelist);
Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.

This is done because the nfsclient code overloads the b_freelist queue for its own async. io queue. - Simplify the numfreebuffers accounting by removing a switch statement that executed the same code in every possible case. - getnewbuf() can encounter locked bufs on free-lists once Giant is removed. Remove a panic associated with this condition and delay asserts that inspect the buf until after it is locked. Reviewed by: phk Sponsored by: Isilon Systems, Inc.

This change avoids a kernel deadlock on "snaplk" when using snapshots on UFS filesystems running with journaled soft updates. This is the first of several bugs that need to be fixed before removing the restriction added in -r230250 to prevent the use of snapshots on filesystems running with journaled soft updates. The deadlock occurs when holding the snapshot lock (snaplk) and then trying to flush an inode via ffs_update(). We become blocked by another process trying to flush a different inode contained in the same inode block that we need. It holds the inode block for which we are waiting locked. When it tries to write the inode block, it gets blocked waiting for the our snaplk when it calls ffs_copyonwrite() to see if the inode block needs to be copied in our snapshot. The most obvious place that this deadlock arises is in the ffs_copyonwrite() routine when it updates critical metadata in a snapshot and tries to write it out before proceeding. The fix here is to write the data and indirect block pointer for the snapshot, but to skip the call to ffs_update() to write the snapshot inode. To ensure that we will never have to update a pointer in the inode itself, the ffs_snapshot() routine that creates the snapshot has to ensure that all the direct blocks are allocated as part of the creation of the snapshot. A less obvious place that this deadlock occurs is when we hold the snaplk because we are deleting a snapshot. In the course of doing the deletion, we need to allocate various soft update dependency structures and allocate some journal space. If we hit a resource limit while doing this we decrease the resources in use by flushing out an existing dirty file to get it to give up the soft dependency resources that it holds. The flush can cause an ffs_update() to be done on the inode for the file that we have selected to flush resulting in the same deadlock as described above when the inode that we have chosen to flush resides in the same inode block as the snapshot inode that we hold. The fix is to defer cleaning up any time that the inode on which we are operating is a snapshot. Help and review by: Jeff Roberson Tested by: Peter Holm MFC (to 9 only) after: 2 weeks

* 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>

Add barrier write capability to the VFS buffer interface. A barrier write is a disk write request that tells the disk that the buffer being written must be committed to the media along with any writes that preceeded it before any future blocks may be written to the drive. Barrier writes are provided by adding the functions bbarrierwrite (bwrite with barrier) and babarrierwrite (bawrite with barrier). Following a bbarrierwrite the client knows that the requested buffer is on the media. It does not ensure that buffers written before that buffer are on the media. It only ensure that buffers written before that buffer will get to the media before any buffers written after that buffer. A flush command must be sent to the disk to ensure that all earlier written buffers are on the media. Reviewed by: kib Tested by: Peter Holm

- Add real assertions to lockmgr locking primitives. A couple of notes for this: * WITNESS support, when enabled, is only used for shared locks in order to avoid problems with the "disowned" locks * KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD only exists in the lockmgr namespace in order to assert for a generic thread (not curthread) owning or not the lock. Really, this kind of check is bogus but it seems very widespread in the consumers code. So, for the moment, we cater this untrusted behaviour, until the consumers are not fixed and the options could be removed (hopefully during 8.0-CURRENT lifecycle) * Implementing KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD (not surported natively by WITNESS) made necessary the introduction of LA_MASKASSERT which specifies the range for default lock assertion flags * About other aspects, lockmgr_assert() follows exactly what other locking primitives offer about this operation. - Build real assertions for buffer cache locks on the top of lockmgr_assert(). They can be used with the BUF_ASSERT_*(bp) paradigm. - Add checks at lock destruction time and use a cookie for verifying lock integrity at any operation. - Redefine BUF_LOCKFREE() in order to not use a direct assert but let it rely on the aforementioned destruction time check. KPI results evidently broken, so __FreeBSD_version bumping and manpage update result necessary and will be committed soon. Side note: lockmgr_assert() will be used soon in order to implement real assertions in the vnode namespace replacing the legacy and still bogus "VOP_ISLOCKED()" way.

Background writes are entirely an FFS/Softupdates thing. Give FFS vnodes a specific bufwrite method which contains all the background write stuff and then calls into the default bufwrite() for the rest of the job. Remove all the background write related stuff from the normal bufwrite. This drags the softdep_move_dependencies() back into FFS. Long term, it is worth looking at simply copying the data into allocated memory and issuing the bio directly and not create the "shadow buf" in the first place (just like copy-on-write is done in snapshots for instance). I don't think we really gain anything but complexity from doing this with a buf.

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.

In bufwrite(), a dirty buffer is moved to the clean queue before the bufobj counter of the writes in progress is incremented. Other thread inspecting the bufobj would consider it clean. For the regular vnodes, the vnode lock is typically held both by the thread performing the bufwrite() and an other thread doing syncing, which prevents the situation. On the other hand, writes to the VCHR vnodes are done without holding vnode lock. Increment the write ref counter for the buffer object before calling bundirty().

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.

Previously, a relatively small number (~ 44000) of buffers set in kern.nbuf would result in integer overflows resulting either in hangs or bogus values of hidirtybuffers and lodirtybuffers.

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 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.

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.

Cylinder group bitmaps and blocks containing inode for a snapshot file are after snaplock, while other ffs device buffers are before snaplock in global lock order. By itself, this could cause deadlock when bdwrite() tries to flush dirty buffers on snapshotted ffs. If, during the flush, COW activity for snapshot needs to allocate block and ffs_alloccg() selects the cylinder group that is being written by bdwrite(), then kernel would panic due to recursive buffer lock acquision. Avoid dealing with buffers in bdwrite() that are from other side of snaplock divisor in the lock order then the buffer being written. Add new BOP, bop_bdwrite(), to do dirty buffer flushing for same vnode in the bdwrite(). Default implementation, bufbdflush(), refactors the code from bdwrite().

/*
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>

Prevent large files from monopolizing the system buffers. Keep track of the number of dirty buffers held by a vnode. When a bdwrite is done on a buffer, check the existing number of dirty buffers associated with its vnode. If the number rises above vfs.dirtybufthresh (currently 90% of vfs.hidirtybuffers), one of the other (hopefully older) dirty buffers associated with the vnode is written (using bawrite). In the event that this approach fails to curb the growth in it the vnode's number of dirty buffers (due to soft updates rollback dependencies), the more drastic approach of doing a VOP_FSYNC on the vnode is used. This code primarily affects very large and actively written files such as snapshots. This change should eliminate hanging when taking snapshots or doing background fsck on very large filesystems. Hopefully, one day it will be possible to cache filesystem metadata in the VM cache as is done with file data. As it stands, only the buffer cache can be used which limits total metadata storage to about 20Mb no matter how much memory is available on the system. This rather small memory gets badly thrashed causing a lot of extra I/O. For example, taking a snapshot of a 1Tb filesystem minimally requires about 35,000 write operations, but because of the cache thrashing (we only have about 350 buffers at our disposal) ends up doing about 237,540 I/O's thus taking twenty-five minutes instead of four if it could run entirely in the cache.

Add barrier write capability to the VFS buffer interface. A barrier write is a disk write request that tells the disk that the buffer being written must be committed to the media along with any writes that preceeded it before any future blocks may be written to the drive. Barrier writes are provided by adding the functions bbarrierwrite (bwrite with barrier) and babarrierwrite (bawrite with barrier). Following a bbarrierwrite the client knows that the requested buffer is on the media. It does not ensure that buffers written before that buffer are on the media. It only ensure that buffers written before that buffer will get to the media before any buffers written after that buffer. A flush command must be sent to the disk to ensure that all earlier written buffers are on the media. Reviewed by: kib Tested by: Peter Holm

- Add real assertions to lockmgr locking primitives.

Really, this kind of check is bogus but it seems very widespread in the consumers code. So, for the moment, we cater this untrusted behaviour, until the consumers are not fixed and the options could be removed (hopefully during 8.0-CURRENT lifecycle) * Implementing KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD (not surported natively by WITNESS) made necessary the introduction of LA_MASKASSERT which specifies the range for default lock assertion flags * About other aspects, lockmgr_assert() follows exactly what other locking primitives offer about this operation. - Build real assertions for buffer cache locks on the top of lockmgr_assert(). They can be used with the BUF_ASSERT_*(bp) paradigm. - Add checks at lock destruction time and use a cookie for verifying lock integrity at any operation. - Redefine BUF_LOCKFREE() in order to not use a direct assert but let it rely on the aforementioned destruction time check. KPI results evidently broken, so __FreeBSD_version bumping and manpage update result necessary and will be committed soon. Side note: lockmgr_assert() will be used soon in order to implement real assertions in the vnode namespace replacing the legacy and still bogus "VOP_ISLOCKED()" way.

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.

Prevent large files from monopolizing the system buffers. Keep track of the number of dirty buffers held by a vnode. When a bdwrite is done on a buffer, check the existing number of dirty buffers associated with its vnode. If the number rises above vfs.dirtybufthresh (currently 90% of vfs.hidirtybuffers), one of the other (hopefully older) dirty buffers associated with the vnode is written (using bawrite). In the event that this approach fails to curb the growth in it the vnode's number of dirty buffers (due to soft updates rollback dependencies), the more drastic approach of doing a VOP_FSYNC on the vnode is used. This code primarily affects very large and actively written files such as snapshots. This change should eliminate hanging when taking snapshots or doing background fsck on very large filesystems. Hopefully, one day it will be possible to cache filesystem metadata in the VM cache as is done with file data. As it stands, only the buffer cache can be used which limits total metadata storage to about 20Mb no matter how much memory is available on the system. This rather small memory gets badly thrashed causing a lot of extra I/O. For example, taking a snapshot of a 1Tb filesystem minimally requires about 35,000 write operations, but because of the cache thrashing (we only have about 350 buffers at our disposal) ends up doing about 237,540 I/O's thus taking twenty-five minutes instead of four if it could run entirely in the cache.

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>

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.

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.

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 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 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().

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.

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>

- Add real assertions to lockmgr locking primitives.

KPI results evidently broken, so __FreeBSD_version bumping and manpage update result necessary and will be committed soon.

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!)

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.

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>

Add barrier write capability to the VFS buffer interface. A barrier write is a disk write request that tells the disk that the buffer being written must be committed to the media along with any writes that preceeded it before any future blocks may be written to the drive. Barrier writes are provided by adding the functions bbarrierwrite (bwrite with barrier) and babarrierwrite (bawrite with barrier). Following a bbarrierwrite the client knows that the requested buffer is on the media. It does not ensure that buffers written before that buffer are on the media. It only ensure that buffers written before that buffer will get to the media before any buffers written after that buffer. A flush command must be sent to the disk to ensure that all earlier written buffers are on the media. Reviewed by: kib Tested by: Peter Holm

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.

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.

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.

Make recursive getblk() slightly more useful. Keep the buffer state intact if getblk() is done on the already owned buffer. Exit from brelse() early when the lock recursion is detected, otherwise brelse() might prematurely destroy the buffer under some circumstances.

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>

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.

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!)

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.

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.

b_waiters cannot be adequately protected by the interlock because it is dropped after the call to lockmgr() so just revert this approach using something similar to the precedent one: BUF_LOCKWAITERS() just checks if there are waiters (not the actual number of them) and it is based on newly introduced lockmgr_waiters() which returns if the lockmgr has waiters or not. The name has been choosen differently by old lockwaiters() in order to not confuse them. KPI results enriched by this commit so __FreeBSD_version bumping and manpage update will be happening soon. 'struct buf' also changes, so kernel ABI is disturbed. Bug found by: jeff Approved by: jeff, kib

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.

* 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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For low memory situations, non-VMIO buffers didnt't release pages back to the system when brelse() was called with B_RELBUF set on the buffer. This could be a problem when the system was low on memory, had many buffers on QUEUE_EMPTYKVA and started to traverse directories. For each getnewbuf(), pages were allocated from the system, driving the free reserve downwards. For each brelse(), the system put the buffer on QUEUE_CLEAN, with B_INVAL set. This commit changes the semantics of B_RELBUF to also free pages from non-VMIO buffers. Reviewed by: alc

b_waiters cannot be adequately protected by the interlock because it is dropped after the call to lockmgr() so just revert this approach using something similar to the precedent one: BUF_LOCKWAITERS() just checks if there are waiters (not the actual number of them) and it is based on newly introduced lockmgr_waiters() which returns if the lockmgr has waiters or not. The name has been choosen differently by old lockwaiters() in order to not confuse them. KPI results enriched by this commit so __FreeBSD_version bumping and manpage update will be happening soon. 'struct buf' also changes, so kernel ABI is disturbed. Bug found by: jeff Approved by: jeff, kib

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.

Add support to UFS2 to provide storage for extended attributes. As this code is not actually used by any of the existing interfaces, it seems unlikely to break anything (famous last words). The internal kernel interface to manipulate these attributes is invoked using two new IO_ flags: IO_NORMAL and IO_EXT. These flags may be specified in the ioflags word of VOP_READ, VOP_WRITE, and VOP_TRUNCATE. Specifying IO_NORMAL means that you want to do I/O to the normal data part of the file and IO_EXT means that you want to do I/O to the extended attributes part of the file. IO_NORMAL and IO_EXT are mutually exclusive for VOP_READ and VOP_WRITE, but may be specified individually or together in the case of VOP_TRUNCATE. For example, when removing a file, VOP_TRUNCATE is called with both IO_NORMAL and IO_EXT set. For backward compatibility, if neither IO_NORMAL nor IO_EXT is set, then IO_NORMAL is assumed. Note that the BA_ and IO_ flags have been `merged' so that they may both be used in the same flags word. This merger is possible by assigning the IO_ flags to the low sixteen bits and the BA_ flags the high sixteen bits. This works because the high sixteen bits of the IO_ word is reserved for read-ahead and help with write clustering so will never be used for flags. This merge lets us get away from code of the form: if (ioflags & IO_SYNC) flags |= BA_SYNC; For the future, I have considered adding a new field to the vattr structure, va_extsize. This addition could then be exported through the stat structure to allow applications to find out the size of the extended attribute storage and also would provide a more standard interface for truncating them (via VOP_SETATTR rather than VOP_TRUNCATE). I am also contemplating adding a pathconf parameter (for concreteness, lets call it _PC_MAX_EXTSIZE) which would let an application determine the maximum size of the extended atribute storage.

Check for the BKGRDINPROG flag before recycling or throwing away a buffer. We do this instead because it is not safe for us to move the original buffer to a new queue from the callback on the background write buffer. - Remove the B_LOCKED flag and the locked buffer queue. They are no longer used. - The vnode interlock is used around checks for BKGRDINPROG where it may not be strictly necessary. If we hold the buf lock the a back-ground write will not be started without our knowledge, one may only be completed while we're not looking. Rather than remove the code, Document two of the places where this extra locking is done. A pass should be done to verify and minimize the locking later.

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.

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.

Add support to UFS2 to provide storage for extended attributes. As this code is not actually used by any of the existing interfaces, it seems unlikely to break anything (famous last words). The internal kernel interface to manipulate these attributes is invoked using two new IO_ flags: IO_NORMAL and IO_EXT. These flags may be specified in the ioflags word of VOP_READ, VOP_WRITE, and VOP_TRUNCATE. Specifying IO_NORMAL means that you want to do I/O to the normal data part of the file and IO_EXT means that you want to do I/O to the extended attributes part of the file. IO_NORMAL and IO_EXT are mutually exclusive for VOP_READ and VOP_WRITE, but may be specified individually or together in the case of VOP_TRUNCATE. For example, when removing a file, VOP_TRUNCATE is called with both IO_NORMAL and IO_EXT set. For backward compatibility, if neither IO_NORMAL nor IO_EXT is set, then IO_NORMAL is assumed. Note that the BA_ and IO_ flags have been `merged' so that they may both be used in the same flags word. This merger is possible by assigning the IO_ flags to the low sixteen bits and the BA_ flags the high sixteen bits. This works because the high sixteen bits of the IO_ word is reserved for read-ahead and help with write clustering so will never be used for flags. This merge lets us get away from code of the form: if (ioflags & IO_SYNC) flags |= BA_SYNC; For the future, I have considered adding a new field to the vattr structure, va_extsize. This addition could then be exported through the stat structure to allow applications to find out the size of the extended attribute storage and also would provide a more standard interface for truncating them (via VOP_SETATTR rather than VOP_TRUNCATE). I am also contemplating adding a pathconf parameter (for concreteness, lets call it _PC_MAX_EXTSIZE) which would let an application determine the maximum size of the extended atribute storage.

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.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested.

Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before.

This commit represents work mainly submitted by Tor and slightly modified by myself. It solves a serious vm_map corruption problem that can occur with the buffer cache when block sizes > 64K are used. This code has been heavily tested in -stable but only tested somewhat on -current. An MFC will occur in a few days. My additions include the vm_map_simplify_entry() and minor buffer cache boundry case fix. Make the buffer cache use a system map for buffer cache KVM rather then a normal map. Ensure that VM objects are not allocated for system maps. There were cases where a buffer map could wind up with a backing VM object -- normally harmless, but this could also result in the buffer cache blocking in places where it assumes no blocking will occur, possibly resulting in corrupted maps. Fix a minor boundry case in the buffer cache size limit is reached that could result in non-optimal code. Add vm_map_simplify_entry() calls to prevent 'creeping proliferation' of vm_map_entry's in the buffer cache's vm_map. Previously only a simple linear optimization was made. (The buffer vm_map typically has only a handful of vm_map_entry's. This stabilizes it at that level permanently). PR: 20609 Submitted by: (Tor Egge) tegge

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.

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.

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.

* 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>

This patch implements O_DIRECT about 80% of the way. It takes a patchset Tor created a while ago, removes the raw I/O piece (that has cache coherency problems), and adds a buffer cache / VM freeing piece. Essentially this patch causes O_DIRECT I/O to not be left in the cache, but does not prevent it from going through the cache, hence the 80%. For the last 20% we need a method by which the I/O can be issued directly to buffer supplied by the user process and bypass the buffer cache entirely, but still maintain cache coherency. I also have the code working under -stable but the changes made to sys/file.h may not be MFCable, so an MFC is not on the table yet. Submitted by: tegge, dillon

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

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 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 the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

This commit represents work mainly submitted by Tor and slightly modified by myself. It solves a serious vm_map corruption problem that can occur with the buffer cache when block sizes > 64K are used. This code has been heavily tested in -stable but only tested somewhat on -current. An MFC will occur in a few days. My additions include the vm_map_simplify_entry() and minor buffer cache boundry case fix. Make the buffer cache use a system map for buffer cache KVM rather then a normal map. Ensure that VM objects are not allocated for system maps. There were cases where a buffer map could wind up with a backing VM object -- normally harmless, but this could also result in the buffer cache blocking in places where it assumes no blocking will occur, possibly resulting in corrupted maps. Fix a minor boundry case in the buffer cache size limit is reached that could result in non-optimal code. Add vm_map_simplify_entry() calls to prevent 'creeping proliferation' of vm_map_entry's in the buffer cache's vm_map. Previously only a simple linear optimization was made. (The buffer vm_map typically has only a handful of vm_map_entry's. This stabilizes it at that level permanently). PR: 20609 Submitted by: (Tor Egge) tegge

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).

Switch the vm_object mutex to be a rwlock. This will enable in the future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages are accessed for reading purposes. The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported: * The KPI changes as follow: - VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED() (in order to avoid visibility of implementation details) - The read-mode operations are added: VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED() * The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h. * zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris versions must be avoided. At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs. The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

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.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

* 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>

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.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same.

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>

Fix two issues with bufdaemon, often causing the processes to hang in the "nbufkv" sleep. First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon. Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk() is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow block allocation failed. Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload, quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked. Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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 the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as 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.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

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.

- Eliminate the acquisition and release of the bqlock in bremfree() by setting the B_REMFREE flag in the buf. This is done to prevent lock order reversals with code that must call bremfree() with a local lock held. This also reduces overhead by removing two lock operations per buf for fsync() and similar. - Check for the B_REMFREE flag in brelse() and bqrelse() after the bqlock has been acquired so that we may remove ourself from the free-list. - Provide a bremfreef() function to immediately remove a buf from a free-list for use only by NFS. This is done because the nfsclient code overloads the b_freelist queue for its own async. io queue. - Simplify the numfreebuffers accounting by removing a switch statement that executed the same code in every possible case. - getnewbuf() can encounter locked bufs on free-lists once Giant is removed. Remove a panic associated with this condition and delay asserts that inspect the buf until after it is locked. Reviewed by: phk Sponsored by: Isilon Systems, Inc.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.

b_waiters cannot be adequately protected by the interlock because it is dropped after the call to lockmgr() so just revert this approach using something similar to the precedent one: BUF_LOCKWAITERS() just checks if there are waiters (not the actual number of them) and it is based on newly introduced lockmgr_waiters() which returns if the lockmgr has waiters or not.

This commit represents work mainly submitted by Tor and slightly modified by myself. It solves a serious vm_map corruption problem that can occur with the buffer cache when block sizes > 64K are used. This code has been heavily tested in -stable but only tested somewhat on -current. An MFC will occur in a few days. My additions include the vm_map_simplify_entry() and minor buffer cache boundry case fix. Make the buffer cache use a system map for buffer cache KVM rather then a normal map. Ensure that VM objects are not allocated for system maps. There were cases where a buffer map could wind up with a backing VM object -- normally harmless, but this could also result in the buffer cache blocking in places where it assumes no blocking will occur, possibly resulting in corrupted maps. Fix a minor boundry case in the buffer cache size limit is reached that could result in non-optimal code. Add vm_map_simplify_entry() calls to prevent 'creeping proliferation' of vm_map_entry's in the buffer cache's vm_map. Previously only a simple linear optimization was made. (The buffer vm_map typically has only a handful of vm_map_entry's. This stabilizes it at that level permanently). PR: 20609 Submitted by: (Tor Egge) tegge

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.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

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 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 the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings.

Fix two issues with bufdaemon, often causing the processes to hang in the "nbufkv" sleep. First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon. Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk() is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow block allocation failed. Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload, quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked. Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

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 process is allowed to take the buffer cache to the limit

Fix two issues with bufdaemon, often causing the processes to hang in the "nbufkv" sleep. First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon. Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk() is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow block allocation failed. Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload, quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked. Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

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 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 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 daemon cannot skip over buffers owned by locked inodes as they may be the only viable ones to flush. Thus it will now wait for an inode lock if the other alternatives will result in rollbacks (and immediate redirtying of the buffer). If only buffers with rollbacks are available, one will be flushed, but then the buffer daemon will wait briefly before proceeding. Failing to wait briefly effectively deadlocks a uniprocessor since every other process writing to that filesystem will wait for the buffer daemon to clean up which takes close enough to forever to feel like a deadlock.

Fix two issues with bufdaemon, often causing the processes to hang in the "nbufkv" sleep. First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon. Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk() is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow block allocation failed. Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload, quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked. Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

When the number of dirty buffers rises too high, the buf_daemon runs to help clean up. After selecting a potential buffer to write, this patch has it acquire a lock on the vnode that owns the buffer before trying to write it. The vnode lock is necessary to avoid a race with some other process holding the vnode locked and trying to flush its dirty buffers. In particular, if the vnode in question is a snapshot file, then the race can lead to a deadlock. To avoid slowing down the buf_daemon, it does a non-blocking lock request when trying to lock the vnode. If it fails to get the lock it skips over the buffer and continues down its queue looking for buffers to flush. Sponsored by: DARPA & NAI Labs.

Fix two issues with bufdaemon, often causing the processes to hang in the "nbufkv" sleep. First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon. Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk() is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow block allocation failed. Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload, quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked. Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

Failing to wait briefly effectively deadlocks a uniprocessor since every other process writing to that filesystem will wait for the buffer daemon to clean up which takes close enough to forever to feel like a deadlock.

- Remove a race between fsync like functions and flushbufqueues() by requiring locked bufs in vfs_bio_awrite(). Previously the buf could have been written out by fsync before we acquired the buf lock if it weren't for giant. The cluster_wbuild() handles this race properly but the single write at the end of vfs_bio_awrite() would not. - Modify flushbufqueues() so there is only one copy of the loop. Pass a parameter in that says whether or not we should sync bufs with deps. - Call flushbufqueues() a second time and then break if we couldn't find any bufs without deps.

The buffer daemon cannot skip over buffers owned by locked inodes as they may be the only viable ones to flush. Thus it will now wait for an inode lock if the other alternatives will result in rollbacks (and immediate redirtying of the buffer). If only buffers with rollbacks are available, one will be flushed, but then the buffer daemon will wait briefly before proceeding.

In flushbufqueues(), do not allocate sentinel buffer on the stack, struct buf is large. Use sleeping malloc(9) call, and zero the allocated buf as a debugging feature.

- Lock down the buffer cache's infrastructure code. This includes locks on buf lists, synchronization variables, and atomic ops for the counters. This change does not remove giant from any code although some pushdown may be possible. - In vfs_bio_awrite() don't access buf fields without the buf lock.

free(sentinel, M_TEMP);
- Under heavy IO load the buf daemon can run for many hundereds of milliseconds due to what is essentially n^2 algorithmic complexity. This change makes the algorithm N*2 instead. This heavy processing manifested itself as skipping in audio and video playback due to the long scheduling latencies and contention on giant by pcm. - flushbufqueues() is now responsible for flushing multiple buffers rather than one at a time. This allows us to save our progress in the list by using a sentinal. We must do the numdirtywakeup() and waitrunningbufspace() here now rather than in buf_daemon(). - Also add a uio_yield() after we have processed the list once for bufs without deps and again for bufs with deps. This is to release Giant and allow any other giant locked code to proceed. Tested by: Many users on current@ Revealed by: schedgraph traces sent by Emil Mikulic & Anthony Ginepro

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.

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.

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>

vfs_clean_pages_dirty_buf(struct buf *bp)
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 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.

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.

Make vm_page's PG_ZERO flag immutable between the time of the page's allocation and deallocation. This flag's principal use is shortly after allocation. For such cases, clearing the flag is pointless. The only unusual use of PG_ZERO is in vfs_bio_clrbuf(). However, allocbuf() never requests a prezeroed page.

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.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.

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.

Instead of doing comparisons using the pcpu area to see if a thread is an idle thread, just see if it has the IDLETD flag set. That flag will probably move to the pflags word as it's permenent and never chenges for the life of the system so it doesn't need locking.

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. 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().

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.

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.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

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.

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>

bo_bsize: revert r205860 and take an alternative approch in getblk In r205860 I missed the fact that there is code that strongly assumes that devvp bo_bsize is equal to underlying provider's sectorsize. In those places it is hard to obtain the sectorsize in an alternative way if devvp bo_bsize is set to something else. So, I am reverting bo_bsize assigment in g_vfs_open. Instead, in getblk I use DEV_BSIZE block size for b_offset calculation if vp is a disk vp as reported by vn_isdisk. This should coinside with vp being a devvp.

This commit adds basic support for the UFS2 filesystem. The UFS2 filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density, and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1 filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems, you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c) as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the boot block is increased, this code can be defined. Things to note: the definition of SBSIZE has changed to SBLOCKSIZE. The header file <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> must be included before <ufs/ffs/fs.h> so as to get the definitions of ufs2_daddr_t and ufs_lbn_t. Still TODO: Verify that the first level bootstraps work for all the architectures. Convert the utility ffsinfo to understand UFS2 and test growfs. Add support for the extended attribute storage. Update soft updates to ensure integrity of extended attribute storage. Switch the current extended attribute interfaces to use the extended attribute storage.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

Fix two issues with bufdaemon, often causing the processes to hang in the "nbufkv" sleep. First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon. Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk() is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow block allocation failed. Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload, quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked. Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

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.

Replace the global buffer hash table with per-vnode splay trees using a methodology similar to the vm_map_entry splay and the VM splay that Alan Cox is working on. Extensive testing has appeared to have shown no increase in overhead. Disadvantages Dirties more cache lines during lookups. Not as fast as a hash table lookup (but still N log N and optimal when there is locality of reference). Advantages vnode->v_dirtyblkhd is now perfectly sorted, making fsync/sync/filesystem syncer operate more efficiently. I get to rip out all the old hacks (some of which were mine) that tried to keep the v_dirtyblkhd tailq sorted. The per-vnode splay tree should be easier to lock / SMPng pushdown on vnodes will be easier. This commit along with another that Alan is working on for the VM page global hash table will allow me to implement ranged fsync(), optimize server-side nfs commit rpcs, and implement partial syncs by the filesystem syncer (aka filesystem syncer would detect that someone is trying to get the vnode lock, remembers its place, and skip to the next vnode). Note that the buffer cache splay is somewhat more complex then other splays due to special handling of background bitmap writes (multiple buffers with the same lblkno in the same vnode), and B_INVAL discontinuities between the old hash table and the existence of the buffer on the v_cleanblkhd list.

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.

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.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

- Add real assertions to lockmgr locking primitives. A couple of notes for this: * WITNESS support, when enabled, is only used for shared locks in order to avoid problems with the "disowned" locks * KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD only exists in the lockmgr namespace in order to assert for a generic thread (not curthread) owning or not the lock. Really, this kind of check is bogus but it seems very widespread in the consumers code. So, for the moment, we cater this untrusted behaviour, until the consumers are not fixed and the options could be removed (hopefully during 8.0-CURRENT lifecycle) * Implementing KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD (not surported natively by WITNESS) made necessary the introduction of LA_MASKASSERT which specifies the range for default lock assertion flags * About other aspects, lockmgr_assert() follows exactly what other locking primitives offer about this operation. - Build real assertions for buffer cache locks on the top of lockmgr_assert(). They can be used with the BUF_ASSERT_*(bp) paradigm. - Add checks at lock destruction time and use a cookie for verifying lock integrity at any operation. - Redefine BUF_LOCKFREE() in order to not use a direct assert but let it rely on the aforementioned destruction time check. KPI results evidently broken, so __FreeBSD_version bumping and manpage update result necessary and will be committed 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.

Fix two issues with bufdaemon, often causing the processes to hang in the "nbufkv" sleep. First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon. Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk() is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow block allocation failed. Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload, quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked. Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

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.

- Add real assertions to lockmgr locking primitives.

Really, this kind of check is bogus but it seems very widespread in the consumers code. So, for the moment, we cater this untrusted behaviour, until the consumers are not fixed and the options could be removed (hopefully during 8.0-CURRENT lifecycle) * Implementing KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD (not surported natively by WITNESS) made necessary the introduction of LA_MASKASSERT which specifies the range for default lock assertion flags * About other aspects, lockmgr_assert() follows exactly what other locking primitives offer about this operation. - Build real assertions for buffer cache locks on the top of lockmgr_assert(). They can be used with the BUF_ASSERT_*(bp) paradigm. - Add checks at lock destruction time and use a cookie for verifying lock integrity at any operation. - Redefine BUF_LOCKFREE() in order to not use a direct assert but let it rely on the aforementioned destruction time check. KPI results evidently broken, so __FreeBSD_version bumping and manpage update result necessary and will be committed soon. Side note: lockmgr_assert() will be used soon in order to implement real assertions in the vnode namespace replacing the legacy and still bogus "VOP_ISLOCKED()" way.

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 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>

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

Switch the vm_object mutex to be a rwlock. This will enable in the future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages are accessed for reading purposes. The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported: * The KPI changes as follow: - VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED() (in order to avoid visibility of implementation details) - The read-mode operations are added: VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED() * The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h. * zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris versions must be avoided. At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs. The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

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.

Switch the vm_object mutex to be a rwlock. This will enable in the future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages are accessed for reading purposes. The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported: * The KPI changes as follow: - VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED() (in order to avoid visibility of implementation details) - The read-mode operations are added: VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED() * The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h. * zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris versions must be avoided. At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs. The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

/*
Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested.

* Step 3, fixup the KVM pmap.
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 the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it.

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 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.

Hold a dev_t reference while the device is open. KASSERT that we do not enter the driver on a non-referenced dev_t. Remove old D_NAG code, anonymous dev_t's are not a problem now. When destroy_dev() is called on a referenced dev_t, move it to dead_cdevsw's list. When the refcount drops, free it. Check that cdevsw->d_version is correct. If not, set all methods to the dead_*() methods to prevent entrance into driver. Print warning on console to this effect. The device driver may still explode if it is also incompatible with newbus, but in that case we probably didn't get this far in the first place.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

Give struct bio it's own call back mechanism.

* 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>

* Finish I/O on a buffer, optionally calling a completion function.
* This is usually called from an interrupt so process blocking is
* not allowed.
*
* biodone is also responsible for setting B_CACHE in a B_VMIO bp.
* In a non-VMIO bp, B_CACHE will be set on the next getblk()
* assuming B_INVAL is clear.
*
* For the VMIO case, we set B_CACHE if the op was a read and no
* read error occured, or if the op was a write. B_CACHE is never
* set if the buffer is invalid or otherwise uncacheable.
*
* biodone does not mess with B_INVAL, allowing the I/O routine or the
* initiator to leave B_INVAL set to brelse the buffer out of existance
* in the biodone routine.

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.

This introduces a lock-order relationship with the softdep lock that can not otherwise be resolved. - Don't set B_DONE until bufdone() is complete, otherwise another processor may believe the buf is done before it is. - Only acquire Giant if the caller has set b_iodone.

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.

- Add real assertions to lockmgr locking primitives. A couple of notes for this: * WITNESS support, when enabled, is only used for shared locks in order to avoid problems with the "disowned" locks * KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD only exists in the lockmgr namespace in order to assert for a generic thread (not curthread) owning or not the lock. Really, this kind of check is bogus but it seems very widespread in the consumers code. So, for the moment, we cater this untrusted behaviour, until the consumers are not fixed and the options could be removed (hopefully during 8.0-CURRENT lifecycle) * Implementing KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD (not surported natively by WITNESS) made necessary the introduction of LA_MASKASSERT which specifies the range for default lock assertion flags * About other aspects, lockmgr_assert() follows exactly what other locking primitives offer about this operation. - Build real assertions for buffer cache locks on the top of lockmgr_assert(). They can be used with the BUF_ASSERT_*(bp) paradigm. - Add checks at lock destruction time and use a cookie for verifying lock integrity at any operation. - Redefine BUF_LOCKFREE() in order to not use a direct assert but let it rely on the aforementioned destruction time check. KPI results evidently broken, so __FreeBSD_version bumping and manpage update result necessary and will be committed soon. Side note: lockmgr_assert() will be used soon in order to implement real assertions in the vnode namespace replacing the legacy and still bogus "VOP_ISLOCKED()" way.

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.

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 the maxvmiobufspace variable and sysctl, they are no longer used. Also cleanup (remove) #if 0 sections from prior commits.

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!)

Switch the vm_object mutex to be a rwlock. This will enable in the future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages are accessed for reading purposes. The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported: * The KPI changes as follow: - VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED() (in order to avoid visibility of implementation details) - The read-mode operations are added: VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED() * The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h. * zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris versions must be avoided. At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs. The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!)

Suggested by: tegge Introduce a new version of vfs_page_set_valid() that does no more than what the function's name implies. Specifically, it does not update the page's dirty mask, and thus it does not require the page queues lock to be held.

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.

Switch the vm_object mutex to be a rwlock. This will enable in the future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages are accessed for reading purposes. The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported: * The KPI changes as follow: - VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED() (in order to avoid visibility of implementation details) - The read-mode operations are added: VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED() * The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h. * zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris versions must be avoided. At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs. The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.

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.

Move b_pblkno and b_iodone_chain to struct bio while we transition, they will be obsoleted once bio structs chain/stack. Add bio_queue field for struct bio aware disksort. Address a lot of stylistic issues brought up by bde.

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.

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 the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

/*
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.

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.

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.

Switch the vm_object mutex to be a rwlock. This will enable in the future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages are accessed for reading purposes. The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported: * The KPI changes as follow: - VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK() - VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED() (in order to avoid visibility of implementation details) - The read-mode operations are added: VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED() * The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h. * zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris versions must be avoided. At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs. The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit.

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>

Move B_ERROR flag to b_ioflags and call it BIO_ERROR. (Much of this done by script) Move B_ORDERED flag to b_ioflags and call it BIO_ORDERED. Move b_pblkno and b_iodone_chain to struct bio while we transition, they will be obsoleted once bio structs chain/stack. Add bio_queue field for struct bio aware disksort.

* such as BIO_ERROR or B_INVAL may be in an inconsistant state
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.

VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK(obj);
Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

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. 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.

Introduce a global lock for the vm subsystem (vm_mtx). vm_mtx does not recurse and is required for most low level vm operations. faults can not be taken without holding Giant. Memory subsystems can now call the base page allocators safely. Almost all atomic ops were removed as they are covered under the vm mutex. Alpha and ia64 now need to catch up to i386's trap handlers. FFS and NFS have been tested, other filesystems will need minor changes (grabbing the vm lock when twiddling page properties). Reviewed (partially) by: jake, jhb

1994-05-25 09:21:21 +00:00
Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

from = round_page(from);
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.

Convert all pmap_kenter/pmap_kremove pairs in MI code to use pmap_qenter/ pmap_qremove. pmap_kenter is not safe to use in MI code because it is not guaranteed to flush the mapping from the tlb on all cpus. If the process in question is preempted and migrates cpus between the call to pmap_kenter and pmap_kremove, the original cpu will be left with stale mappings in its tlb. This is currently not a problem for i386 because we do not use PG_G on SMP, and thus all mappings are flushed from the tlb on context switches, not just user mappings. This is not the case on all architectures, and if PG_G is to be used with SMP on i386 it will be a problem. This was committed by peter earlier as part of his fine grained tlb shootdown work for i386, which was backed out for other reasons. Reviewed by: peter

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.

vm_hold_free_pages(struct buf *bp, int newbsize)
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.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.
