the work is silly, and all this will be a moot point with Justin's CAM
driver, and there are still many ioctls missing -- but i need these
right now. It's silly to need to move the CD-R back to the other
drive in order to determine the session start info when burning multi-
session CD-Rs.
. It makes cd9660 root f/s working again.
. It makes CD9660 a new-style option.
. It adds support to mount an ISO9660 multi-session CD-ROM as the root
filesystem (the last session actually, but that's what is expected
behaviour).
Sigh. The CDIOREADTOCENTRYS did a copyout() of its own, and thus has
been unusable for me for this work. Too bad it didn't simply stuff
the max 100 entries into the struct ioc_read_toc_entry, but relied on
a user supplied data buffer instead. :-( I now had to reinvent the
wheel, and created a CDIOREADTOCENTRY ioctl command that can be used
in a kernel context.
While doing this, i noticed the following bogosities in existing CD-ROM
drivers:
wcd: This driver is likely to be totally bogus when someone tries
two succeeding CDIOREADTOCENTRYS (or now CDIOREADTOCENTRY)
commands with requesting MSF format, since it apparently
operates on an internal table.
scd: This driver apparently returns just a single TOC entry only for
the CDIOREADTOCENTRYS command.
I have only been able to test the CDIOREADTOCENTRY command with the
cd(4) driver. I hereby request the respective maintainers of the
other CD-ROM drivers to verify my code for their driver. When it
comes to merging this CD-ROM multisession stuff into RELENG_2_2 i will
only consider drivers where i've got a confirmation that it actually
works.
simplifies some assumptions and stops some code compile problems.
This should fix the compile hiccup in PR#3491, but smp kernel profiling
isn't likely to be fixed by this.
".." vnode. This is cheaper storagewise than keeping it in the
namecache, and it makes more sense since it's a 1:1 mapping.
2. Also handle the case of "." more intelligently rather than stuff
the namecache with pointless entries.
3. Add two lists to the vnode and hang namecache entries which go from
or to this vnode. When cleaning a vnode, delete all namecache
entries it invalidates.
4. Never reuse namecache enties, malloc new ones when we need it, free
old ones when they die. No longer a hard limit on how many we can
have.
5. Remove the upper limit on namelength of namecache entries.
6. Make a global list for negative namecache entries, limit their number
to a sysctl'able (debug.ncnegfactor) fraction of the total namecache.
Currently the default fraction is 1/16th. (Suggestions for better
default wanted!)
7. Assign v_id correctly in the face of 32bit rollover.
8. Remove the LRU list for namecache entries, not needed. Remove the
#ifdef NCH_STATISTICS stuff, it's not needed either.
9. Use the vnode freelist as a true LRU list, also for namecache accesses.
10. Reuse vnodes more aggresively but also more selectively, if we can't
reuse, malloc a new one. There is no longer a hard limit on their
number, they grow to the point where we don't reuse potentially
usable vnodes. A vnode will not get recycled if still has pages in
core or if it is the source of namecache entries (Yes, this does
indeed work :-) "." and ".." are not namecache entries any longer...)
11. Do not overload the v_id field in namecache entries with whiteout
information, use a char sized flags field instead, so we can get
rid of the vpid and v_id fields from the namecache struct. Since
we're linked to the vnodes and purged when they're cleaned, we don't
have to check the v_id any more.
12. NFS knew about the limitation on name length in the namecache, it
shouldn't and doesn't now.
Bugs:
The namecache statistics no longer includes the hits for ".."
and "." hits.
Performance impact:
Generally in the +/- 0.5% for "normal" workstations, but
I hope this will allow the system to be selftuning over a
bigger range of "special" applications. The case where
RAM is available but unused for cache because we don't have
any vnodes should be gone.
Future work:
Straighten out the namecache statistics.
"desiredvnodes" is still used to (bogusly ?) size hash
tables in the filesystems.
I have still to find a way to safely free unused vnodes
back so their number can shrink when not needed.
There is a few uses of the v_id field left in the filesystems,
scheduled for demolition at a later time.
Maybe a one slot cache for unused namecache entries should
be implemented to decrease the malloc/free frequency.
in savedvp variable and it is used for the argument of
MOUNTTOUNIONMOUNT(). I didn't realize ap->a_vp is modified before
MOUNTTOUNIONMOUNT(), so the change by revision 1.22 is incorrect.
- one-liners all become inline.
- multi-liners become functions.
- FAST_IPI defines go away.
re-worked APICIPI_BANDAID code.
- now refered to as DETECT_DEADLOCK.
- on by default.
the pageout daemon wasn't always being waken up appropriately when the
(cache + free) queues were depleted.

but now that we've widened the scope of the smp work to -current, it might
be an idea to warn new people that might not have read all the docs yet
that the SMP support needs to be activated via a sysctl.
