KTRFAC_DROP in its process' p_traceflag field. The next trace event to
successfully post from that process will set the KTR_DROP flag in the

The KTR_DROP flag is the high bit in the type field of the ktr_header
structure. Older kdump binaries will simply complain about an unknown type
when seeing an entry with KTR_DROP set. Note that KTR_DROP being set on a

lock order tree using reparentchildren() to reparent direct descendants
of the departing witness to each of the witness' parents in the tree.
Next, it releases it's own child list and other associated resources.
Finally it calls rebalanacetree() to rebalance the lock order tree.

used popped into my head during my morning commute a few weeks ago, but
it is also very similar (though a bit simpler) to a patch that mini@
developed a while ago. Basically, each eventhandler list has a mutex and
a run count. During an eventhandler invocation, the mutex is held while
we traverse the list but is dropped while we execute actual handlers. Also,
a runcount counter is incremented at the start of an invocation and
decremented at the end of an invocation. Adding to the list is not a big
deal since the reference of a thread currently executing the handlers
remains valid across an add operation. Whether or not new handlers are
executed by threads currently executing the handlers for a given list is
indeterminate however. The harder case is when a handler is removed from
the list. If the runcount is zero, the handler is simply removed from the
list directly. If the runcount is not zero, then another thread is
currently executing the handlers of this list, so the priority of this
handler is set to a magic value (currently -1) to mark it as dead. Dead
handlers are not executed during an invocation. If the runcount is zero
after it is decremented at the end of an invocation, then a new
eventhandler_prune_list() function is called to remove dead handlers from
the list.
Additional minor notes:
- All the common parts of EVENTHANDLER_INVOKE() and
EVENTHANDLER_FAST_INVOKE() have been merged into a common
_EVENTHANDLER_INVOKE() macro to reduce duplication and ease maintenance.
- KTR logging for eventhandlers is now available via the KTR_EVH mask.

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 LK_NOWAIT to two cases where we're essentially asserting that the bufs
are not locked while acquiring the locks. This will make sure that we get
the appropriate panic() and not another one for sleeping with a lock held.

opposed to returning the top of the old chain when there was one and
the top of the newly allocated chain if there was no old chain.
Actually, it should be noted that prior to this fix, although the
comment above m_getm() advertised that m_getm() would return the
top of the old chain (if an old chain was being passed in) it
actually [wrongly] was returning the tail mbuf in the old chain
instead. This is a bug but since the one use of m_getm() in
the tree luckily did not depend on the behavior, it happened
to work out without notice.
Harti Brandt pointed out that the advertised behavior was actually
not the real behavior and so this change makes m_getm() ALWAYS
return the newly allocated chain (and fixes the comment). This
is less confusing and is the best course of action as then the
caller is always able to have both a reference to the top of
the original chain (because it's passing it in in the call) and
a reference to the newly attached chain. Although the API is
slightly modified, I don't think that any third-party code uses
m_getm() and if it does, it surely can't be working properly
because the old behavior was bogus.

- Use the ratio of kg_runtime / kg_slptime to determine our dynamic priority.
- Scale kg_runtime and kg_slptime back when the sum of the two exceeds
SCHED_SLP_RUN_MAX. This allows us to slowly forget old behavior.
- Scale back the runtime and slptime in fork so that the new process has the
same ratio but much less accumulated time. This causes new behavior to be
noticed more quickly.

- Replace spec_fsync, msdos_fsync, and hpfs_fsync with the stdfsync and some

statclock based on profhz when profiling is enabled MD, since most platforms
don't use this anyway. This removes the need for statclock_process, whose
only purpose was to subdivide profhz, and gets the profiling clock running
outside of sched_lock on platforms that implement suswintr.
Also changed the interface for starting and stopping the profiling clock to
do just that, instead of changing the rate of statclock, since they can now
be separate.

data structure called kse_upcall to manage UPCALL. All KSE binding
and loaning code are gone.
A thread owns an upcall can collect all completed syscall contexts in
its ksegrp, turn itself into UPCALL mode, and takes those contexts back
to userland. Any thread without upcall structure has to export their
contexts and exit at user boundary.
Any thread running in user mode owns an upcall structure, when it enters
kernel, if the kse mailbox's current thread pointer is not NULL, then
when the thread is blocked in kernel, a new UPCALL thread is created and
the upcall structure is transfered to the new UPCALL thread. if the kse
mailbox's current thread pointer is NULL, then when a thread is blocked
in kernel, no UPCALL thread will be created.
Each upcall always has an owner thread. Userland can remove an upcall by
calling kse_exit, when all upcalls in ksegrp are removed, the group is
atomatically shutdown. An upcall owner thread also exits when process is
in exiting state. when an owner thread exits, the upcall it owns is also
removed.
KSE is a pure scheduler entity. it represents a virtual cpu. when a thread
is running, it always has a KSE associated with it. scheduler is free to
assign a KSE to thread according thread priority, if thread priority is changed,
KSE can be moved from one thread to another.
When a ksegrp is created, there is always N KSEs created in the group. the
N is the number of physical cpu in the current system. This makes it is
possible that even an userland UTS is single CPU safe, threads in kernel still
can execute on different cpu in parallel. Userland calls kse_create to add more
upcall structures into ksegrp to increase concurrent in userland itself, kernel
is not restricted by number of upcalls userland provides.
The code hasn't been tested under SMP by author due to lack of hardware.
