of a file in chunks that are less then the filesystem block size, if the
data is not already cached the system will perform a read-before-write.
The problem is that it does this on a block-by-block basis, breaking up the
I/Os and making clustering impossible for the writes. Programs such
as INN using cyclic file buffers suffer greatly. This problem is only going
to get worse as we use larger and larger filesystem block sizes.
The solution is to extend the sequential heuristic so UFS[2] can perform
a far larger read and readahead when dealing with this case.

vp->v_vnlock. By default, getnewvnode sets up vp->v_vnlock to
reference vp->v_lock. Filesystems that wish to use the default
do not need to allocate a lock at the front of their node structure
(as some still did) or do a lockinit. They can simply start using
vn_lock/VOP_UNLOCK. Filesystems that wish to manage their own locks,
but still use the vop_stdlock functions (such as nullfs) can simply
replace vp->v_vnlock with a pointer to the lock that they wish to

setting the vp->v_vnlock back to the default in their vop_reclaim

- Change fo_read() and fo_write() to accept "active_cred" instead of

fo_write() to pass the active credential of the thread requesting
an operation rather than the cached file cred. The cached file

via fp->f_cred. These changes largely in sys_generic.c.

Modify vn_rdwr() to accept two credential arguments instead of a
single credential: active_cred and file_cred. Use active_cred
for MAC authorization, and select a credential for use in
VOP_READ/WRITE() based on whether file_cred is NULL or not. If
file_cred is provided, authorize the VOP using that cred,
otherwise the active credential, matching current semantics.
Modify current vn_rdwr() consumers to pass a file_cred if used
in the context of a struct file, and to always pass active_cred.
When vn_rdwr() is used without a file_cred, pass NOCRED.
These changes should maintain current semantics for read/write,

it more clear what the origin of each credential is in file

Instrument UFS to support per-inode MAC labels. In particular,
invoke MAC framework entry points for generically supporting the
backing of MAC labels into extended attributes. This ends up
introducing new vnode operation vector entries point at the MAC
framework entry points, as well as some explicit entry point
invocations for file and directory creation events so that the
MAC framework can push labels to disk before the directory names
become persistent (this will work better once EAs in UFS2 are
hooked into soft updates). The generic EA MAC entry points
support executing with the file system in either single label
or multilabel operation, and will fall back to the mount label
if multilabel is not specified at mount-time.

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.

out of inodes in a cylinder group would fail to check for
free inodes in other cylinder groups. This bug was introduced
in the UFS2 code merge two days ago.
An inode is allocated by calling ffs_valloc which calls
ffs_hashalloc to do the filesystem scan. Ffs_hashalloc
walks around the cylinder groups calling its passed allocator
(ffs_nodealloccg in this case) until the allocator returns a
non-zero result. The bug is that ffs_hashalloc expects the
passed allocator function to return a 64-bit ufs2_daddr_t.
When allocating inodes, it calls ffs_nodealloccg which was
returning a 32-bit ino_t. The ffs_hashalloc code checked
a 64-bit return value and usually found random non-zero bits in
the high 32-bits so decided that the allocation had succeeded
(in this case in the only cylinder group that it checked).
When the result was passed back to ffs_valloc it looked at
only the bottom 32-bits, saw zero and declared the system
out of inodes. But ffs_hashalloc had really only checked
one cylinder group.
The fix is to change ffs_nodealloccg to return 64-bit results.

Unfortunately 1.72 also had the unintended effect of forcing the filesystem

destroys performance.. not only is a read forced for every write, but
clustering breaks as well.
The solution is to clear the buffer manually in the full-block case rather
then asking BALLOC to do it (BALLOC issues the read-before-write). In the

directory blocks when the free space dropped below the size of the
maximum allowed entry size. When this happened, the free-space
summary information could claim that there are no further blocks
that can fit a maximum-size entry, even if there are.
The effect of this bug is that the directory may be enlarged even
though there is space within the directory for the new entry. This
wastes disk space and has a negative impact on performance.
Fix it by correctly computing the dh_firstfree array index, adding

This delta also fixes a long standing bug in which a file open for
reading has been unlinked. When the last open reference to the file
is closed, the inode is reclaimed by the filesystem. Previously,
if the filesystem had been down-graded to read-only, the inode could
not be reclaimed, and thus was lost and had to be later recovered
by fsck. With this change, such files are found at the time of the
down-grade. Normally they will result in the filesystem down-grade
failing with `device busy'. If a forcible down-grade is done, then
the affected files will be revoked causing the inode to be released
and the open file descriptors to begin failing on attempts to read.

The bitmap scanning is broken into two passes. Before suspending

those bitmaps that changed after being scanned the first time

The problem arises when the last reference to an FFS file is
released because soft-updates may delay the actual freeing of the
inode for some time. Since there are no filesystem links or open
file descriptors referencing the inode, from the point of view of

is NFS exported, then the remote client can still access the inode
via ufs_fhtovp() until the inode really goes away. To prevent this
anomoly, it is necessary to begin returning ESTALE at the same time

of free space. Note that this change does not solve the much harder
problem of making this to-be-freed space available to applications
that want it (thus on a nearly full filesystem, you may still
encounter out-of-space conditions even though the free space will
show up eventually). Hopefully this harder problem will be the
subject of a future enhancement.
1) Do not assume that the superblock will be of size fs->fs_bsize.
This fixes a panic when taking a snapshot on a filesystem with
a block size bigger than 8K.
2) Properly calculate the number of fragments that follow the
superblock summary information. This fixes a bug with inconsistent
snapshots.
3) When cleaning up a snapshot that is about to be removed, properly
calculate the number of blocks that need to be checked. This fixes
a bug that created partially allocated inodes.
4) When moving blocks from a snapshot that is about to be removed
to another snapshot, properly account for the reduced number of
blocks in the snapshot from which they are taken. This fixes a
bug in which the number of blocks released from a snapshot did not
match the number that it claimed to have.

information to the inode from the ACL during ACL update. Also
modify the masking of permission bits that may be set from
ALLPERMS to (S_IRWXU|S_IRWXG|S_IRWXO), as ACLs currently do not
carry none-ACCESSPERMS (S_ISUID, S_ISGID, S_ISTXT).
o Modify ufs_getacl() so that when it emulates an access ACL from
the inode, it initializes the ae_id fields to ACL_UNDEFINED_ID.
o Clean up ufs_setacl() substantially since it is no longer possible
to perform chown/chgrp operations using vop_setacl(), so all the
access control for that can be eliminated.
o Modify ufs_access() so that it passes owner uid and gid information
into vaccess_acl_posix1e().

------
One day I noticed that some file operations run much faster on
small file systems then on big ones. I've looked at the ffs
algorithms, thought about them, and redesigned the dirpref algorithm.
First I want to describe the results of my tests. These results are old
and I have improved the algorithm after these tests were done. Nevertheless
they show how big the perfomance speedup may be. I have done two file/directory
intensive tests on a two OpenBSD systems with old and new dirpref algorithm.
The first test is "tar -xzf ports.tar.gz", the second is "rm -rf ports".
The ports.tar.gz file is the ports collection from the OpenBSD 2.8 release.
It contains 6596 directories and 13868 files. The test systems are:
1. Celeron-450, 128Mb, two IDE drives, the system at wd0, file system for
test is at wd1. Size of test file system is 8 Gb, number of cg=991,
size of cg is 8m, block size = 8k, fragment size = 1k OpenBSD-current
from Dec 2000 with BUFCACHEPERCENT=35
2. PIII-600, 128Mb, two IBM DTLA-307045 IDE drives at i815e, the system
at wd0, file system for test is at wd1. Size of test file system is 40 Gb,
number of cg=5324, size of cg is 8m, block size = 8k, fragment size = 1k

Algorithm description
The old dirpref algorithm is described in comments:
/*
* Find a cylinder to place a directory.
*
* The policy implemented by this algorithm is to select from
* among those cylinder groups with above the average number of
* free inodes, the one with the smallest number of directories.
*/
A new directory is allocated in a different cylinder groups than its
parent directory resulting in a directory tree that is spreaded across
all the cylinder groups. This spreading out results in a non-optimal
access to the directories and files. When we have a small filesystem
it is not a problem but when the filesystem is big then perfomance
degradation becomes very apparent.
What I mean by a big file system ?
1. A big filesystem is a filesystem which occupy 20-30 or more percent
of total drive space, i.e. first and last cylinder are physically
located relatively far from each other.
2. It has a relatively large number of cylinder groups, for example
more cylinder groups than 50% of the buffers in the buffer cache.
The first results in long access times, while the second results in
many buffers being used by metadata operations. Such operations use
cylinder group blocks and on-disk inode blocks. The cylinder group
block (fs->fs_cblkno) contains struct cg, inode and block bit maps.
It is 2k in size for the default filesystem parameters. If new and
parent directories are located in different cylinder groups then the
system performs more input/output operations and uses more buffers.
On filesystems with many cylinder groups, lots of cache buffers are
used for metadata operations.
My solution for this problem is very simple. I allocate many directories
in one cylinder group. I also do some things, so that the new allocation
method does not cause excessive fragmentation and all directory inodes
will not be located at a location far from its file's inodes and data.
The algorithm is:
/*
* Find a cylinder group to place a directory.
*
* The policy implemented by this algorithm is to allocate a
* directory inode in the same cylinder group as its parent
* directory, but also to reserve space for its files inodes
* and data. Restrict the number of directories which may be
* allocated one after another in the same cylinder group
* without intervening allocation of files.
*
* If we allocate a first level directory then force allocation
* in another cylinder group.
*/
My early versions of dirpref give me a good results for a wide range of
file operations and different filesystem capacities except one case:
those applications that create their entire directory structure first
and only later fill this structure with files.
My solution for such and similar cases is to limit a number of
directories which may be created one after another in the same cylinder
group without intervening file creations. For this purpose, I allocate
an array of counters at mount time. This array is linked to the superblock
fs->fs_contigdirs[cg]. Each time a directory is created the counter
increases and each time a file is created the counter decreases. A 60Gb
filesystem with 8mb/cg requires 10kb of memory for the counters array.
The maxcontigdirs is a maximum number of directories which may be created
without an intervening file creation. I found in my tests that the best
performance occurs when I restrict the number of directories in one cylinder
group such that all its files may be located in the same cylinder group.
There may be some deterioration in performance if all the file inodes
are in the same cylinder group as its containing directory, but their
data partially resides in a different cylinder group. The maxcontigdirs
value is calculated to try to prevent this condition. Since there is
no way to know how many files and directories will be allocated later
I added two optimization parameters in superblock/tunefs. They are:
int32_t fs_avgfilesize; /* expected average file size */
int32_t fs_avgfpdir; /* expected # of files per directory */
These parameters have reasonable defaults but may be tweeked for special
uses of a filesystem. They are only necessary in rare cases like better
tuning a filesystem being used to store a squid cache.
I have been using this algorithm for about 3 months. I have done
a lot of testing on filesystems with different capacities, average
filesize, average number of files per directory, and so on. I think
this algorithm has no negative impact on filesystem perfomance. It
works better than the default one in all cases. The new dirpref
will greatly improve untarring/removing/coping of big directories,
decrease load on cvs servers and much more. The new dirpref doesn't
speedup a compilation process, but also doesn't slow it down.
