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.
a complement to all ops that return a vpp, VFS_VRELE. This is
initially only for file systems that implement the following ops
that do a WILLRELE:
vop_create, vop_whiteout, vop_mknod, vop_remove, vop_link,
vop_rename, vop_mkdir, vop_rmdir, vop_symlink
This is initial DNA that doesn't do anything yet. VFS_VRELE is
implemented but not called.
A default vfs_vrele was created for fs implementations that use the
standard vnode management routines.
VFS_VRELE implementations were made for the following file systems:
Standard (vfs_vrele)
ffs mfs nfs msdosfs devfs ext2fs
Custom
union umapfs
Just EOPNOTSUPP
fdesc procfs kernfs portal cd9660
These implementations may change as VOP changes are implemented.
In the next phase, in the vop implementations calls to vrele and the vrele
part of vput will be moved to the top layer vfs_vnops and made visible
to all layers. vput will be replaced by unlock in these cases. Unlocking
will still be done in the per fs layer but the refcount decrement will be
triggered at the top because it doesn't hurt to hold a vnode reference a
little longer. This will have minimal impact on the structure of the
existing code.
This will only be done for vnode arguments that are released by the various
fs vop implementations.
Wider use of VFS_VRELE will likely require restructuring of the code.

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.

13) Significantly shrink, cleanup, and make slightly faster the vm_fault.c

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.)
- Set UN_ULOCK in union_lock() when UN_KLOCK is set. Caller expects
that vnode is locked correctly, and may call another function which
expects locked vnode and may unlock the vnode.
- Do not assume the behavior of inside functions in FreeBSD's
vfs_suber.c is same as 4.4BSD-Lite2. Vnode may be locked in
vget() even though flag is zero. (Locked vnode is, of course,
unlocked before returning from vget.)
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

POLLWRITE - file contents may have been modified
POLLNLINK - file was linked, unlinked, or renamed
POLLATTRIB - file's attributes may have been changed
POLLEXTEND - file was extended

Note that such reads are only possible if the fifo was opened in

2. SS_CANTSENDMORE was initially set on the wrong socket, but this
was harmless because the wrong socket is never sent from and there
is no need to set the flag initially on the right socket (since open
in (O_WRONLY | O_NONBLOCK) mode fails if there is no reader...).
3. SS_CANTRCVMORE was cleared when read() returns. This broke the
case where read() returns 0 - subsequent reads are supposed to
return 0 until a writer appears. There is no need to clear the

UN_KLOCK flag.
When UN_KLOCK is set, VOP_UNLOCK should keep uppervp locked and clear
UN_ULOCK flag. To do this, when UN_KLOCK is set, (1) union_unlock
clears UN_ULOCK and does not clear UN_KLOCK, (2) union_lock() does not
access uppervp and does not clear UN_KLOCK, and (3) callers of
vput/VOP_UNLOCK should clear UN_KLOCK. For example, vput becomes:
SETKLOCK(union_node);
vput(vnode);
CLEARKLOCK(union_node);
where SETKLOCK macro sets UN_KLOCK and CLEARKLOCK macro clears
UN_KLOCK.
Our vput calls vm_object_deallocate() --> vm_object_terminate(). The
vm_object_terminate() calls vn_lock(), since UN_LOCKED has been
already cleared in union_unlock(). Then, union_lock locks upper vnode
when UN_ULOCK is not set. The upper vnode is not unlocked when
UN_KLOCK is set in union_unlock(), thus, union_lock tries to lock
locked vnode and we get panic.

fix!
The ufs_link() assumes that vnode is not unlocked and tries to lock it
in certain case. Because union_link calls VOP_LINK after locking vnode,
vn_lock in ufs_link causes above panic.
Currently, I don't know the real fix for a locking violation in
union_link, but I think it is important to avoid panic.
A vnode is unlocked before calling VOP_LINK and is locked after it if
the vnode is not union fs. Even though panic went away, the process
that access the union fs in which link was made will hang-up.
Hang-up can be easily reproduced by following operation:
mount -t union a b
cd b
ln foo bar
ls
same directory pair.
If we do:
mount -t union a b
mount -t union a b
then, (1) namei tries to lock fs which has been already locked by
first union mount and (2) union_root() tries to lock locked fs. To
avoid first deadlock condition, unlock vnode if lowerrootvp is union
node, and to avoid second case, union_mount returns EDEADLK when multi
union mount is detected.
dolock is not set (that is, targetvp == overlaying vnode object).
Current code use FIXUP macro to do this, and never unlocks overlaying
vnode object in union_fsync. So, the vnode object will be locked
twice and never unlocked.

the 4.4Lite and Lite-2 releases, and does not need a merge. "C" generally
means that there was a change.

Ok bruce, this is the one you were seeing..
This is a really ugly bandaid on the problem, but it works well enough for
'ps -u' to start working again. The problem was caused by the user
address space shrinking by a little bit and the UPAGES being "cast off" to
become a seperate entity rather than being at the top of the process's
vmspace. That optimization was part of John's most recent VM speedups.
Now, rather than decoding the VM space, it merely ensures the pages are
in core and accesses them the same way the ptrace(PT_READ_U..) code does,
ie: off the p->p_addr pointer.
Implement a "variable" directory structure. Files that do not make
sense for the given process do not "appear" and cannot be opened.
For example, "system" processes do not have "file", "regs" or "fpregs",
because they do not have a user area.
"attempt" to fill in the user area of a given process when it is being
accessed via /proc/pid/mem (the user struct is just after
VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS in the process address space.)
Dont do IO to the U area while it's swapped, hold it in place if possible.
Lock off access to the "ctl" file if it's done a setuid like the other
pseudo-files in there.
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.
were development aids :-) and normal events.
Initialise the "hidden" blueprint mount "mnt_op" and "mnt_vfc" fields so
that a statfs() on a devfs file would not panic anymore. Fixes PR#911.
Head-scratching by: Julian and Peter
seems to work hre just fine though I can't check every file
that changed due to limmited h/w, however I've checked enught to be petty
happy withe hte code..
WARNING... struct lkm[mumble] has changed
so it might be an idea to recompile any lkm related programs
most devsw referenced functions are now static, as they are
in the same file as their devsw structure. I've also added DEVFS
support for nearly every device in the system, however
many of the devices have 'incorrect' names under DEVFS
because I couldn't quickly work out the correct naming conventions.
(but devfs won't be coming on line for a month or so anyhow so that doesn't
matter)
If you "OWN" a device which would normally have an entry in /dev
then search for the devfs_add_devsw() entries and munge to make them right..
check out similar devices to see what I might have done in them in you
can't see what's going on..
for a laugh compare conf.c conf.h defore and after... :)
I have not doen DEVFS entries for any DISKSLICE devices yet as that will be
a much more complicated job.. (pass 5 :)
pass 4 will be to make the devsw tables of type (cdevsw * )
rather than (cdevsw)
seems to work here..
complaints to the usual places.. :)
add a few safety checks in specfs because
now it's possible to get entries in [cd]devsw[] which are ALL NULL
so it's better to discover this BEFORE jumping into the d_open() entry..
more check to come later.. this getsthe code to the stage where I
can start testing it, even if I haven't caught every little error case...
I guess I'll find them quick enough..
That's EVERY SINGLE driver that has an entry in conf.c..
my next trick will be to define cdevsw[] and bdevsw[]
as empty arrays and remove all those DAMNED defines as well..
Each of these drivers has a SYSINIT linker set entry
that comes in very early.. and asks teh driver to add it's own
entry to the two devsw[] tables.
some slight reworking of the commits from yesterday (added the SYSINIT
stuff and some usually wrong but token DEVFS entries to all these
devices.
BTW does anyone know where the 'ata' entries in conf.c actually reside?
seems we don't actually have a 'ataopen() etc...
If you want to add a new device in conf.c
please make sure I know
so I can keep it up to date too..
as before, this is all dependent on #if defined(JREMOD)
(and #ifdef DEVFS in parts)
it 1138 times (:-() in casts and a few more times in declarations.
This change is null for the i386.
The type has to be `typedef int vop_t(void *)' and not `typedef
int vop_t()' because `gcc -Wstrict-prototypes' warns about the
latter. Since vnode op functions are called with args of different
(struct pointer) types, neither of these function types is any use
for type checking of the arg, so it would be preferable not to use
the complete function type, especially since using the complete
type requires adding 1138 casts to avoid compiler warnings and
another 40+ casts to reverse the function pointer conversions before
calling the functions.
Should anybody out there wonder about this vendetta against global
variables, it is basically to make it more visible what our interfaces
in the kernel really are.
I'm almost convinced we should have a
#define PUBLIC /* public interface */
and use it in the #includes...
