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.
of explicit calls to lockmgr. Also provides macros for the flags
pased to specify shared, exclusive or release which map to the
lockmgr flags. This is so that the use of lockmgr can be easily
replaced with optimized reader-writer locks.
- Add some locking that I missed the first time.
Don't check for a null pointer if malloc called with M_WAITOK.

<sys/proc.h> to <sys/systm.h>.
Correctly document the #includes needed in the manpage.
Add one now needed #include of <sys/systm.h>.
Remove the consequent 48 unused #includes of <sys/proc.h>.
the offending inline function (BUF_KERNPROC) on it being #included
already.
I'm not sure BUF_KERNPROC() is even the right thing to do or in the
right place or implemented the right way (inline vs normal function).
Remove consequently unneeded #includes of <sys/proc.h>
file types to requiring all file types to properly implement fo_stat.
This makes any new file type additions much easier as this code no
longer has to be modified to accomodate it.
o Instead of using curproc in fdesc_allocvp, pass a `struct proc' pointer as
a new fifth parameter.
cheap to setup that it doesn't really matter that we recycle device
vnodes at kleenex speed.
Implement first cut try at killing cloned devices when they are
not needed anymore. For now only the bpf driver is involved in
this experiment. Cloned devices can set the SI_CHEAPCLONE flag
which allows us to destroy_dev() it when the vcount() drops to zero
and the vnode is reclaimed. For now it's a requirement that the
driver doesn't keep persistent state from close to (re)open.
Some whitespace changes.
-- don't depend on garbage in <sys/mount.h>. mbufs aren't actually
used here either. They should have been completely removed from filesystem
interfaces when they were removed from the interfaces to convert between
file handles and vnodes.
Add lockdestroy() and appropriate invocations, which corresponds to
lockinit() and must be called to clean up after a lockmgr lock is no
longer needed.
Replace shared lock on vnode with exclusive one. It shouldn't impact
perfomance as NCP protocol doesn't support outstanding requests.
Do not hold simple lock on vnode for long period of time.
Add functionality to the nwfs_print() routine.
Add correct support for v_object management, so mmap() operation should
work properly.
Add support for extattrctl() routine (submitted by semenu).
At this point nullfs can be considered as functional and much more stable.
In fact, it should behave as a "hard" "symlink" to underlying filesystem.
