that instead of using direct I/O it allows read-ahead similar to
POSIX_FADV_NORMAL, but invokes VOP_ADVISE(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) after the
read(2) has completed to purge just-read data. The write(2) path continues
to use direct I/O for POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE for now. Note that NOREUSE works
optimally if an application reads and writes full fs blocks.
madvise(2) except that it operates on a file descriptor instead of a
memory region. It is currently only supported on regular files.
Just as with madvise(2), the advice given to posix_fadvise(2) can be
divided into two types. The first type provide hints about data access
patterns and are used in the file read and write routines to modify the
I/O flags passed down to VOP_READ() and VOP_WRITE(). These modes are
thus filesystem independent. Note that to ease implementation (and
since this API is only advisory anyway), only a single non-normal
range is allowed per file descriptor.
The second type of hints are used to hint to the OS that data will or
will not be used. These hints are implemented via a new VOP_ADVISE().
A default implementation is provided which does nothing for the WILLNEED
request and attempts to move any clean pages to the cache page queue for
the DONTNEED request. This latter case required two other changes.
First, a new V_CLEANONLY flag was added to vinvalbuf(). This requests
vinvalbuf() to only flush clean buffers for the vnode from the buffer
cache and to not remove any backing pages from the vnode. This is
used to ensure clean pages are not wired into the buffer cache before
attempting to move them to the cache page queue. The second change adds
a new vm_object_page_cache() method. This method is somewhat similar to
vm_object_page_remove() except that instead of freeing each page in the
specified range, it attempts to move clean pages to the cache queue if
possible.
To preserve the ABI of struct file, the f_cdevpriv pointer is now reused
in a union to point to the currently active advice region if one is
present for regular files.

- move should_yield() and maybe_yield() to kern_synch.c and move the

- add a slightly more generic kern_yield() that can replace the

- replace source uses of uio_yield() with the functional equivalent,
or in some cases do not change the thread priority when switching.
- fix a logic inversion bug in vlrureclaim(), pointed out by bde@.
- instead of using the per-cpu last switched ticks, use a per thread
variable for should_yield(). With PREEMPTION, the only reasonable
use of this is to determine if a lock has been held a long time and
relinquish it. Without PREEMPTION, this is essentially the same as
the per-cpu variable.
As currently st_blksize is always PAGE_SIZE, it is playing safe to not
use any smaller value. For some cases this might not be optimal, but
at least nothing should get broken.
Generally I don't expect this commit to change much for the following
reasons (in case of VREG, VDIR):
- application I/O and physical I/O are sufficiently decoupled by
filesystem code, buffer cache code, cluster and read-ahead logic
- not all applications use st_blksize as a hint, some use f_iosize, some
use fixed block sizes
I expect writes to the middle of files on ZFS to benefit the most from
this change.

A nice thing about POSIX 2008 is that it finally standardizes a way to
obtain file access/modification/change times in sub-second precision,
namely using struct timespec, which we already have for a very long
time. Unfortunately POSIX uses different names.
This commit adds compatibility macros, so existing code should still
build properly. Also change all source code in the kernel to work
without any of the compatibility macros. This makes it all a less
ambiguous.
I am also renaming st_birthtime to st_birthtim, even though it was a
local extension anyway. It seems Cygwin also has a st_birthtim.
According to POSIX open() must return ENOTDIR when the path name does
not refer to a path name. Change vn_open() to respect this flag. This
also simplifies the Linuxolator a bit.
- F_READAHEAD: specify the amount for sequential access. The amount is
specified in bytes and is rounded up to nearest block size.
- F_RDAHEAD: Darwin compatible version that use 128KB as the sequential
access size.
A third argument of zero disables the read-ahead behavior.
Please note that the read-ahead amount is also constrainted by sysctl
variable, vfs.read_max, which may need to be raised in order to better
utilize this feature.
Thanks Igor Sysoev for proposing the feature and submitting the original
version, and kib@ for his valuable comments.

filesystem supports additional operations using shared vnode locks.
Currently this is used to enable shared locks for open() and close() of
read-only file descriptors.
- When an ISOPEN namei() request is performed with LOCKSHARED, use a
shared vnode lock for the leaf vnode only if the mount point has the
extended shared flag set.
- Set LOCKSHARED in vn_open_cred() for requests that specify O_RDONLY but
not O_CREAT.
- Use a shared vnode lock around VOP_CLOSE() if the file was opened with
O_RDONLY and the mountpoint has the extended shared flag set.
- Adjust md(4) to upgrade the vnode lock on the vnode it gets back from
vn_open() since it now may only have a shared vnode lock.
- Don't enable shared vnode locks on FIFO vnodes in ZFS and UFS since
FIFO's require exclusive vnode locks for their open() and close()
routines. (My recent MPSAFE patches for UDF and cd9660 already included
this change.)
