One of the things I'm worried about however, is that directory offsets
are really cookies on a NFSv3 server and can be rather large, especially
when/if the server generates the opaque directory cookies by using a local
filesystem offset in what comes out as the upper 32 bits of the 64 bit
cookie. (a server is free to do this, it could save byte swapping
depending on the native 64 bit byte order)

existing mechanism uses a global queue for some buffers and the
vp->b_dirtyblkhd queue for others. This turns sequential writes into
randomly ordered writes to the server, affecting both read and write
performance. The existing mechanism also copes badly with hung
servers, tending to block accesses to other servers when all the iods
are waiting for a hung server.
The new mechanism uses a queue for each mount point. All asynchronous
i/o goes through this queue which preserves the ordering of requests.
A simple mechanism ensures that the iods are shared out fairly between
active mount points. This removes the sysctl variable vfs.nfs.dwrite
since the new queueing mechanism removes the old delayed write code
completely.
This should go into the 2.2 branch.
if a single process is performing a large number of requests (in this
case writing a large file). The writing process could monopolise the
recieve lock and prevent any other processes from recieving their
replies.
It also adds a new sysctl variable 'vfs.nfs.dwrite' which controls the
behaviour which originally pointed out the problem. When a process
writes to a file over NFS, it usually arranges for another process
(the 'iod') to perform the request. If no iods are available, then it
turns the write into a 'delayed write' which is later picked up by the
next iod to do a write request for that file. This can cause that
particular iod to do a disproportionate number of requests from a
single process which can harm performance on some NFS servers. The
alternative is to perform the write synchronously in the context of
the original writing process if no iod is avaiable for asynchronous
writing.
The 'delayed write' behaviour is selected when vfs.nfs.dwrite=1 and
the non-delayed behaviour is selected when vfs.nfs.dwrite=0. The
default is vfs.nfs.dwrite=1; if many people tell me that performance
is better if vfs.nfs.dwrite=0 then I will change the default.

The interface into the "VMIO" system has changed to be more consistant
and robust. Essentially, it is now no longer necessary to call vn_open
to get merged VM/Buffer cache operation, and exceptional conditions
such as merged operation of VBLK devices is simpler and more correct.
This code corrects a potentially large set of problems including the
problems with ktrace output and loaded systems, file create/deletes,
etc.
Most of the changes to NFS are cosmetic and name changes, eliminating
a layer of subroutine calls. The direct calls to vput/vrele have
been re-instituted for better cross platform compatibility.

unchanged and when the buffer was later cleaned, just a commit rpc was
made to the server to complete the previous write. Clearing
B_NEEDCOMMIT ensures that another write is made to the server.
2. If a server returned a server (for whatever reason) returned an

3. The setattr operation passed on the atime in stead of the mtime to

XID that had in the past been used before from that client. Patch is
to use the current time in seconds as a starting point for XIDs. The
patch below is not perfect, because it requires the root fs to be
mounted first. This is because of the check BSD systems do, comparing
FS time to system time.

pr_usrreq mechanism which was poorly designed and error-prone. This
commit renames pr_usrreq to pr_ousrreq so that old code which depended on it
would break in an obvious manner. This commit also implements the new
interface for TCP, although the old function is left as an example
(#ifdef'ed out). This commit ALSO fixes a longstanding bug in the
TCP timer processing (introduced by davidg on 1995/04/12) which caused
timer processing on a TCB to always stop after a single timer had
expired (because it misinterpreted the return value from tcp_usrreq()
to indicate that the TCB had been deleted). Finally, some code
related to polling has been deleted from if.c because it is not
relevant t -current and doesn't look at all like my current code.
Poul mentioned that he thought this was some kind of timing problem, and
that started me thinking. After a little poking around, I found that
nfs_timer() was completely disabled when NFS_NOSERVER was #defined.
But after looking at nfs_timer(), it seemed like it was something
required by both the client and server code, and disabling it outright
just didn't seem to make any sense. Parts of it relate only to the
NFS server side code, so I disabled those, but I re-enabled the rest
of the function and made sure that it would be called from nfs_init()
(in nfs_subs.c).
With nfs_timer() re-enabled, everything seems to work again. The only
other changes I made were to #ifdef away some variable declarations
in the NFS_NOSERVER case so that gcc would stop complaining about
unused variables.

proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!!
Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of
changes:
1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages,
haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now
provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take
struct vm_object's instead of "pagers".
2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant
confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a
pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has
escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is
used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager
structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were
unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union
was created in the object to contain these items.
3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now
be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(),
vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the
things that were removed.
4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the
SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism
that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code
was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The
locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward
making the code difficult to read and debug.
5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel
thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really
dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete
thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong.
We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance.
6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the
pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and
are now faster and easier to maintain.
7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and
now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after
the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein
algorithm and should provide better overall performance.
8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup
have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed.
9) Some almost useless debugging code removed.
10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out.
The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this
backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing
object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct
in the Mach terminology.
11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused
0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended.
12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition
of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code
for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides
the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something
other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it
allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made
dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do
this, of course).
13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy
object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non-
standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its
behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will
continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics
of MAP_PRIVATE.
14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a
threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13
were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain-
ability. (As were most all of these changes)
TODO:
1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing
this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size.
2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering
information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will
substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of
VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be
improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of
contiguousness.
3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage().
It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind.
4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps
via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk
striping of regular filesystems.
5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The
fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about
how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow
for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by
other pagers).
that call vnode_pager_alloc() so that a failure return can be dealt with.
This fixes a panic seen on NFS clients when a file being opened is deleted
on the server before the open completes.
2) Removed unnecessary vm_object_lookup()/pager_cache(object, TRUE) pairs
after vnode_pager_alloc() calls - the object is already guaranteed to be
persistent.
3) Removed some gratuitous casts.
