This gives a very large speedup for small block sizes (in my tests, about 5 times for write and 3 times for read with a block size of 512, if clustering is possible) and a moderate speedup for the moderatatly large block sizes that should be used on non-small media (4K is the best size in most cases, and the speedup for that is about 1.3 times for write and 1.2 times for read). mmap() should benefit from clustering like read()/write(), but the current implementation of vm only supports clustering (at least for getpages) if the fs block size is >= PAGE SIZE. msdosfs is now only slightly slower than ffs with soft updates for writing and slightly faster for reading when both use their best block sizes. Writing is slower for msdosfs because of more sync writes. Reading is faster for msdosfs because indirect blocks interfere with clustering in ffs. The changes in msdosfs_read() and msdosfs_write() are simpler merges of corresponding code in ffs (after fixing some style bugs in ffs). msdosfs_bmap() needs fs-specific code. This implementation loops calling a lower level bmap function to do the hard parts. This is a bit inefficient, but is efficient enough since msdsfs_bmap() is only called when there is physical i/o to do. Approved by: re (hrs)
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
