do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.

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.
