freebsd with flexible iflib nic queues
f3215338ef
improve cancellation robustness. Introduce a new file operation, fo_aio_queue, which is responsible for queueing and completing an asynchronous I/O request for a given file. The AIO subystem now exports library of routines to manipulate AIO requests as well as the ability to run a handler function in the "default" pool of AIO daemons to service a request. A default implementation for file types which do not include an fo_aio_queue method queues requests to the "default" pool invoking the fo_read or fo_write methods as before. The AIO subsystem permits file types to install a private "cancel" routine when a request is queued to permit safe dequeueing and cleanup of cancelled requests. Sockets now use their own pool of AIO daemons and service per-socket requests in FIFO order. Socket requests will not block indefinitely permitting timely cancellation of all requests. Due to the now-tight coupling of the AIO subsystem with file types, the AIO subsystem is now a standard part of all kernels. The VFS_AIO kernel option and aio.ko module are gone. Many file types may block indefinitely in their fo_read or fo_write callbacks resulting in a hung AIO daemon. This can result in hung user processes (when processes attempt to cancel all outstanding requests during exit) or a hung system. To protect against this, AIO requests are only permitted for known "safe" files by default. AIO requests for all file types can be enabled by setting the new vfs.aio.enable_usafe sysctl to a non-zero value. The AIO tests have been updated to skip operations on unsafe file types if the sysctl is zero. Currently, AIO requests on sockets and raw disks are considered safe and are enabled by default. aio_mlock() is also enabled by default.

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. See build(7) and 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. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. 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 kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
