These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes.

The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache.

Replace vm_fault()'s heuristic for automatic cache behind with a heuristic that performs the equivalent of an automatic madvise(..., MADV_DONTNEED). The current heuristic, even with the improvements that I made a few years ago, is a good example of making the wrong trade-off, or optimizing for the infrequent case. The infrequent case being reading a single file that is much larger than memory using mmap(2). And, in this case, the page daemon isn't the bottleneck; it's the I/O. In all other cases, the current heuristic has too many false positives, i.e., it caches too many pages that are later reused. To give one example, thousands of pages are cached by the current heuristic during a buildworld and all of them are reactivated before the buildworld completes. In particular, clang reads source files using mmap(2) and there are some relatively large source files in our source tree, e.g., sqlite, that are read multiple times. With the new heuristic, I see fewer false positives and they have a much lower cost. I actually tried something like this more than two years ago and it didn't perform as well as the cache behind heuristic. However, that was before the changes to the page daemon in late summer of 2013 and the existence of pmap_advise(). In particular, with the page daemon doing its work more frequently and in smaller batches, it now completes its work while the application accessing the file is blocked on I/O. Whereas previously, the page daemon appeared to hog the CPU for so long that it caused "hiccups" in the application's execution. Finally, I'll add that the elimination of cache pages is a prerequisite for NUMA support. Reviewed by: jeff, kib Sponsored by: EMC / Isilon Storage Division

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct 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).

Fix the root cause of the "vm_reserv_populate: reserv <address> is already promoted" panics. The sequence of events that leads to a panic is rather long and circuitous. First, suppose that process P has a promoted superpage S within vm object O that it can write to. Then, suppose that P forks, which leads to S being write protected. Now, before P's child exits, suppose that P writes to another virtual page within O. Since the pages within O are copy on write, a shadow object for O is created to house the new physical copy of the faulted on virtual page. Then, before P can fault on S, P's child exists. Now, when P faults on S, it will follow the "optimized" path for copy-on-write faults in vm_fault(), wherein the underlying physical page is moved from O to its shadow object rather than allocating a new page and copying the new page's contents from the old page. Moreover, suppose that every 4 KB physical page making up S is moved to the shadow object in this way. However, the optimized path does not move the underlying superpage reservation, which is the root cause of the panics! Ultimately, P performs vm_object_collapse() on O's shadow object, which destroys O and in doing so breaks any reservations still belonging to O. This leaves the reservation underlying S in an inconsistent state: It's simultaneously not in use and promoted. Breaking a reservation does not demote it because I never intended for a promoted reservation to be broken. It makes little sense. Finally, this inconsistency leads to an assertion failure the next time that the reservation is used. The failing assertion does not (currently) exist in FreeBSD 10.x or earlier. There, we will quietly break the promoted reservation. While illogical and unintended, breaking the reservation is essentially harmless.

Revamp the default page clustering strategy that is used by the page fault handler. For roughly twenty years, the page fault handler has used the same basic strategy: Fetch a fixed number of non-resident pages both ahead and behind the virtual page that was faulted on. Over the years, alternative strategies have been implemented for optimizing the handling of random and sequential access patterns, but the only change to the default strategy has been to increase the number of pages read ahead to 7 and behind to 8. The problem with the default page clustering strategy becomes apparent when you look at how it behaves on the code section of an executable or shared library. (To simplify the following explanation, I'm going to ignore the read that is performed to obtain the header and assume that no pages are resident at the start of execution.) Suppose that we have a code section consisting of 32 pages. Further, suppose that we access pages 4, 28, and 16 in that order. Under the default page clustering strategy, we page fault three times and perform three I/O operations, because the first and second page faults only read a truncated cluster of 12 pages. In contrast, if we access pages 8, 24, and 16 in that order, we only fault twice and perform two I/O operations, because the first and second page faults read a full cluster of 16 pages. In general, truncated clusters are more common than full clusters. To address this problem, this revision changes the default page clustering strategy to align the start of the cluster to a page offset within the vm object that is a multiple of the cluster size. This results in many fewer truncated clusters. Returning to our example, if we now access pages 4, 28, and 16 in that order, the cluster that is read to satisfy the page fault on page 28 will now include page 16. So, the access to page 16 will no longer page fault and perform an I/O operation. Since the revised default page clustering strategy is typically reading more pages at a time, we are likely to read a few more pages that are never accessed. However, for the various programs that we looked at, including clang, emacs, firefox, and openjdk, the reduction in the number of page faults and I/O operations far outweighed the increase in the number of pages that are never accessed. Moreover, the extra resident pages allowed for many more superpage mappings. For example, if we look at the execution of clang during a buildworld, the number of (hard) page faults on the code section drops by 26%, the number of superpage mappings increases by about 29,000, but the number of never accessed pages only increases from 30.38% to 33.66%. Finally, this leads to a small but measureable reduction in execution time.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache.

VM level code cleanups. 1) Start using TSM. Struct procs continue to point to upages structure, after being freed. Struct vmspace continues to point to pte object and kva space for kstack. u_map is now superfluous. 2) vm_map's don't need to be reference counted. They always exist either in the kernel or in a vmspace. The vmspaces are managed by reference counts. 3) Remove the "wired" vm_map nonsense. 4) No need to keep a cache of kernel stack kva's. 5) Get rid of strange looking ++var, and change to var++. 6) Change more data structures to use our "zone" allocator. Added struct proc, struct vmspace and struct vnode. This saves a significant amount of kva space and physical memory. Additionally, this enables TSM for the zone managed memory. 7) Keep ioopt disabled for now. 8) Remove the now bogus "single use" map concept. 9) Use generation counts or id's for data structures residing in TSM, where it allows us to avoid unneeded restart overhead during traversals, where blocking might occur. 10) Account better for memory deficits, so the pageout daemon will be able to make enough memory available (experimental.) 11) Fix some vnode locking problems. (From Tor, I think.) 12) Add a check in ufs_lookup, to avoid lots of unneeded calls to bcmp. (experimental.) 13) Significantly shrink, cleanup, and make slightly faster the vm_fault.c code. Use generation counts, get rid of unneded collpase operations, and clean up the cluster code. 14) Make vm_zone more suitable for TSM. This commit is partially as a result of discussions and contributions from other people, including DG, Tor Egge, PHK, and probably others that I have forgotten to attribute (so let me know, if I forgot.) This is not the infamous, final cleanup of the vnode stuff, but a necessary step. Vnode mgmt should be correct, but things might still change, and there is still some missing stuff (like ioopt, and physical backing of non-merged cache files, debugging of layering concepts.)

Revamp the default page clustering strategy that is used by the page fault handler. For roughly twenty years, the page fault handler has used the same basic strategy: Fetch a fixed number of non-resident pages both ahead and behind the virtual page that was faulted on. Over the years, alternative strategies have been implemented for optimizing the handling of random and sequential access patterns, but the only change to the default strategy has been to increase the number of pages read ahead to 7 and behind to 8. The problem with the default page clustering strategy becomes apparent when you look at how it behaves on the code section of an executable or shared library. (To simplify the following explanation, I'm going to ignore the read that is performed to obtain the header and assume that no pages are resident at the start of execution.) Suppose that we have a code section consisting of 32 pages. Further, suppose that we access pages 4, 28, and 16 in that order. Under the default page clustering strategy, we page fault three times and perform three I/O operations, because the first and second page faults only read a truncated cluster of 12 pages. In contrast, if we access pages 8, 24, and 16 in that order, we only fault twice and perform two I/O operations, because the first and second page faults read a full cluster of 16 pages. In general, truncated clusters are more common than full clusters. To address this problem, this revision changes the default page clustering strategy to align the start of the cluster to a page offset within the vm object that is a multiple of the cluster size. This results in many fewer truncated clusters. Returning to our example, if we now access pages 4, 28, and 16 in that order, the cluster that is read to satisfy the page fault on page 28 will now include page 16. So, the access to page 16 will no longer page fault and perform an I/O operation. Since the revised default page clustering strategy is typically reading more pages at a time, we are likely to read a few more pages that are never accessed. However, for the various programs that we looked at, including clang, emacs, firefox, and openjdk, the reduction in the number of page faults and I/O operations far outweighed the increase in the number of pages that are never accessed. Moreover, the extra resident pages allowed for many more superpage mappings. For example, if we look at the execution of clang during a buildworld, the number of (hard) page faults on the code section drops by 26%, the number of superpage mappings increases by about 29,000, but the number of never accessed pages only increases from 30.38% to 33.66%. Finally, this leads to a small but measureable reduction in execution time.

Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages.

Revamp the default page clustering strategy that is used by the page fault handler. For roughly twenty years, the page fault handler has used the same basic strategy: Fetch a fixed number of non-resident pages both ahead and behind the virtual page that was faulted on. Over the years, alternative strategies have been implemented for optimizing the handling of random and sequential access patterns, but the only change to the default strategy has been to increase the number of pages read ahead to 7 and behind to 8. The problem with the default page clustering strategy becomes apparent when you look at how it behaves on the code section of an executable or shared library. (To simplify the following explanation, I'm going to ignore the read that is performed to obtain the header and assume that no pages are resident at the start of execution.) Suppose that we have a code section consisting of 32 pages. Further, suppose that we access pages 4, 28, and 16 in that order. Under the default page clustering strategy, we page fault three times and perform three I/O operations, because the first and second page faults only read a truncated cluster of 12 pages. In contrast, if we access pages 8, 24, and 16 in that order, we only fault twice and perform two I/O operations, because the first and second page faults read a full cluster of 16 pages. In general, truncated clusters are more common than full clusters. To address this problem, this revision changes the default page clustering strategy to align the start of the cluster to a page offset within the vm object that is a multiple of the cluster size. This results in many fewer truncated clusters. Returning to our example, if we now access pages 4, 28, and 16 in that order, the cluster that is read to satisfy the page fault on page 28 will now include page 16. So, the access to page 16 will no longer page fault and perform an I/O operation. Since the revised default page clustering strategy is typically reading more pages at a time, we are likely to read a few more pages that are never accessed. However, for the various programs that we looked at, including clang, emacs, firefox, and openjdk, the reduction in the number of page faults and I/O operations far outweighed the increase in the number of pages that are never accessed. Moreover, the extra resident pages allowed for many more superpage mappings. For example, if we look at the execution of clang during a buildworld, the number of (hard) page faults on the code section drops by 26%, the number of superpage mappings increases by about 29,000, but the number of never accessed pages only increases from 30.38% to 33.66%. Finally, this leads to a small but measureable reduction in execution time.

Replace vm_fault()'s heuristic for automatic cache behind with a heuristic that performs the equivalent of an automatic madvise(..., MADV_DONTNEED). The current heuristic, even with the improvements that I made a few years ago, is a good example of making the wrong trade-off, or optimizing for the infrequent case. The infrequent case being reading a single file that is much larger than memory using mmap(2). And, in this case, the page daemon isn't the bottleneck; it's the I/O. In all other cases, the current heuristic has too many false positives, i.e., it caches too many pages that are later reused. To give one example, thousands of pages are cached by the current heuristic during a buildworld and all of them are reactivated before the buildworld completes. In particular, clang reads source files using mmap(2) and there are some relatively large source files in our source tree, e.g., sqlite, that are read multiple times. With the new heuristic, I see fewer false positives and they have a much lower cost. I actually tried something like this more than two years ago and it didn't perform as well as the cache behind heuristic. However, that was before the changes to the page daemon in late summer of 2013 and the existence of pmap_advise(). In particular, with the page daemon doing its work more frequently and in smaller batches, it now completes its work while the application accessing the file is blocked on I/O. Whereas previously, the page daemon appeared to hog the CPU for so long that it caused "hiccups" in the application's execution. Finally, I'll add that the elimination of cache pages is a prerequisite for NUMA support. Reviewed by: jeff, kib Sponsored by: EMC / Isilon Storage Division

The VFS/BIO subsystem contained a number of hacks in order to optimize piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however, optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations, you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further optimization in these areas. The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid = VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE. getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now formally defined in comments and more straightforward in implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear, and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite() is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also set B_CACHE indirectly. There are a number of places in the code which were previously using buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about dealing with B_DONE. Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

This operation is necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE. getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now formally defined in comments and more straightforward in implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear, and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite() is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also set B_CACHE indirectly. There are a number of places in the code which were previously using buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about dealing with B_DONE. Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Revamp the default page clustering strategy that is used by the page fault handler. For roughly twenty years, the page fault handler has used the same basic strategy: Fetch a fixed number of non-resident pages both ahead and behind the virtual page that was faulted on. Over the years, alternative strategies have been implemented for optimizing the handling of random and sequential access patterns, but the only change to the default strategy has been to increase the number of pages read ahead to 7 and behind to 8. The problem with the default page clustering strategy becomes apparent when you look at how it behaves on the code section of an executable or shared library. (To simplify the following explanation, I'm going to ignore the read that is performed to obtain the header and assume that no pages are resident at the start of execution.) Suppose that we have a code section consisting of 32 pages. Further, suppose that we access pages 4, 28, and 16 in that order. Under the default page clustering strategy, we page fault three times and perform three I/O operations, because the first and second page faults only read a truncated cluster of 12 pages. In contrast, if we access pages 8, 24, and 16 in that order, we only fault twice and perform two I/O operations, because the first and second page faults read a full cluster of 16 pages. In general, truncated clusters are more common than full clusters. To address this problem, this revision changes the default page clustering strategy to align the start of the cluster to a page offset within the vm object that is a multiple of the cluster size. This results in many fewer truncated clusters. Returning to our example, if we now access pages 4, 28, and 16 in that order, the cluster that is read to satisfy the page fault on page 28 will now include page 16. So, the access to page 16 will no longer page fault and perform an I/O operation. Since the revised default page clustering strategy is typically reading more pages at a time, we are likely to read a few more pages that are never accessed. However, for the various programs that we looked at, including clang, emacs, firefox, and openjdk, the reduction in the number of page faults and I/O operations far outweighed the increase in the number of pages that are never accessed. Moreover, the extra resident pages allowed for many more superpage mappings. For example, if we look at the execution of clang during a buildworld, the number of (hard) page faults on the code section drops by 26%, the number of superpage mappings increases by about 29,000, but the number of never accessed pages only increases from 30.38% to 33.66%. Finally, this leads to a small but measureable reduction in execution time.

Replace vm_fault()'s heuristic for automatic cache behind with a heuristic that performs the equivalent of an automatic madvise(..., MADV_DONTNEED). The current heuristic, even with the improvements that I made a few years ago, is a good example of making the wrong trade-off, or optimizing for the infrequent case. The infrequent case being reading a single file that is much larger than memory using mmap(2). And, in this case, the page daemon isn't the bottleneck; it's the I/O. In all other cases, the current heuristic has too many false positives, i.e., it caches too many pages that are later reused. To give one example, thousands of pages are cached by the current heuristic during a buildworld and all of them are reactivated before the buildworld completes. In particular, clang reads source files using mmap(2) and there are some relatively large source files in our source tree, e.g., sqlite, that are read multiple times. With the new heuristic, I see fewer false positives and they have a much lower cost. I actually tried something like this more than two years ago and it didn't perform as well as the cache behind heuristic. However, that was before the changes to the page daemon in late summer of 2013 and the existence of pmap_advise(). In particular, with the page daemon doing its work more frequently and in smaller batches, it now completes its work while the application accessing the file is blocked on I/O. Whereas previously, the page daemon appeared to hog the CPU for so long that it caused "hiccups" in the application's execution. Finally, I'll add that the elimination of cache pages is a prerequisite for NUMA support. Reviewed by: jeff, kib Sponsored by: EMC / Isilon Storage Division

Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code.

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct 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).

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).

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages.

The VFS/BIO subsystem contained a number of hacks in order to optimize piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however, optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations, you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further optimization in these areas. The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid = VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE. getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now formally defined in comments and more straightforward in implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear, and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite() is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also set B_CACHE indirectly. There are a number of places in the code which were previously using buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about dealing with B_DONE. Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

Fix the root cause of the "vm_reserv_populate: reserv <address> is already promoted" panics. The sequence of events that leads to a panic is rather long and circuitous. First, suppose that process P has a promoted superpage S within vm object O that it can write to. Then, suppose that P forks, which leads to S being write protected. Now, before P's child exits, suppose that P writes to another virtual page within O. Since the pages within O are copy on write, a shadow object for O is created to house the new physical copy of the faulted on virtual page. Then, before P can fault on S, P's child exists. Now, when P faults on S, it will follow the "optimized" path for copy-on-write faults in vm_fault(), wherein the underlying physical page is moved from O to its shadow object rather than allocating a new page and copying the new page's contents from the old page. Moreover, suppose that every 4 KB physical page making up S is moved to the shadow object in this way. However, the optimized path does not move the underlying superpage reservation, which is the root cause of the panics! Ultimately, P performs vm_object_collapse() on O's shadow object, which destroys O and in doing so breaks any reservations still belonging to O. This leaves the reservation underlying S in an inconsistent state: It's simultaneously not in use and promoted. Breaking a reservation does not demote it because I never intended for a promoted reservation to be broken. It makes little sense. Finally, this inconsistency leads to an assertion failure the next time that the reservation is used. The failing assertion does not (currently) exist in FreeBSD 10.x or earlier. There, we will quietly break the promoted reservation. While illogical and unintended, breaking the reservation is essentially harmless.

The VFS/BIO subsystem contained a number of hacks in order to optimize piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however, optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations, you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further optimization in these areas. The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid = VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE. getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now formally defined in comments and more straightforward in implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear, and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE when a successful read completes.

/*
* Page must be completely valid or it is not fit to
The VFS/BIO subsystem contained a number of hacks in order to optimize piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however, optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations, you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further optimization in these areas. The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid = VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE. getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now formally defined in comments and more straightforward in implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear, and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite() is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also set B_CACHE indirectly. There are a number of places in the code which were previously using buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about dealing with B_DONE. Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made.

This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code.

Change the management of cached pages (PQ_CACHE) in two fundamental ways: (1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the object's lock or the page queues lock. This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon. Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache(). However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock. Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead, this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary splay tree and memq. (2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will succeed. Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9) specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache.
