interrupts are masked, and EOI is sent iff the corresponding ISR bit
is set in the local apic. If the CPU cannot obtain the interrupt
service lock (currently the global kernel lock) the interrupt is
forwarded to the CPU holding that lock.
Clock interrupts now have higher priority than other slow interrupts.

than rolling it's own. This means that it now uses the "safe"
exec_map_first_page() to get the ld.so headers rather than risking a panic
on a page fault failure (eg: NFS server goes down).
Since all the ELF tools go to a lot of trouble to make sure everything
lives in the first page for executables, this is a win. I have not seen
any ELF executable on any system where all the headers didn't fit in the
first page with lots of room to spare.
I have been running variations of this code for some time on my pure ELF
systems.
a complement to all ops that return a vpp, VFS_VRELE. This is
initially only for file systems that implement the following ops
that do a WILLRELE:
vop_create, vop_whiteout, vop_mknod, vop_remove, vop_link,
vop_rename, vop_mkdir, vop_rmdir, vop_symlink
This is initial DNA that doesn't do anything yet. VFS_VRELE is
implemented but not called.
A default vfs_vrele was created for fs implementations that use the
standard vnode management routines.
VFS_VRELE implementations were made for the following file systems:
Standard (vfs_vrele)
ffs mfs nfs msdosfs devfs ext2fs
Custom
union umapfs
Just EOPNOTSUPP
fdesc procfs kernfs portal cd9660
These implementations may change as VOP changes are implemented.
In the next phase, in the vop implementations calls to vrele and the vrele
part of vput will be moved to the top layer vfs_vnops and made visible
to all layers. vput will be replaced by unlock in these cases. Unlocking
will still be done in the per fs layer but the refcount decrement will be
triggered at the top because it doesn't hurt to hold a vnode reference a
little longer. This will have minimal impact on the structure of the
existing code.
This will only be done for vnode arguments that are released by the various
fs vop implementations.
Wider use of VFS_VRELE will likely require restructuring of the code.

It does endeed work, but there is still some problems to solve.
I get a "nonrecovered data error" from time to time, but besides
this it has backed up several Gigs allready.
Please report any success/failure directly to me.
Thanks to Warner Losh for providing a drive to use in writing
this driver!
2) Do not unnecessarily force page blocking when paging
pages out.
3) Further improve swap pager performance and correctness,
including fixing the paging in progress deadlock (except
in severe I/O error conditions.)
4) Enable vfs_ioopt=1 as a default.
5) Fix and enable the page prezeroing in SMP mode.
All in all, SMP systems especially should show a significant
improvement in "snappyness."

because the TSC only interpolated in the HZ intervals, but now where
the timecounter is used all the way, this becomes much more visible.

- 'mv longnamedfile1 longnamedfile2' would cause longnamedfile2 to lose its
long name.
- Long names have trailing spaces/dots stripped for lookup as well as
assignment.
- A lockup when the mdsosfs was accessed from within the Linux emulator is fixed.
- A bug whereby long filenames were recognised by Microsoft operating systems but
not FreeBSD is fixed.

These diffs implement the first stage of a VOP_{GET|PUT}PAGES pushdown
for local media FS's.
See ffs_putpages in /sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_readwrite.c for implementation
details for generic *_{get|put}pages for local media FS's. Support
is trivial to add for any FS that formerly relied on the default
behaviour of the vnode_pager in in EOPNOTSUPP cases (just copy the
ffs_getpages() code for the FS in question's *_{get|put}pages).
Obviously, it would be better if each local media FS implemented a
more optimal method, instead of calling an exported interface from
the /sys/vm/vnode_pager.c, but this is a necessary first step in
getting the FS's to a point where they can be supplied with better
implementations on a case-by-case basis.
Obviously, the cd9660_putpages() can be rather trivial (since it
is a read-only FS type 8-)).
A slight (temporary) modification is made to print a diagnostic message
in the case where the underlying filesystem attempts to engage in the
previous behaviour. Failure is likely to be ungraceful.
