Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Since the case of an empty chain was already covered, it si very likely
that the existing entry is matching. Skipping readlocking saves on lock
upgrade.
It is used on each new entry addition to decide whether to whack an existing
negative entry in order to prevent a blow out in size, but the parameter was
set years ago and never revisited.
Building with poudriere results in about 400 evictions per second which
unnecessarily grab entries from the hot list.
With the new parameter there are next to no evictions of the sort.
Lookups of the sort are rare compared to regular ones and succesfull ones
result in removing entries from the cache.
In the current code buckets are rlocked and a trylock dance is performed,
which can fail and cause a restart. Fixing it will require a little bit
of surgery and in order to keep the code maintaineable the 2 cases have
to split.

namecache_ts differs from mere namecache by few fields placed mid struct.
The access to the last element (the name) is thus special-cased.
The standard solution is to put new fields at the very beginning anad
embedd the original struct. The pointer shuffled around points to the
embedded part. If needed, access to new fields can be gained through
__containerof.

All hash sizes are power-of-2, but the compiler does not know that for sure
and 'foo % size' forces doing a division.
Store the size - 1 and use 'foo & hash' instead which allows mere shift.
The size can be changed by side effect of modifying kern.maxvnodes.
Since numbucketlocks was not modified, setting a sufficiently low value
would give more locks than actual buckets, which would then lead to
corruption.
Force the number of buckets to be not smaller.
Note this should not matter for real world cases.

The negative list shrinker can demote an entry with only hotlist + neglist
locks held. On the other hand entry removal possibly sets the NCF_DVDROP
without aformentioned locks held prior to detaching it from the respective
netlist., which can lose the update made by the shrinker.

If no negative entry is found on the last list, the ncp pointer will be
left uninitialized and a non-null value will make the function assume an
entry was found.
Fix the problem by initializing to NULL on entry.

This splits the ncneg_mtx lock while preserving the hit ratio at least
during buildworld.
Create N dedicated lists for new negative entries.
Entries with at least one hit get promoted to the hot list, where they
get requeued every M hits.
Shrinking demotes one hot entry and performs a round-robin shrinking of
regular lists.

Other uses of cache_purgevfs() do rely on the cache purge for correct
operations, when paths are invalidated without unmount.
Reported and tested by: jkim
Discussed with: mjg
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation
purgevfs is purely optional and induces lock contention in workloads
which frequently mount and unmount filesystems.
In particular, poudriere will do this for filesystems with 4 vnodes or
less. Full cache scan is clearly wasteful.
Since there is no explicit counter for namecache entries, the number of
vnodes used by the target fs is checked.
The default limit is the number of bucket locks.

Add a table of vnode locks and use them along with bucketlocks to provide
concurrent modification support. The approach taken is to preserve the
current behaviour of the namecache and just lock all relevant parts before
any changes are made.
Lookups still require the relevant bucket to be locked.
Discussed with: kib
Tested by: pho
An array of bucket locks is added.
All modifications still require the global cache_lock to be held for
writing. However, most readers only need the relevant bucket lock and in
effect can run concurrently to the writer as long as they use a
different lock. See the added comment for more details.
This is an intermediate step towards removal of the global lock.

Since negative entries are managed with a LRU list, a hit requires a
modificaton.
Currently the code tries to upgrade the global lock if needed and is
forced to retry the lookup if it fails.
Provide a dedicated lock for use when the cache is only shared-locked.

the virtvnodes calculation. Include the size of fs-specific v_data as
the nfs nclnode inline, the NFS nclnode is bigger than either ZFS
znode or UFS inode. Include the size of namecache_ts and short cache
path element, multiplied by the name cache population factor, again
inline.
Inline defines are used to avoid pollution of the vnode.h with the
subsystem-private objects. Non-significant unsynchronized changes of
the definitions are fine, we do not care about that precision, and
e.g. ZFS consumes much malloced memory per vnode for reasons
unaccounted in the formula.
Lower the partition of kmem dedicated to vnodes, from 1/7 to 1/10.
The measures reduce vnode cache pressure on kmem and bring the vnode
cache memory use below some apparent thresholds that were exceeded by
r291244 due to more robust vnode reuse.

1. vhold and zap immediately instead of postponing few lines later
2. increment numneg after new entry is added
No functional changes.
No objections: kib
Previously the code would just increment statistics while only holding a
shared lock, in effect losing updates.
Separate tracking for nchstats is removed as values can be obtained from
existing counters. Note that some fields are updated by external
consumers and are left unfixed. This should not be a serious issue as
this structure looks quite obsolete.
No strong objections: kib
- Use SDT_PROBE<N>() instead of SDT_PROBE(). This has no functional effect
at the moment, but will be needed for some future changes.
- Don't hardcode the module component of the probe identifier. This is
set automatically by the SDT framework.

SDT_PROBE requires 5 parameters whereas SDT_PROBE<n> requires n parameters
where n is typically smaller than 5.
Perhaps SDT_PROBE should be made a private implementation detail.
