methodology similar to the vm_map_entry splay and the VM splay that Alan
Cox is working on. Extensive testing has appeared to have shown no
increase in overhead.
Disadvantages
Dirties more cache lines during lookups.
Not as fast as a hash table lookup (but still N log N and optimal
when there is locality of reference).
Advantages
vnode->v_dirtyblkhd is now perfectly sorted, making fsync/sync/filesystem
syncer operate more efficiently.
I get to rip out all the old hacks (some of which were mine) that tried
to keep the v_dirtyblkhd tailq sorted.
The per-vnode splay tree should be easier to lock / SMPng pushdown on
vnodes will be easier.
This commit along with another that Alan is working on for the VM page

server-side nfs commit rpcs, and implement partial syncs by the
filesystem syncer (aka filesystem syncer would detect that someone is
trying to get the vnode lock, remembers its place, and skip to the
next vnode).
Note that the buffer cache splay is somewhat more complex then other splays
due to special handling of background bitmap writes (multiple buffers with
the same lblkno in the same vnode), and B_INVAL discontinuities between the
old hash table and the existence of the buffer on the v_cleanblkhd list.

file mode (i.e not VNOVAL, and only ALLPERM bits set). However,
some NFS server op functions didn't guarantee this for all possible
request messages:
If a V3 client chose not include to a mode specification, we could
end up creating an ffs inode with mode 0177777, requiring a manual
fsck on the next reboot. Fix this by setting va_mode to 0 before
calling the VOP if a mode hasn't been supplied by the client.
In nfsrv_symlink(), S_IFMT bits supplied by a V2 client could end
up in the va_mode passed to VOP_SYMLINK with similar effects. We
now use the macro nfstov_mode() to correctly mask the bits.

The problem seems to originate with NFS's postop_attr

Within a vm_fault context, the code cannot deal with
vnode_pager_setsize() shrinking a vnode.
The workaround in the patch below stops the nfsm_postop_attr()
macro from ever shrinking a vnode. If the new size in the
postop_attr information is smaller, then it just sets the
nfsnode n_attrstamp to 0 to stop the wrong size getting
used in the future. This change only affects postop_attr
attributes; the nfsm_loadattr() macro works as normal.
The change is implemented by adding a new argument to
nfs_loadattrcache() called 'dontshrink'. When this is
non-zero, nfs_loadattrcache() will never reduce the
vnode/nfsnode size; instead it zeros n_attrstamp.

Update addaliasu to correctly implement the semantics of the old
checkalias function. When a device vnode first comes into existence,
check to see if an anonymous vnode for the same device was created
at boot time by bdevvp(). If so, adopt the bdevvp vnode rather than
creating a new vnode for the device. This corrects a problem which
caused the kernel to panic when taking a snapshot of the root
filesystem.
Change the calling convention of vn_write_suspend_wait() to be the
same as vn_start_write().
Split out softdep_flushworklist() from softdep_flushfiles() so that
it can be used to clear the work queue when suspending filesystem

Access to buffers becomes recursive so that snapshots can recursively
traverse their indirect blocks using ffs_copyonwrite() when checking
for the need for copy on write when flushing one of their own indirect
blocks. This eliminates a deadlock between the syncer daemon and a
process taking a snapshot.
Ensure that softdep_process_worklist() can never block because of a
snapshot being taken. This eliminates a problem with buffer starvation.
Cleanup change in ffs_sync() which did not synchronously wait when
MNT_WAIT was specified. The result was an unclean filesystem panic
when doing forcible unmount with heavy filesystem I/O in progress.
Return a zero'ed block when reading a block that was not in use at
the time that a snapshot was taken. Normally, these blocks should
never be read. However, the readahead code will occationally read
them which can cause unexpected behavior.
Clean up the debugging code that ensures that no blocks be written
on a filesystem while it is suspended. Snapshots must explicitly
label the blocks that they are writing during the suspension so that
they do not cause a `write on suspended filesystem' panic.
Reorganize ffs_copyonwrite() to eliminate a deadlock and also to
prevent a race condition that would permit the same block to be
copied twice. This change eliminates an unexpected soft updates
inconsistency in fsck caused by the double allocation.
Use bqrelse rather than brelse for buffers that will be needed

vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a filesystem,
allows any filesystem modifying system calls already in progress
to complete, then sync's the filesystem to disk and returns. The
function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to
begin again. Gating is not added by default for all filesystems as
for SMP systems it adds two extra locks to such critical kernel

blocks of zeros could wind up in a file written to over NFS by a client.
The problem only occurs a few times per several gigabytes of data. This
problem turned out to be bug #3 below.
bug #1:
B_CLUSTEROK must be cleared when an NFS buffer is reverted from
stage 2 (ready for commit rpc) to stage 1 (ready for write).
Reversions can occur when a dirty NFS buffer is redirtied with new
data.
Otherwise the VFS/BIO system may end up thinking that a stage 1
NFS buffer is clusterable. Stage 1 NFS buffers are not clusterable.
bug #2:
B_CLUSTEROK was inappropriately set for a 'short' NFS buffer (short
buffers only occur near the EOF of the file). Change to only set
when the buffer is a full biosize (usually 8K). This bug has no
effect but should be fixed in -current anyway. It need not be
backported.
bug #3:
B_NEEDCOMMIT was inappropriately set in nfs_flush() (which is
typically only called by the update daemon). nfs_flush()
does a multi-pass loop but due to the lack of vnode locking it
is possible for new buffers to be added to the dirtyblkhd list
while a flush operation is going on. This may result in nfs_flush()
setting B_NEEDCOMMIT on a buffer which has *NOT* yet gone through its
stage 1 write, causing only the commit rpc to be made and thus
causing the contents of the buffer to be thrown away (never sent to
the server).
The patch also contains some cleanup, which only applies to the commit
into -current.

error for a directory. I have made this change after a great deal of
review although I cannot be absolutely sure that this meets the spec.
The issue devolves into whether changes in an underlying (UFS) directory
can cause NFS directory blocks to be renumbered. My read of the code
indicates that NFS directory blocks will not be renumbered, which means
that the cookies should still remain valid after a change is made to
the underlying directory. This being the case, a cookie error should
not be returned when a change is made to the underlying directory and,
instead, the NFS client should rely on mtime detection to invalidate and
reload the directory.
The use of mtime is problematic in of itself, due to insufficient
resolution, which is why I believe the original conservative error
handling was done. Still, there have been dozens of bug reports by
people needing solaris<->FreeBSD interoperability and these have to

The core of the signalling code has been rewritten to operate
on the new sigset_t. No methodological changes have been made.
Most references to a sigset_t object are through macros (see
signalvar.h) to create a level of abstraction and to provide
a basis for further improvements.
The NSIG constant has not been changed to reflect the maximum
number of signals possible. The reason is that it breaks
programs (especially shells) which assume that all signals
have a non-null name in sys_signame. See src/bin/sh/trap.c
for an example. Instead _SIG_MAXSIG has been introduced to
hold the maximum signal possible with the new sigset_t.
struct sigprop has been moved from signalvar.h to kern_sig.c
because a) it is only used there, and b) access must be done
though function sigprop(). The latter because the table doesn't
holds properties for all signals, but only for the first NSIG
signals.
signal.h has been reorganized to make reading easier and to
add the new and/or modified structures. The "old" structures
are moved to signalvar.h to prevent namespace polution.
Especially the coda filesystem suffers from the change, because
it contained lines like (p->p_sigmask == SIGIO), which is easy
to do for integral types, but not for compound types.
NOTE: kdump (and port linux_kdump) must be recompiled.

allows more data into the mbuf chain that we really want. In the worst
case, when we're using 32K read/write sizes with a TCP client, this causes
readdirplus replies to sometimes exceed NFS_MAXPACKET which leads to a
panic. This problem cropped up for me using an IRIX 6.5.4 NFSv3 TCP client
with 32K read/write sizes, however supposedly it can be triggered by
WinNT NFS servers too. In theory, it can probably be triggered by any
NFS v3 implementation using TCP as long as it's using the maxiumum block

udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()
For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.
Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.
Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.
In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.
In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).
A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.
Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.
Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.
Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).
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.

This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)
If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!
Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.

However, there's no guarantee that in a multi-fragment RPC, all the
fragments will be at least as large as NFS_MINPACKET.
In fact, with the version of "tclnfs" we have here, which supports NFS
over TCP, at least when built under SunOS 4.1.3 (i.e., with 4.1.3's
user-mode ONC RPC library), I can *repeatably* cause "tclnfs" to send a

I just do a 3877-byte write to a file, at an offset of 0.
The check that "slp->ns_reclen" is greater than or equal to
NFS_MINPACKET serves no useful purpose - if the NFS server code can't
handle packets < NFS_MINPACKET bytes, it can't handle them over *any*
protocol, so the check has to be done above the RPC-over-TCP layer - and
should be removed.

existing mechanism uses a global queue for some buffers and the

randomly ordered writes to the server, affecting both read and write
performance. The existing mechanism also copes badly with hung
servers, tending to block accesses to other servers when all the iods
are waiting for a hung server.
The new mechanism uses a queue for each mount point. All asynchronous
i/o goes through this queue which preserves the ordering of requests.
A simple mechanism ensures that the iods are shared out fairly between
active mount points. This removes the sysctl variable vfs.nfs.dwrite

case writing a large file). The writing process could monopolise the
recieve lock and prevent any other processes from recieving their
replies.
It also adds a new sysctl variable 'vfs.nfs.dwrite' which controls the
behaviour which originally pointed out the problem. When a process
writes to a file over NFS, it usually arranges for another process
(the 'iod') to perform the request. If no iods are available, then it
turns the write into a 'delayed write' which is later picked up by the
next iod to do a write request for that file. This can cause that
particular iod to do a disproportionate number of requests from a
single process which can harm performance on some NFS servers. The
alternative is to perform the write synchronously in the context of
the original writing process if no iod is avaiable for asynchronous
writing.
The 'delayed write' behaviour is selected when vfs.nfs.dwrite=1 and
the non-delayed behaviour is selected when vfs.nfs.dwrite=0. The
default is vfs.nfs.dwrite=1; if many people tell me that performance
is better if vfs.nfs.dwrite=0 then I will change the default.
