NULL) for now. Bruce says I jumped the gun with my change in
revision 1.131, or maybe it should use nanotime(), or maybe it
shouldn't be decided in the VFS layer at all. I'm leaving it with
the old behavior until the Trans-Pacific Internet Vulcan Mind Meld
yields fuller understanding.

timestamps produced by write operations. Do likewise for lutimes()
and futimes().

have been maintained, and that is still the default. A new sysctl
variable "vfs.timestamp_precision" can be used to enable higher
levels of precision:
0 = seconds only; nanoseconds zeroed (default).
1 = seconds and nanoseconds, accurate within 1/HZ.
2 = seconds and nanoseconds, truncated to microseconds.
>=3 = seconds and nanoseconds, maximum precision.
Level 1 uses getnanotime(), which is fast but can be wrong by up
to 1/HZ. Level 2 uses microtime(). It might be desirable for
consistency with utimes() and friends, which take timeval structures
rather than timespecs. Level 3 uses nanotime() for the higest
precision.
I benchmarked levels 0, 1, and 3 by copying a 550 MB tree with
"cpio -pdu". There was almost negligible difference in the system
times -- much less than 1%, and less than the variation among
multiple runs at the same level. Bruce Evans dreamed up a torture
test involving 1-byte reads with intervening fstat() calls, but
the cpio test seems more realistic to me.
This feature is currently implemented only for the UFS (FFS and
MFS) filesystems. But I think it should be easy to support it in
the others as well.
An earlier version of this was reviewed by Bruce. He's not to

stuff: unregister_methods() is horribly broken. The idea, if I'm not mistaken,
is that the refcount on a method is decremented, and only when it reaches
zero is the method freed. However desc->method is set to NULL unconditionally
regardless of the refcount, which means the method pointer is trashed the
first time the method is deallocated. The obvious detrimental effect is
that memory is leaked. The not so obvious effect is that when you call
unregister_method() the second time on the same method, you get a NULL
pointer dereference and a panic.
Now I can successfully unload network device drivers and the miibus module
