striping to a per device round-robin algorithm. Because of the policy of not attempting to retain previous swap allocation on page-out, this means that a newly added swap device almost instantly takes its 1/N share of the I/O load but it takes somewhat longer for it to assume it's 1/N share of the pages if there is plenty of space on the other devices. Change the 8G total swapspace limitation to 8G per device instead by using a per device blist rather than one global blist. This reduces the memory footprint by 75% (typically a couple hundred kilobytes) for the common case with one swapdevice but NSWAPDEV=4. Remove the compile time constant limit of number of swap devices, there is no limit now. Instead of a fixed size array, store the per swapdev structure in a TAILQ. Total swap space is still addressed by a 32 bit page number and therefore the upper limit is now 2^42 bytes = 16TB (for i386). We still do not allocate the first page of each device in order to give some amount of protection to any bsdlabel at the start of the device. A new device is appended after the existing devices in the swap space, no attempt is made to fill in holes left behind by swapoff (this can trivially be changed should it ever become a problem). The sysctl vm.nswapdev now reflects the number of currently configured swap devices. Rename vm_swap_size to swap_pager_avail for consistency with other exported names. Change argument type for vm_proc_swapin_all() and swap_pager_isswapped() to be a struct swdevt pointer rather than an index. Not changed: we are still using blists to manage the free space, but since the swapspace is no longer fragmented by the striping different resource managers might fare better.
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
