the "nbufkv" sleep. First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon. Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk() is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow block allocation failed. Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload, quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked. Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

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 ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. 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.
