over just the active vnodes associated with a mount point to replace MNT_VNODE_FOREACH_ALL in the vfs_msync, ffs_sync_lazy, and qsync routines. The vfs_msync routine is run every 30 seconds for every writably mounted filesystem. It ensures that any files mmap'ed from the filesystem with modified pages have those pages queued to be written back to the file from which they are mapped. The ffs_lazy_sync and qsync routines are run every 30 seconds for every writably mounted UFS/FFS filesystem. The ffs_lazy_sync routine ensures that any files that have been accessed in the previous 30 seconds have had their access times queued for updating in the filesystem. The qsync routine ensures that any files with modified quotas have those quotas queued to be written back to their associated quota file. In a system configured with 250,000 vnodes, less than 1000 are typically active at any point in time. Prior to this change all 250,000 vnodes would be locked and inspected twice every minute by the syncer. For UFS/FFS filesystems they would be locked and inspected six times every minute (twice by each of these three routines since each of these routines does its own pass over the vnodes associated with a mount point). With this change the syncer now locks and inspects only the tiny set of vnodes that are active. Reviewed by: kib Tested by: Peter Holm MFC after: 2 weeks
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.
