* Well, it seems that I pre-maturely removed the "All rights reserved"bmilekic2005-02-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | statement from some files, so re-add it for the moment, until the related legalese is sorted out. This change affects: sys/kern/kern_mbuf.c sys/vm/memguard.c sys/vm/memguard.h sys/vm/uma.h sys/vm/uma_core.c sys/vm/uma_dbg.c sys/vm/uma_dbg.h sys/vm/uma_int.h
* Optimize the way reference counting is performed with Mbufs. Webmilekic2005-02-101-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | do not need to perform an extra memory fetch in the Packet (Mbuf+Cluster) constructor to initialize the reference counter anymore. The reference counts are located in a separate memory region (in the slab header, because this zone is UMA_ZONE_REFCNT), so the memory fetch resulted very often in a cache miss. Additionally, and perhaps more significantly, optimize the free mbuf+cluster (packet) case, which is very common, to no longer require an atomic operation on free (to verify the reference counter) if the reference on the cluster has never been increased (also very common). Reduces an atomic on mbuf free on average. Original patch submitted by: Gerrit Nagelhout <gnagelhout@sandvine.com>
* Update copyright, remove "all rights reserved" (since they are notbmilekic2005-02-011-5/+1
| | | | | | all reserved, as the lisence makes clear), and strike the third clause (now this is a 2-clause liberal BSDL as are the rest of files I hold copyright over).
* CTASSERT that MSZIE is a power of 2 (otherwise dtom() breaks)brian2004-09-201-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | Ask uma_zcreate() to align mbufs to MSIZE bytes (otherwise dtom() breaks) As it happens, uma_zalloc_arg() always returned mbufs aligned to MSIZE anyway, but that was an implementation side-effect.... KASSERT -> CTASSERT suggested by: dd@ Approved by: silence on -net
* * Add a "how" argument to uma_zone constructors and initialization functionsgreen2004-08-021-35/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | so that they know whether the allocation is supposed to be able to sleep or not. * Allow uma_zone constructors and initialation functions to return either success or error. Almost all of the ones in the tree currently return success unconditionally, but mbuf is a notable exception: the packet zone constructor wants to be able to fail if it cannot suballocate an mbuf cluster, and the mbuf allocators want to be able to fail in general in a MAC kernel if the MAC mbuf initializer fails. This fixes the panics people are seeing when they run out of memory for mbuf clusters. * Allow debug.nosleepwithlocks on WITNESS to be disabled, without changing the default. Both bmilekic and jeff have reviewed the changes made to make failable zone allocations work.
* Fix a couple of bugs in the mbuf and packet ctors. In the latter case,bmilekic2004-06-011-5/+3
| | | | | | nextpkt within the m_hdr was not being initialized to NULL for !M_PKTHDR cases. *Maybe* this will fix weird socket buffer inconsistency panics, but we'll see.
* Bring in mbuma to replace mballoc.bmilekic2004-05-311-0/+385
mbuma is an Mbuf & Cluster allocator built on top of a number of extensions to the UMA framework, all included herein. Extensions to UMA worth noting: - Better layering between slab <-> zone caches; introduce Keg structure which splits off slab cache away from the zone structure and allows multiple zones to be stacked on top of a single Keg (single type of slab cache); perhaps we should look into defining a subset API on top of the Keg for special use by malloc(9), for example. - UMA_ZONE_REFCNT zones can now be added, and reference counters automagically allocated for them within the end of the associated slab structures. uma_find_refcnt() does a kextract to fetch the slab struct reference from the underlying page, and lookup the corresponding refcnt. mbuma things worth noting: - integrates mbuf & cluster allocations with extended UMA and provides caches for commonly-allocated items; defines several zones (two primary, one secondary) and two kegs. - change up certain code paths that always used to do: m_get() + m_clget() to instead just use m_getcl() and try to take advantage of the newly defined secondary Packet zone. - netstat(1) and systat(1) quickly hacked up to do basic stat reporting but additional stats work needs to be done once some other details within UMA have been taken care of and it becomes clearer to how stats will work within the modified framework. From the user perspective, one implication is that the NMBCLUSTERS compile-time option is no longer used. The maximum number of clusters is still capped off according to maxusers, but it can be made unlimited by setting the kern.ipc.nmbclusters boot-time tunable to zero. Work should be done to write an appropriate sysctl handler allowing dynamic tuning of kern.ipc.nmbclusters at runtime. Additional things worth noting/known issues (READ): - One report of 'ips' (ServeRAID) driver acting really slow in conjunction with mbuma. Need more data. Latest report is that ips is equally sucking with and without mbuma. - Giant leak in NFS code sometimes occurs, can't reproduce but currently analyzing; brueffer is able to reproduce but THIS IS NOT an mbuma-specific problem and currently occurs even WITHOUT mbuma. - Issues in network locking: there is at least one code path in the rip code where one or more locks are acquired and we end up in m_prepend() with M_WAITOK, which causes WITNESS to whine from within UMA. Current temporary solution: force all UMA allocations to be M_NOWAIT from within UMA for now to avoid deadlocks unless WITNESS is defined and we can determine with certainty that we're not holding any locks when we're M_WAITOK. - I've seen at least one weird socketbuffer empty-but- mbuf-still-attached panic. I don't believe this to be related to mbuma but please keep your eyes open, turn on debugging, and capture crash dumps. This change removes more code than it adds. A paper is available detailing the change and considering various performance issues, it was presented at BSDCan2004: http://www.unixdaemons.com/~bmilekic/netbuf_bmilekic.pdf Please read the paper for Future Work and implementation details, as well as credits.
