* useracc() the prequel:phk1999-10-291-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | Merge the contents (less some trivial bordering the silly comments) of <vm/vm_prot.h> and <vm/vm_inherit.h> into <vm/vm.h>. This puts the #defines for the vm_inherit_t and vm_prot_t types next to their typedefs. This paves the road for the commit to follow shortly: change useracc() to use VM_PROT_{READ|WRITE} rather than B_{READ|WRITE} as argument.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | large (1G) memory machine configurations. I was able to run 'dbench 32' on a 32MB system without bring the machine to a grinding halt. * buffer cache hash table now dynamically allocated. This will have no effect on memory consumption for smaller systems and will help scale the buffer cache for larger systems. * minor enhancement to pmap_clearbit(). I noticed that all the calls to it used constant arguments. Making it an inline allows the constants to propogate to deeper inlines and should produce better code. * removal of inherent vfs_ioopt support through the emplacement of appropriate #ifdef's, with John's permission. If we do not find a use for it by the end of the year we will remove it entirely. * removal of getnewbufloops* counters & sysctl's - no longer necessary for debugging, getnewbuf() is now optimal. * buffer hash table functions removed from sys/buf.h and localized to vfs_bio.c * VFS_BIO_NEED_DIRTYFLUSH flag and support code added ( bwillwrite() ), allowing processes to block when too many dirty buffers are present in the system. * removal of a softdep test in bdwrite() that is no longer necessary now that bdwrite() no longer attempts to flush dirty buffers. * slight optimization added to bqrelse() - there is no reason to test for available buffer space on B_DELWRI buffers. * addition of reverse-scanning code to vfs_bio_awrite(). vfs_bio_awrite() will attempt to locate clusterable areas in both the forward and reverse direction relative to the offset of the buffer passed to it. This will probably not make much of a difference now, but I believe we will start to rely on it heavily in the future if we decide to shift some of the burden of the clustering closer to the actual I/O initiation. * Removal of the newbufcnt and lastnewbuf counters that Kirk added. They do not fix any race conditions that haven't already been fixed by the gbincore() test done after the only call to getnewbuf(). getnewbuf() is a static, so there is no chance of it being misused by other modules. ( Unless Kirk can think of a specific thing that this code fixes. I went through it very carefully and didn't see anything ). * removal of VOP_ISLOCKED() check in flushbufqueues(). I do not think this check is necessary, the buffer should flush properly whether the vnode is locked or not. ( yes? ). * removal of extra arguments passed to getnewbuf() that are not necessary. * missed cluster_wbuild() that had to be a cluster_wbuild_wb() in vfs_cluster.c * vn_write() now calls bwillwrite() *PRIOR* to locking the vnode, which should greatly aid flushing operations in heavy load situations - both the pageout and update daemons will be able to operate more efficiently. * removal of b_usecount. We may add it back in later but for now it is useless. Prior implementations of the buffer cache never had enough buffers for it to be useful, and current implementations which make more buffers available might not benefit relative to the amount of sophistication required to implement a b_usecount. Straight LRU should work just as well, especially when most things are VMIO backed. I expect that (even though John will not like this assumption) directories will become VMIO backed some point soon.

When doing this, it is possible to for another process to attempt to get an exclusive lock on the vnode and deadlock the mmap/read combination when the uiomove() call tries to obtain a second shared lock on the vnode. There is still a potential deadlock situation with write()/mmap().

The additional capability is not needed. 5) Streamline read-only to read-write page mappings. 6) For pmap_copy_page, don't enable write mapping for source page. 7) Correct and clean-up pmap_incore. 8) Cluster initial kern_exec pagin. 9) Removal of some minor lint from kern_malloc. 10) Correct some ioopt code. 11) Remove some dead code from the MI swapout routine. 12) Correct vm_object_deallocate (to remove backing_object ref.) 13) Fix dead object handling, that had problems under heavy memory load. 14) Add minor vm_page_lookup improvements. 15) Some pages are not in objects, and make sure that the vm_page.c can properly support such pages. 16) Add some more page deficit handling. 17) Some minor code readability improvements.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Start using TSM. Struct procs continue to point to upages structure, after being freed. Struct vmspace continues to point to pte object and kva space for kstack. u_map is now superfluous. 2) vm_map's don't need to be reference counted. They always exist either in the kernel or in a vmspace. The vmspaces are managed by reference counts. 3) Remove the "wired" vm_map nonsense. 4) No need to keep a cache of kernel stack kva's. 5) Get rid of strange looking ++var, and change to var++. 6) Change more data structures to use our "zone" allocator. Added struct proc, struct vmspace and struct vnode. This saves a significant amount of kva space and physical memory. Additionally, this enables TSM for the zone managed memory. 7) Keep ioopt disabled for now. 8) Remove the now bogus "single use" map concept. 9) Use generation counts or id's for data structures residing in TSM, where it allows us to avoid unneeded restart overhead during traversals, where blocking might occur. 10) Account better for memory deficits, so the pageout daemon will be able to make enough memory available (experimental.) 11) Fix some vnode locking problems. (From Tor, I think.) 12) Add a check in ufs_lookup, to avoid lots of unneeded calls to bcmp. (experimental.) 13) Significantly shrink, cleanup, and make slightly faster the vm_fault.c code. Use generation counts, get rid of unneded collpase operations, and clean up the cluster code. 14) Make vm_zone more suitable for TSM. This commit is partially as a result of discussions and contributions from other people, including DG, Tor Egge, PHK, and probably others that I have forgotten to attribute (so let me know, if I forgot.) This is not the infamous, final cleanup of the vnode stuff, but a necessary step. Vnode mgmt should be correct, but things might still change, and there is still some missing stuff (like ioopt, and physical backing of non-merged cache files, debugging of layering concepts.)
* Make our v_usecount vnode reference count work identically to thedyson1998-01-061-2/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | original BSD code. The association between the vnode and the vm_object no longer includes reference counts. The major difference is that vm_object's are no longer freed gratuitiously from the vnode, and so once an object is created for the vnode, it will last as long as the vnode does. When a vnode object reference count is incremented, then the underlying vnode reference count is incremented also. The two "objects" are now more intimately related, and so the interactions are now much less complex. When vnodes are now normally placed onto the free queue with an object still attached. The rundown of the object happens at vnode rundown time, and happens with exactly the same filesystem semantics of the original VFS code. There is absolutely no need for vnode_pager_uncache and other travesties like that anymore. A side-effect of these changes is that SMP locking should be much simpler, the I/O copyin/copyout optimizations work, NFS should be more ponderable, and further work on layered filesystems should be less frustrating, because of the totally coherent management of the vnode objects and vnodes. Please be careful with your system while running this code, but I would greatly appreciate feedback as soon a reasonably possible.
