cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations.
The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource
management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the
vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there
always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for
use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged
down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

The impact on developers is virtually nil, except for two things.
All linker sets that might possibly be present in the kernel must be
listed in "sys/i386/i386/setdefs.h". And all C symbols that are
also referenced from assembly language code must be listed in
"sys/i386/include/asnames.h". It so happens that failure to do
these things will have no impact on the a.out kernel. But it will
break the build of the ELF kernel.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Firstly, now our read-ahead clustering is on a file descriptor basis and not
on a per-vnode basis. This will allow multiple processes reading the
same file to take advantage of read-ahead clustering. Secondly, there
previously was a problem with large reads still using the ramp-up
algorithm. Of course, that was bogus, and now we read the entire
"chunk" off of the disk in one operation. The read-ahead clustering
algorithm should use less CPU than the previous also (I hope :-)).
directories to a different parent directory always failed. This bug
was caused by 4.4Lite2 changing the directory format and ext2fs not
keeping up.
Should be in 2.2.
This fixes several bugs and one missing feature:
- cluster_read() was needlessly used for reading files of size exactly 1
block.
- EFAULT errors for read didn't terminate the loop. This was probably
harmless.
- IO_VMIO handling was missing near line 275. I don't know what this does.
- B_CLUSTEROK was only set if (doclusterwrite) nead line 293. This was
harmless, if only because another bug prevents doclusterwrite from being
0.
- MNT_NOATIME wasn't implemented.
This should be in 2.2, of course.

Introduce TS_CONNECTED and TS_ZOMBIE states. TS_CONNECTED is set
while a connection is established. It is set while (TS_CARR_ON or
CLOCAL is set) and TS_ZOMBIE is clear. TS_ZOMBIE is set for on to
off transitions of TS_CARR_ON that occur when CLOCAL is clear and
is cleared for off to on transitions of CLOCAL. I/o can only occur
while TS_CONNECTED is set. TS_ZOMBIE prevents further i/o.
Split the input-event sleep address TSA_CARR_ON(tp) into TSA_CARR_ON(tp)
and TSA_HUP_OR_INPUT(tp). The former address is now used only for
off to on carrier transitions and equivalent CLOCAL transitions.
The latter is used for all input events, all carrier transitions
and certain CLOCAL transitions. There are some harmless extra
wakeups for rare connection- related events. Previously there were
too many extra wakeups for non-rare input events.
Drivers now call l_modem() instead of setting TS_CARR_ON directly
to handle even the initial off to on transition of carrier. They
should always have done this. l_modem() now handles TS_CONNECTED
and TS_ZOMBIE as well as TS_CARR_ON.
gnu/isdn/iitty.c:
Set TS_CONNECTED for first open ourself to go with bogusly setting
CLOCAL.
i386/isa/syscons.c, i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_drv.c:
We fake carrier, so don't also fake CLOCAL.
kern/tty.c:
Testing TS_CONNECTED instead of TS_CARR_ON fixes TIOCCONS forgetting to
test CLOCAL. TS_ISOPEN was tested instead, but that broke when we disabled
the clearing of TS_ISOPEN for certain transitions of CLOCAL.
Testing TS_CONNECTED fixes ttyselect() returning false success for output
to devices in state !TS_CARR_ON && !CLOCAL.
Optimize the other selwakeup() call (this is not related to the other
changes).
kern/tty_pty.c:
ptcopen() can be declared in traditional C now that dev_t isn't short.
ttwwakeup(). The conditions for doing the wakeup will soon become
more complicated and I don't want them duplicated in all drivers.
It's probably not worth making ttwwakeup() a macro or an inline
function. The cost of the function call is relatively small when
there is a process to wake up. There is usually a process to wake
up for large writes and the system call overhead dwarfs the function
call overhead for small writes.
Temporarily nuke TS_WOPEN. It was only used for the obscure MDMBUF
flow control option in the kernel and for informational purposes
in `pstat -t'. The latter worked properly only for ptys. In
general there may be multiple processes sleeping in open() and
multiple processes that successfully opened the tty by opening it
in O_NONBLOCK mode or during a window when CLOCAL was set. tty.c
doesn't have enough information to maintain the flag but always
cleared it in ttyopen().
TS_WOPEN should be restored someday just so that `pstat -t' can
display it (MDMBUF is already fixed). Fixing it requires counting
of processes sleeping in open() in too many serial drivers.

Remove unnecessary check for active messages in setup SCB. This same test

confusing the target.
Tell the kernel driver whenever we send an ABORT_TAG message.
- Report valid residual byte counts. We actually pause the sequencer
when the residual is non-zero. I thought about using DMA to do this,
bus sequencer program space is tight.
- Fix embarassing off by one error in the computation of a 2's
compliment variable. This was most likely the cause of the
many problems reported with the tagged queuing code.
- Handle "MAX_SYNC" as a special case (ie we are the ones starting
the sync negotiation sequence). This was done so that the target
scratch area can be initialed to 0 offset (asyncronous transfers)
safely. The initialization to 0 (was 15) is necessary since in
some cases a Wide negotiation could run into problems if SCSIRATE
was set wrong and we went into data(in/out).
- Trim the DMA routines a little by using some procedures. Net
effect is more functionality with 3 less instructions after this
update.
- Toggle the WIDEODD bit of the DFCNTRL whenever this is not the
last SG block. It has no effect in the 8bit bus configuration,
but in the Wide configuration ensures that the overlap byte is
held in the SCSI block if the transfer is odd so it will end
up in the next SG (the correct behavior).

vfs_bio.c:
Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache
scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem
interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write
clustering.
vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c
Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged
VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff.
vm_object.c:
Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that
can cause list corruption.
vm_pageout.c:
Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements"
broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up.
vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c
Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme.
pmap.c vm_map.c
Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of
kernel PTs.
vm_glue.c
Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping.
proc.h
Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.
swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.
machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.
machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.
ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.
