piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however, optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations, you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further optimization in these areas. The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid = VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE. getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now formally defined in comments and more straightforward in implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear, and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite() is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also set B_CACHE indirectly. There are a number of places in the code which were previously using buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about dealing with B_DONE. Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com> |
