# 189878 16-Mar-2009 kib

Fix two issues with bufdaemon, often causing the processes to hang in
the "nbufkv" sleep.

First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for
the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due
to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon.
Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk
to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure
instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags
to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer
allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk()
is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In
ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow
block allocation failed.

Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is
locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many
buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload,
quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to
read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache
exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make
any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked.

Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing
the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to
uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new
helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The
number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from
getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent
recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads
that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

# 183754 10-Oct-2008 attilio

Remove the struct thread unuseful argument from bufobj interface.
In particular following functions KPI results modified:
- bufobj_invalbuf()
- bufsync()

and BO_SYNC() "virtual method" of the buffer objects set.
Main consumers of bufobj functions are affected by this change too and,
in particular, functions which changed their KPI are:
- vinvalbuf()
- g_vfs_close()

Due to the KPI breakage, __FreeBSD_version will be bumped in a later
commit.

As a side note, please consider just temporary the 'curthread' argument
passing to VOP_SYNC() (in bufsync()) as it will be axed out ASAP

# 176249 13-Feb-2008 attilio

- Add real assertions to lockmgr locking primitives.
A couple of notes for this:
* WITNESS support, when enabled, is only used for shared locks in order
to avoid problems with the "disowned" locks
* KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD only exists in the lockmgr namespace in order
to assert for a generic thread (not curthread) owning or not the
lock. Really, this kind of check is bogus but it seems very
widespread in the consumers code. So, for the moment, we cater this
untrusted behaviour, until the consumers are not fixed and the
options could be removed (hopefully during 8.0-CURRENT lifecycle)
* Implementing KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD (not surported natively by
WITNESS) made necessary the introduction of LA_MASKASSERT which
specifies the range for default lock assertion flags
* About other aspects, lockmgr_assert() follows exactly what other
locking primitives offer about this operation.

- Build real assertions for buffer cache locks on the top of
lockmgr_assert(). They can be used with the BUF_ASSERT_*(bp)
paradigm.

- Add checks at lock destruction time and use a cookie for verifying
lock integrity at any operation.

- Redefine BUF_LOCKFREE() in order to not use a direct assert but
let it rely on the aforementioned destruction time check.

KPI results evidently broken, so __FreeBSD_version bumping and
manpage update result necessary and will be committed soon.

Side note: lockmgr_assert() will be used soon in order to implement
real assertions in the vnode namespace replacing the legacy and still
bogus "VOP_ISLOCKED()" way.

# 175486 19-Jan-2008 attilio

- Introduce the function lockmgr_recursed() which returns true if the
lockmgr lkp, when held in exclusive mode, is recursed
- Introduce the function BUF_RECURSED() which does the same for bufobj
locks based on the top of lockmgr_recursed()
- Introduce the function BUF_ISLOCKED() which works like the counterpart
VOP_ISLOCKED(9), showing the state of lockmgr linked with the bufobj

BUF_RECURSED() and BUF_ISLOCKED() entirely replace the usage of bogus
BUF_REFCNT() in a more explicative and SMP-compliant way.
This allows us to axe out BUF_REFCNT() and leaving the function
lockcount() totally unused in our stock kernel. Further commits will
axe lockcount() as well as part of lockmgr() cleanup.

KPI results, obviously, broken so further commits will update manpages
and freebsd version.
