Well, actually these have been partially reviewed over the last few
months, but I'd like to commit them now so I need a final review on
these babies.
The three patches are available at:
http://www.backplane.com/FreeBSD4/
buffer cache cleanup:
This is probably more for bde, dg, Julian, or Alfred. bde has
already reviewed most of the patch. This is the final version.
This patch takes a step towards getting rid of the buffer cache's
KVA management. It chunks up the KVA allocations for the buffer
cache to reduce fragmentation and also fixes geteblk()'s allocation
size (previously geteblk() used MAXBSIZE, which can cause severe
fragmentation).
swap-SPL:
Required splvm()'s had to be added to two places in the swap subsystem
(but I don't think the lack of these spl's is the cause of the
recently reported crashes, though it is possible).
NFS packet buffer:
This patch increases the default buffer size from 2 to 4 packets
for UDP NFS mounts and adds a sysctl that allows the buffer size
to be adjusted prior to mounting.
This patch apparently makes a big difference on clients on gigabit
networks, especially slower clients which can't pop the UDP packets
off the queue quickly enough.
