Konstantin Belousov ee75e7de7b Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which ... do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30% of the system time on i/o intensive workloads. The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag. When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA reservation. Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy(). Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio, otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA submap. The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers can accept unmapped i/o requests. Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested. In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately. The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached. By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into smaller single-purpose functions.
