instead of naming devices by ther dynamically assigned device address,
we hash device uniqueue fields from the device descriptor and produce
a 5 digit hex string that will identify the device across machines.
when there is a collision (less than 1% chance with 100 devices),
usbd will append the device address to the name to make it uniqueue
for this machine.
the hname is passed to drivers in the devid argument, which now has
the form addr:hname, where the colon and hname can be omited (for backwards
compatibility).
when the new behaviour isnt desired, nousbhname= environment variable
can be defined giving the old behaviour.
pipeline = 1 with a dovecot imap server causes FETCH and OK responses
get interleaved so some message bodies accidentally get merged together.
disabling it will make fetching mail over imap slower, but it works.
make the Page stucture less than half its original size by getting rid of
the Lock and the lru.
The Lock was required to coordinate the unchaining of pages that where
both cached and on the lru freelist.
now pages have a single next pointer that is used for palloc.head
freelist xor for page cache hash chains in Image.pghash[].
cached pages are not on the freelist anymore, but will be reclaimed
from images by the pager when the freelist runs out of pages.
each Image has its own 512 hash chains for cached page lookup. That is
2MB worth of pages and there should be no collisions for most text images.
page reclaiming can be done without holding palloc.lock as the Image is
the owner of the page hash chains protected by the Image's lock.
reclaiming Image structures can be done quickly by only reclaiming pages from
inactive images, that is images which are not currently in use by segments.
the Ref structure has no Lock anymore. Only a single long that is atomically
incremented or decremnted using cmpswap().
there are various other changes as a consequence code. and lots of pikeshedding,
sorry.
the code was correct. erealloc9p() terminates the process
on error, but the code was handling realloc() error explicitely
and responded the request with Enomem error.
