remove bl2mem(), it is broken. a fault while copying to memory
yields a partially freed block list. it can be simply replaced
by readblist() and freeblist(), which we also use for qcopy()
now.
remove mem2bl(), and handle putting back remainer from a short
read internally (splitblock()) avoiding the releasing and re-
acquiering of the ilock.
always attempt to free blocks outside of the ilock.
have qaddlist() return the number of bytes enqueued, which
avoids walking the block list twice.
to avoid copying in padblock() when adding cryptographics macs to a block
in devtls/devssl/esp we reserve 16 extra bytes to the allocation.
remove qio ixsummary() function and add acid function qiostats() to
/sys/lib/acid/kernel
simplify iallocb(), remove iallocsummary() statitics.
this changes devmnt adding mntrahread() function and some helpers
for it to do pipelined sequential read ahead for the mount cache.
basically, cread() calls mntrahread() with Mntrah structure and it
figures out if we where reading sequentially and if thats the case
issues reads of c->iounit size in advance.
the read ahead state (Mntrah) is kept in the mount cache so we can
handle (read ahead) cache invalidation in the presence of writes.
kstrcpy() did not null terminate for < 4 byte buffers. fixed,
but i dont think there is any case where this can happen in
practice.
always set malloctag in kstrdup(), cleanup.
always use ERRMAX bounded kstrcpy() to set up->errstr, q->err
and note[]->msg. paranoia.
instead of silently truncating interface name in netifinit(),
panic the kernel if interface name is too long as this case
is clearly a mistake.
panic kernel when filename is too long for addbootfile() in
devroot. this might happen if your kernel configuration is
messed up.
in devproc status read handler the p->status, p->text and p->user
could overflow the local statbuf buffer as they where copied into
it with code like: memmove(statbuf+someoff, p->text, strlen(p->text)).
now using readstr() which will truncate if the string is too long.
make strncpy() usage consistent, make sure results are always null
terminated.
the limit for overqueueing was too small for stuff like fcp
on a fileserver connected with a standard 32K limit pipe like
ramfs.
fcp usesd 8K*16procs > 32K*2
the biggest queue limit used in the kernel is 256K making
the maximum queue bloat 2.5MB or 320K for standard pipes.
that should be big enougth to never happen in practice
unless there is a bug which we like to catch before we
exhaust all kernel memory.
