CVS commit: src/sys/rump/librump/rumpvfs



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   pooka
Date:           Mon Apr 29 13:07:37 UTC 2013

Modified Files:
        src/sys/rump/librump/rumpvfs: rumpblk.c

Log Message:
rework bio hypercalls, part 2:

Nuke all the policy hacks (r/w, mmap, directio) from the paravirtualized
block driver and let the hypervisor decide how it wants to optimize
the I/O.  It can prepare for this based on if a file is opened with
the RUMPUSER_OPEN_BIO flag.

mmap was not faster than r/w except in a niche case (yes, it made a
good measurement), and directio was never on by default since
it was tricky at best to decide on the kernel side of things if
directio will do the right thing.
