Hi,
while looking for something else, I also noticed this comment
in uvm_vnode.c:
/*
* NOTE: currently we have to use VOP_READ/VOP_WRITE because they go
* through the buffer cache and allow I/O in any size. These VOPs use
* synchronous i/o. [vs. VOP_STRATEGY which can be async, but doesn't
* go through the buffer cache or allow I/O sizes larger than a
* block]. we will eventually want to change this.
*
Does it still hold with UBC or the comment should be updated ?
