so make the code slightly more uniform. The vnode lock is acquired in
all cases and now the only difference between VCHR and other is we
call UFS_UPDATE instead of VOP_FSYNC().
- Slightly rewrite the fsync loop to be more lock friendly. We must
acquire the vnode interlock before dropping the mnt lock. We must
also check XLOCK to prevent vclean() races.
- Use LK_INTERLOCK in the vget() in ffs_sync to further prevent vclean()
races.
- Use a local variable to store the results of the nvp == TAILQ_NEXT
test so that we do not access the vp after we've vrele()d it.
- Add an XXX comment about UFS_UPDATE() not being protected by any lock
here. I suspect that it should need the VOP lock.
we release the mntvnode_mtx.
- Call vgonel() directly instead of going through vrecycle() since we own
the interlock now.
- Remove a few cases where we locked the interlock just so that we could
call VOP_UNLOCK with interlock held.
in a list head instead of a pointer to the first element at the time of
the first call. These lists are subject to change, and getdirtybuf()
would refetch from the wrong list in some cases.

bail out if the buffer is not already present.
- The buffer returned by incore() is not locked and should not be sent to
brelse(). Use getblk() with the new GB_NOCREAT flag to preserve the
desired semantics.
caller to acquire it. This permits drain_output() to be done atomically
with other operations as well as reducing the number of lock operations.
- Assert that the proper locks are held in drain_output().
- Change getdirtybuf() to accept a mutex as an argument. This mutex is used
to protect the vnode's buf list and the BKGRDWAIT flag. This lock is
dropped when we successfully acquire a buffer and held on return
otherwise. These semantics reduce the number of cumbersome cases in
calling code.
- Pass the mtx from getdirtybuf() into interlocked_sleep() and allow this
mutex to be used as the interlock argument to BUF_LOCK() in the LOCKBUF
case of interlocked_sleep().
- Change the return value of getdirtybuf() to be the resulting locked buffer
or NULL otherwise. This is for callers who pass in a list head that
requires a lock. It is necessary since the lock that protects the list
head must be dropped in getdirtybuf() so that we don't have a lock order
reversal with the buf queues lock in bremfree().
- Adjust all callers of getdirtybuf() to match the new semantics.
- Add a comment in indir_trunc() that points at unlocked access to a buf.
This may also be one of the last instances of incore() in the tree.
- Surround all accesses of the BKGRD{WAIT,INPROG} flags with the vnode
interlock.
- Don't use the B_LOCKED flag and QUEUE_LOCKED for background write
buffers. Check for the BKGRDINPROG flag before recycling or throwing
away a buffer. We do this instead because it is not safe for us to move
the original buffer to a new queue from the callback on the background
write buffer.
- Remove the B_LOCKED flag and the locked buffer queue. They are no longer
used.
- The vnode interlock is used around checks for BKGRDINPROG where it may
not be strictly necessary. If we hold the buf lock the a back-ground
write will not be started without our knowledge, one may only be
completed while we're not looking. Rather than remove the code, Document
two of the places where this extra locking is done. A pass should be
done to verify and minimize the locking later.

This saves a pointer in the memory copies of inodes, which can
easily run into several hundred kilobytes.
The extra indirection is unmeasurable in benchmarks.

if we permit them to occur, the kernel panics due to our performing
EA operations using VOP_STRATEGY on the vnode. This went unnoticed
previously because there are very for users of device nodes on UFS2
due to the introduction of devfs. However, this can come up with
the Linux compat directories and its hard-coded dev nodes (which will
need to go away as we move away from hard-coded device numbers).
This can come up if you use EA-intensive features such as ACLs and
MAC.
The proper fix is pretty complicated, but this band-aid would be
an excellent MFC candidate for the release.
These fields can be left as NULL if ffs_vget() allocates an inode but
fails before the dinode memory has been allocated. There are two cases
when this can occur: when we lose a race and another process has added
the inode to the hash, and when reading the inode off disk fails.
The bug was observed by Kris on one of the package-building machines.
See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-current&m=105172731013411&w=2
In Kris's case, it was the bread() that failed because of a disk error.
The alternative to this patch is to ensure that ffs_vget() does not call
vput() when the inode that hasn't been properly initialised.
kg_nice is now protected by both. Being protected by both means that
other places in the kernel that want to read kg_nice only need one of the
two locks.
requiring locked bufs in vfs_bio_awrite(). Previously the buf could
have been written out by fsync before we acquired the buf lock if it
weren't for giant. The cluster_wbuild() handles this race properly but
the single write at the end of vfs_bio_awrite() would not.
- Modify flushbufqueues() so there is only one copy of the loop. Pass a
parameter in that says whether or not we should sync bufs with deps.
- Call flushbufqueues() a second time and then break if we couldn't find
any bufs without deps.

- Define one flag GB_LOCK_NOWAIT that tells getblk() to pass the LK_NOWAIT
flag to the initial BUF_LOCK(). This will eventually be used in cases
were we want to use a buffer only if it is not currently in use.
- Convert all consumers of the getblk() api to use this extra parameter.
