The swap pager enqueues laundered pages near the head of the inactive queue
to avoid another trip through LRU before reclamation. This change adds
support for this behaviour to the vnode pager and makes use of it in UFS and
ext2fs. Some ioflag handling is consolidated into a common subroutine so
that this support can be easily extended to other filesystems which make use
of the buffer cache. No changes are needed for ZFS since its putpages
routine always undirties the pages before returning, and the laundry
thread requeues the pages appropriately in this case.

Currently mount update keeps vfs_busy(9) reference on the mount point
during MNT_UPDATE VFS_MOUNT() vfsops call. This already provides the
exclusion, but is problematic for filesystems which need to perform
namei(9) during VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE) operations, e.g. to refresh
mnt_from path, because namei(9) must not be called while the
vfs_busy(9) reference is owned.
Check for MNT_UPDATE flag before setting MNTK_UNMOUNT, and for
MNTK_UNMOUNT before entering innards of vfs_domount_update(), failing
syscalls with EBUSY if conflict is detected. Keep vfs_busy(9)
reference around VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE) calls still to not change VFS
KPI.
In the update path in ffs_mount(), drop vfs_busy() reference around
namei(), which is now safe due to unmount never executing in parallel
with VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE), and which avoids the deadlock.

See the comments for more detailed description of the algorithm.
The pager is used unconditionally when the block size of the
underlying device is larger than the machine page size, since local
vnode pager cannot handle the configuration [1]. Otherwise, the
vfs.ffs.use_buf_pager sysctl allows to switch to the local pager.
Measurements demonstrated no regression in the ever-important
buildworld benchmark, and small (~5%) throughput improvements in the
special microbenchmark configuration for dbench over swap-backed
md(4).
Code can be generalized and reused for other filesystems which use
buffer cache.

In the the most important case of ffs_blkfree(), the devfs vnode is

mounts in almost all cases instead of in most cases. Don't override
DOINGASYNC() by any condition except IO_SYNC.
Fix previous sprinking of DOINGASYNC() checks. Don't override IO_SYNC
by DOINGASYNC(). In ffs_write() and ffs_extwrite(), there were
intentional overrides that just broke O_SYNC of data. In
ffs_truncate(), there are 5 calls to ffs_update(), 4 with
apparently-unintentional overrides and 1 without; this had no effect
due to the main async mount hack descibed below.
Fix 1 place in ffs_truncate() where the caller's IO_ASYNC was overridden
for the soft updates case too (to do a delayed write instead of a sync
write). This is supposed to be the only change that affects anything
except async mounts.
In ffs_update(), remove the 19 year old efficiency hack of ignoring
the waitfor flag for async mounts, so that fsync() almost works for
async mounts. All callers are supposed to be fixed to not ask for a
sync update unless they are for fsync() or [I]O_SYNC operations.
fsync() now almost works for async mounts. It used to sync the data
but not the most important metdata (the inode). It still doesn't sync
associated directories.
This gave 10-20% fewer writes for my makeworld benchmark with async
mounted tmp and obj directories from an already small number.
Style fixes:
- in ffs_balloc.c, remove rotted quadruplicated comments about the
simplest part of the DOING*() decisions and rearrange the nearly-
quadruplicated code to be more nearly so.
- in ufs_vnops.c, use a consistent style with less negative logic and
no manual "optimization" of || to | in DOING*() expressions.

Secondary write initiators, e.g. ufs_inactive(), might need to start a
write while owning the vnode lock. Since the suspended state
established by /dev/ufssuspend prevents them from entering
vn_start_secondary_write(), we get deadlock otherwise.
Note that it is arguably not very useful to re-read inodes after
/dev/ufssuspend suspension, because the suspension does not block
readers, and other threads might read existing files in parallel with
suspension owner (for now, only growfs(8)) operations. This
effectively means that suspension owner cannot safely modify existing
inodes, and then there is no sense in re-reading. But keep the code

with softupdates panics the kernel. The problem that has been pointed
out is that when there is a transient write error on certain metadata
blocks, specifically directory blocks (PAGEDEP), inode blocks
(INODEDEP), indirect pointer blocks (INDIRDEPS), and cylinder group
(BMSAFEMAP, but only when journaling is enabled), we get a panic
in one of the routines called by softdep_disk_io_initiation that
the I/O is "already started" when we retry the write.
These dependency types potentially need to do roll-backs when called
by softdep_disk_io_initiation before doing a write and then a
roll-forward when called by softdep_disk_write_complete after the
I/O completes. The panic happens when there is a transient error.
At the top of softdep_disk_write_complete we check to see if the
write had an error and if an error occurred we just return. This
return is correct most of the time because the main role of the routines
called by softdep_disk_write_complete is to process the now-completed
dependencies so that the next I/O steps can happen.
But for the four types listed above, they do not get to do their
rollback operations. This causes the panic when softdep_disk_io_initiation
gets called on the second attempt to do the write and the roll-back
routines find that the roll-backs have already been done. As an
aside I note that there is also the problem that the buffer will
have been unlocked and thus made visible to the filesystem and to
user applications with the roll-backs in place.
The way to resolve the problem is to add a flag to the routines called
by softdep_disk_write_complete for the four dependency types noted
that indicates whether the write was successful (WRITESUCCEEDED).
If the write does not succeed, they do just the roll-backs and then
return. If the write was successful they also do their usual
processing of the now-completed dependencies.
The fix was tested by selectively injecting write errors for buffers
holding dependencies of each of the four types noted above and then
verifying that the kernel no longer paniced and that following the
successful retry of the write that the filesystem could be unmounted
and successfully checked cleanly.

Dandling buffers are released on UFS_BALLOC() failure to ensure that
later attempt to allocate blocks in close range do not find the blocks
with invalid content, since possible partial block allocations are

pages must also invalidated and removed from the vnode vm_object

reconstruct indirect buffers when doing allocations at offset close to
the failure point, and their stale content compromise the filesystem

Note that just marking the buffer as B_INVAL is not enough, B_NOCACHE

a buffer pointer in the event of an error (for some errors it would
return a buffer pointer and for other errors it would not return a

Clients of these functions were inconsistent in handling errors.
Some would assume that no buffer was returned after an error and
would thus lose buffers under certain error conditions. Others would
assume that brelse() should always be called after an error and
would thus panic the system under certain error conditions.
To correct both of these problems with minimal code churn, bread()
and cluster_write() now always free the buffer when returning an
error thus ensuring that buffers will never be lost. The brelse()
routine checks for being passed a NULL buffer pointer and silently
returns to avoid panics. Thus both approaches to handling error
returns from bread() and cluster_read() will work correctly.
Future code should be written assuming that bread() and cluster_read()
will never return a buffer with an error, so should not attempt to
brelse() the buffer when an error is returned.
