FreeBSD currently implements the most up to date IPv6 APIs for
option and route header parsing. This checkin marks the older APIs
as deprecated and points the reader to the newer pages.

- Use VFS_LOCK_GIANT() rather than directly acquiring giant in places
where giant is only held because vfs requires it.

- Remove some KASSERTs which are invalid if the appropriate lock is
not held.
- Slightly restructure bremfree() so that it is more sane.
- Change the flush code in bdwrite() to avoid acquiring a mutex
whenever possible.
- Change the flush code in bdwrite() to avoid holding the bufobj mutex
while calling buf_countdeps(). This introduces a lock-order
relationship with the softdep lock that can not otherwise be resolved.
- Don't set B_DONE until bufdone() is complete, otherwise another
processor may believe the buf is done before it is.
- Only acquire Giant if the caller has set b_iodone. Don't grab giant
around normal bufdone() calls.

to off.
- Protect access to mnt_kern_flag with the mointpoint mutex.
- Remove some KASSERTs which are not legal checks without the appropriate
locks held.
- Use VCANRECYCLE() rather than rolling several slightly different
checks together.
- Return from vtryrecycle() with a recycled vnode rather than a locked
vnode. This simplifies some locking.
- Remove several GIANT_REQUIRED lines.
- Add a few KASSERTs to help with INACT debugging.

- Protect access to mnt_kern_flag with the mountpoint mutex.
- Use the appropriate nd flags to deal with giant in vn_open_cred().
We currently determine whether the caller is mpsafe by checking
for a valid fdidx. Any caller coming from user-space is now
mpsafe and supplies a valid fd. No kenrel callers have been
converted to mpsafe, so this check is sufficient for now.
- Use VFS_LOCK_GIANT instead of manual giant acquisition where
appropriate.

- Track the status of Giant with the nd flag HASGIANT.
- Release giant on return of namei() callers are not marked MPSAFE as
they already own giant.

vnode lock is much simpler than I originally thought it would be.
Now, the cache lock is always acquired before the vnode lock.
- Provide some gotos in __getcwd() to simplify the unlocking a bit.
- Move Giant acquisition down into __getcwd().

if the lockmgr interlock is dropped after the caller's interlock
is dropped.
- Change some lockmgr KTRs to be slightly more helpful.

- Expand the scope of lk to cover not only interrupt races, but also
top-half races, which includes many new uses over global top-half
only data.
- Get rid of interlocked_sleep() and use msleep or BUF_LOCK where
appropriate.
- Use the lk mutex in place of the various hand rolled semaphores.
- Stop dropping the lk lock before we panic.
- Fix getdirtybuf() callers so that they reacquire access to whatever
softdep datastructure they were inxpecting in the failure/retry
case. Previously, sleeps in getdirtybuf() could leave us with
pointers to bad memory.
- Update handling of ffs to be compatible with ffs locking changes.

- Use the buffer lock on the superblock buf to serialize calls to
sbupdate.
- Set the MNTK_MPSAFE flag when QUOTA is not defined in the kernel.

it is now quite naturally protected by the ufsmount mutex.
- Use the ufs lock to protect various fields in struct fs, primarily the
cg summary needs protection to avoid allocation races. Several
functions have been slightly re-arranged to reduce the number of
lock operations.
- Adjust several functions (blkfree, freefile, etc.) to accept a
ufsmount as an argument so that we may access the ufs lock.

any per-instance global data that is not already protected by a
buf or vnode lock. Presently, only fields in ffs's struct fs utilize
this lock.
- Sort some ufsmount members so that fields used for quotas are grouped
together. This is in anticipation of quota locking.

caller may not be holding Giant, and namei() should acquire it as
necessary. HASGIANT is used to indicate when namei() is returning
with a reference to a vnode that requires giant, and giant is locked.
- Add the macro NDHASGIANT() which can be used in conjunction with
VFS_UNLOCK_GIANT() in callers who have marked the nd with MPSAFE.

must be held when any vnode owned by the filesystem is manipulated.
- Add VFS_LOCK_GIANT and VFS_UNLOCK_GIANT macros which are used to
conditionally lock and unlock Giant based on a particular mountpoint.
NetBSD went this route a while ago. FreeBSD originally tried this to
cope with multifunction cards. However, it turns out that we're
better off not worrying about the function number, and instead worry
about the function type for the function. This has worked well in
NetBSD, and all FreeBSD's relevant drivers have been converted.
# I'll rework the macros that specify them shortly, as soon as I can
# come up with a good, compatible way to deal...
- Rearrange the list of functions into categories.
- Remove the ulps column. It was appropriate for only some
of the functions in the list, and correct for even fewer
of them.
- Add some new paragraphs, and remove some old ones about
NaNs that may do more harm than good.
- Document precisions other than double-precision.
measurements suggest that higher degrees of parallelism for large
numbers of clients help performance substantially.
