1c85e6a35d This commit adds basic support for the UFS2 filesystem. The UFS2
filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit
block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability
to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density,
and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block
size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space
for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1
filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either
UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is
the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems,
you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when
UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for
reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c)
as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the
boot block is increased, this code can be defined.

Things to note: the definition of SBSIZE has changed to SBLOCKSIZE.
The header file <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> must be included before
<ufs/ffs/fs.h> so as to get the definitions of ufs2_daddr_t and
ufs_lbn_t.

Still TODO:
Verify that the first level bootstraps work for all the architectures.
Convert the utility ffsinfo to understand UFS2 and test growfs.
Add support for the extended attribute storage. Update soft updates
to ensure integrity of extended attribute storage. Switch the
current extended attribute interfaces to use the extended attribute
storage. Add the extent like functionality (framework is there,
but is currently never used).

cd6005961f When downgrading a filesystem from read-write to read-only, operations
involving file removal or file update were not always being fully
committed to disk. The result was lost files or corrupted file data.
This change ensures that the filesystem is properly synced to disk
before the filesystem is down-graded.

This delta also fixes a long standing bug in which a file open for
reading has been unlinked. When the last open reference to the file
is closed, the inode is reclaimed by the filesystem. Previously,
if the filesystem had been down-graded to read-only, the inode could
not be reclaimed, and thus was lost and had to be later recovered
by fsck.  With this change, such files are found at the time of the
down-grade.  Normally they will result in the filesystem down-grade
failing with `device busy'. If a forcible down-grade is done, then
the affected files will be revoked causing the inode to be released
and the open file descriptors to begin failing on attempts to read.

9db12e5108 When a file is partially truncated, we first check to see if the
new file end will land in the middle of a file hole. Since the last
block of a file must always be allocated, the hole is filled by
allocating a block at that location. If the hole being filled is
a direct block, then the truncation may eventually reduce the
full sized block down to a fragment. When running with soft
updates, it is necessary to FSYNC the file after allocating the
block and before creating the fragment to avoid triggering a
soft updates inconsistency when the block unexpectedly shrinks.

9ccb939ef0 When running with soft updates, track the number of blocks and files
that are committed to being freed and reflect these blocks in the
counts returned by statfs (and thus also by the `df' command). This
change allows programs such as those that do news expiration to
know when to stop if they are trying to create a certain percentage
of free space. Note that this change does not solve the much harder
problem of making this to-be-freed space available to applications
that want it (thus on a nearly full filesystem, you may still
encounter out-of-space conditions even though the free space will
show up eventually). Hopefully this harder problem will be the
subject of a future enhancement.

1d733bbd10 Preventing runaway kernel soft updates memory, take three.
Previously, the syncer process was the only process in the
system that could process the soft updates background work
list. If enough other processes were adding requests to that
list, it would eventually grow without bound. Because some of
the work list requests require vnodes to be locked, it was
not generally safe to let random processes process the work
list while they already held vnodes locked. By adding a flag
to the work list queue processing function to indicate whether
the calling process could safely lock vnodes, it becomes possible
to co-opt other processes into helping out with the work list.
Now when the worklist gets too large, other processes can safely
help out by picking off those work requests that can be handled
without locking a vnode, leaving only the small number of
requests requiring a vnode lock for the syncer process. With
this change, it appears possible to keep even the nastiest
workloads under control.

936524aa02 Implement a low-memory deadlock solution.
Removed most of the hacks that were trying to deal with low-memory
    situations prior to now.

    The new code is based on the concept that I/O must be able to function in
    a low memory situation.  All major modules related to I/O (except
    networking) have been adjusted to allow allocation out of the system
    reserve memory pool.  These modules now detect a low memory situation but
    rather then block they instead continue to operate, then return resources
    to the memory pool instead of cache them or leave them wired.

    Code has been added to stall in a low-memory situation prior to a vnode
    being locked.

    Thus situations where a process blocks in a low-memory condition while
    holding a locked vnode have been reduced to near nothing.  Not only will
    I/O continue to operate, but many prior deadlock conditions simply no
    longer exist.

Implement a number of VFS/BIO fixes

	(found by Ian): in biodone(), bogus-page replacement code, the loop
        was not properly incrementing loop variables prior to a continue
        statement.  We do not believe this code can be hit anyway but we
        aren't taking any chances.  We'll turn the whole section into a
        panic (as it already is in brelse()) after the release is rolled.

	In biodone(), the foff calculation was incorrectly
        clamped to the iosize, causing the wrong foff to be calculated
        for pages in the case of an I/O error or biodone() called without
        initiating I/O.  The problem always caused a panic before.  Now it
        doesn't.  The problem is mainly an issue with NFS.

	Fixed casts for ~PAGE_MASK.  This code worked properly before only
        because the calculations use signed arithmatic.  Better to properly
        extend PAGE_MASK first before inverting it for the 64 bit masking
        op.

	In brelse(), the bogus_page fixup code was improperly throwing
        away the original contents of 'm' when it did the j-loop to
        fix the bogus pages.  The result was that it would potentially
        invalidate parts of the *WRONG* page(!), leading to corruption.

	There may still be cases where a background bitmap write is
        being duplicated, causing potential corruption.  We have identified
        a potentially serious bug related to this but the fix is still TBD.
        So instead this patch contains a KASSERT to detect the problem
  	and panic the machine rather then continue to corrupt the filesystem.
	The problem does not occur very often..  it is very hard to
	reproduce, and it may or may not be the cause of the corruption
	people have reported.

3592b7155c Clean up the snapshot code so that it no longer depends on the use of
the SF_IMMUTABLE flag to prevent writing. Instead put in explicit
checking for the SF_SNAPSHOT flag in the appropriate places. With
this change, it is now possible to rename and link to snapshot files.
It is also possible to set or clear any of the owner, group, or
other read bits on the file, though none of the write or execute
bits can be set. There is also an explicit test to prevent the
setting or clearing of the SF_SNAPSHOT flag via chflags() or
fchflags(). Note also that the modify time cannot be changed as
it needs to accurately reflect the time that the snapshot was taken.

21144e3bf1 Remove B_READ, B_WRITE and B_FREEBUF and replace them with a new
field in struct buf: b_iocmd.  The b_iocmd is enforced to have
exactly one bit set.

B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding
mistakes.

Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.

Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue.  It is likely to write on your disk
where it should have been reading.

This change is a step in the direction towards a stackable BIO capability.

4221e284a3 The VFS/BIO subsystem contained a number of hacks in order to optimize
piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS.  These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap().  I've removed
them.  Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write.  NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files.  For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference.  The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations.  NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write.  There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.

The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =
VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault.  This
is not correct operation.  The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now
responsible for marking VM pages all-valid.  A number of VM helper
routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid.  This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap().  The zeroing occurs most often
when dealing with file-EOF situations.  Several bugs have been fixed
in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF
situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing
B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE.

getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten.  B_CACHE operation is now
formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation.  B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store.  B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa).  biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes.  B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated.  VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE.  This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.

There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount.  These have been fixed.  getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.

Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made.  A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain.  The server's kernel must be
recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes.

bef608bd7e Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11
problems.  Tor Egge and others have helped with various VM bugs
lately, but don't blame him -- blame me!!!

pmap.c:
1)	Create an object for kernel page table allocations.  This
	fixes a bogus allocation method previously used for such, by
	grabbing pages from the kernel object, using bogus pindexes.
	(This was a code cleanup, and perhaps a minor system stability
	 issue.)

pmap.c:
2)	Pre-set the modify and accessed bits when prudent.  This will
	decrease bus traffic under certain circumstances.

vfs_bio.c, vfs_cluster.c:
3)	Rather than calculating the beginning virtual byte offset
	multiple times, stick the offset into the buffer header, so
	that the calculated offset can be reused.  (Long long multiplies
	are often expensive, and this is a probably unmeasurable performance
	improvement, and code cleanup.)

vfs_bio.c:
4)	Handle write recursion more intelligently (but not perfectly) so
	that it is less likely to cause a system panic, and is also
	much more robust.

vfs_bio.c:
5)	getblk incorrectly wrote out blocks that are incorrectly sized.
	The problem is fixed, and writes blocks out ONLY when B_DELWRI
	is true.

vfs_bio.c:
6)	Check that already constituted buffers have fully valid pages.  If
	not, then make sure that the B_CACHE bit is not set. (This was
	a major source of Sig-11 type problems.)

vfs_bio.c:
7)	Fix a potential system deadlock due to an incorrectly specified
	sleep priority while waiting for a buffer write operation.  The
	change that I made opens the system up to serious problems, and
	we need to examine the issue of process sleep priorities.

vfs_cluster.c, vfs_bio.c:
8)	Make clustered reads work more correctly (and more completely)
	when buffers are already constituted, but not fully valid.
	(This was another system reliability issue.)

vfs_subr.c, ffs_inode.c:
9)	Create a vtruncbuf function, which is used by filesystems that
	can truncate files.  The vinvalbuf forced a file sync type operation,
	while vtruncbuf only invalidates the buffers past the new end of file,
	and also invalidates the appropriate pages.  (This was a system reliabiliy
	and performance issue.)

10)	Modify FFS to use vtruncbuf.

vm_object.c:
11)	Make the object rundown mechanism for OBJT_VNODE type objects work
	more correctly.  Included in that fix, create pager entries for
	the OBJT_DEAD pager type, so that paging requests that might slip
	in during race conditions are properly handled.  (This was a system
	reliability issue.)

vm_page.c:
12)	Make some of the page validation routines be a little less picky
	about arguments passed to them.  Also, support page invalidation
	change the object generation count so that we handle generation
	counts a little more robustly.

vm_pageout.c:
13)	Further reduce pageout daemon activity when the system doesn't
	need help from it.  There should be no additional performance
	decrease even when the pageout daemon is running.  (This was
	a significant performance issue.)

vnode_pager.c:
14)	Teach the vnode pager to handle race conditions during vnode
	deallocations.

8f9110f6a1 This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There
has been some bitrot and incorrect assumptions in the vfs_bio code.  These
problems have manifest themselves worse on NFS type filesystems, but can
still affect local filesystems under certain circumstances.  Most of
the problems have involved mmap consistancy, and as a side-effect broke
the vfs.ioopt code.  This code might have been committed seperately, but
almost everything is interrelated.

1)	Allow (pmap_object_init_pt) prefaulting of buffer-busy pages that
	are fully valid.
2)	Rather than deactivating erroneously read initial (header) pages in
	kern_exec, we now free them.
3)	Fix the rundown of non-VMIO buffers that are in an inconsistent
	(missing vp) state.
4)	Fix the disassociation of pages from buffers in brelse.  The previous
	code had rotted and was faulty in a couple of important circumstances.
5)	Remove a gratuitious buffer wakeup in vfs_vmio_release.
6)	Remove a crufty and currently unused cluster mechanism for VBLK
	files in vfs_bio_awrite.  When the code is functional, I'll add back
	a cleaner version.
7)	The page busy count wakeups assocated with the buffer cache usage were
	incorrectly cleaned up in a previous commit by me.  Revert to the
	original, correct version, but with a cleaner implementation.
8)	The cluster read code now tries to keep data associated with buffers
	more aggressively (without breaking the heuristics) when it is presumed
	that the read data (buffers) will be soon needed.
9)	Change to filesystem lockmgr locks so that they use LK_NOPAUSE.  The
	delay loop waiting is not useful for filesystem locks, due to the
	length of the time intervals.
10)	Correct and clean-up spec_getpages.
11)	Implement a fully functional nfs_getpages, nfs_putpages.
12)	Fix nfs_write so that modifications are coherent with the NFS data on
	the server disk (at least as well as NFS seems to allow.)
13)	Properly support MS_INVALIDATE on NFS.
14)	Properly pass down MS_INVALIDATE to lower levels of the VM code from
	vm_map_clean.
15)	Better support the notion of pages being busy but valid, so that
	fewer in-transit waits occur.  (use p->busy more for pageouts instead
	of PG_BUSY.)  Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for
	reads.
16)	It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy.  Make the
	page allocation code handle that case correctly.  (It should probably
	be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors
	robustly.  I'll probably add a printf.)
17)	Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep.  It didn't handle
	consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less
	lofty.  After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important
	to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and
	verify it's status (always.)
18)	In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up.
19)	Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush.
20)	Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag
	instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.
