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.

directory create and delete operations. If it ever finds a directory
with a link count less than 2, it panics. Thus, an rm -rf that
encounters a directory with a link count below 2 causes a kernel
panic. The proposed fix is to return the error EINVAL rather than
panicing. The effect is that the requested operation is not done,
but the system continues to run. At a more convenient later time,
the filesystem can be unmounted and cleaned (with fsck or journal
run). Once cleaned, the operation can be rerun to successful
completion.
This fix takes that approach. The panic message has been converted
into a uprintf(9) to provide the user with the inode number and
filesystem mount point of the offending directory and EINVAL is
returned for the operation.
The long (three year) delay in fixing this problem occurred because
the bug was misclassified when originally assigned and only this week
was found during a sweep of old unresolved bug reports.

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.

Reclaimed vnode type is VBAD, so succesful comparision like
devvp->v_type != VREG does not imply that the devvp references
snapshot, it might be due to a reclaimed vnode. Explicitely check the
vnode type.
In the the most important case of ffs_blkfree(), the devfs vnode is
locked and its type is stable. In other cases, if the vnode is
reclaimed right after the check, hopefully the buffer methods return

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.

truncation failed.
Doing so resulted in inconsistent state of the ufs dirhash with regard
to the actual directory inode state, and could lead to spurious ENOENT
errors for lookups of existing files in production kernels, or
assertion failures in the debugging kernels.
Change the logic of calling ufsdirhash_dirtrunc() to be same as in
ufs_direnter(). Execute UFS_TRUNCATE() first, log error, and only do
dirtrunc() if UFS_TRUNCATE() succeeded.
Note that the problem was exacerbated by the bug in the
flush_newblk_dep() function (see r305599), which caused in the spurios
errors from ffs_sync() and then ffs_truncate().

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
enabled for now.

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
unwound. As such, it is not enough to just release the buffers, the
pages must also invalidated and removed from the vnode vm_object
queue. Otherwise the pages might be found later and used to
reconstruct indirect buffers when doing allocations at offset close to
the failure point, and their stale content compromise the filesystem
integrity.
Note that just marking the buffer as B_INVAL is not enough, B_NOCACHE
