- Remove softdep worklist processing from the syncer and move it into the

once each second and when it is called via the new softdep_speedup()

from the kernel and various hacks in header files to support it.

Now that Giant is acquired in uprintf() and tprintf(), the caller no
longer leads to acquire Giant unless it also holds another mutex that
would generate a lock order reversal when calling into these functions.
Specifically not backed out is the acquisition of Giant in nfs_socket.c
and rpcclnt.c, where local mutexes are held and would otherwise violate
the lock order with Giant.
This aligns this code more with the eventual locking of ttys.
Suggested by: bde
as they both interact with the tty code (!MPSAFE) and may sleep if the
tty buffer is full (per comment).
Modify all consumers of uprintf() and tprintf() to hold Giant around
calls into these functions. In most cases, this means adding an
acquisition of Giant immediately around the function. In some cases
(nfs_timer()), it means acquiring Giant higher up in the callout.
With these changes, UFS no longer panics on SMP when either blocks are
exhausted or inodes are exhausted under load due to races in the tty
code when running without Giant.
NB: Some reduction in calls to uprintf() in the svr4 code is probably
desirable.
NB: In the case of nfs_timer(), calling uprintf() while holding a mutex,
or even in a callout at all, is a bad idea, and will generate warnings
and potential upset. This needs to be fixed, but was a problem before
this change.
NB: uprintf()/tprintf() sleeping is generally a bad ideas, as is having
non-MPSAFE tty code.

very slow process, especially for large file systems that is just
recovered from a crash.
Since the summary is already re-sync'ed every 30 second, we will
not lag behind too much after a crash. With this consideration
in mind, it is more reasonable to transfer the responsibility to
background fsck, to reduce the delay after a crash.
Add a new sysctl variable, vfs.ffs.compute_summary_at_mount, to
control this behavior. When set to nonzero, we will get the
"old" behavior, that the summary is computed immediately at mount
time.
Add five new sysctl variables to adjust ndir, nbfree, nifree,
nffree and numclusters respectively. Teach fsck_ffs about these
API, however, intentionally not to check the existence, since
kernels without these sysctls must have recomputed the summary
and hence no adjustments are necessary.
This change has eliminated the usual tens of minutes of delay of
mounting large dirty volumes.

This eliminates a bunch of vnode overhead (approx 1-2 % speed
improvement) and gives us more control over the access to the storage
device.
Access counts on the underlying device are not correctly tracked and
therefore it is possible to read-only mount the same disk device multiple
times:
syv# mount -p
/dev/md0 /var ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad0 /mnt ufs ro 1 1
/dev/ad0 /mnt2 ufs ro 1 1
/dev/ad0 /mnt3 ufs ro 1 1
Since UFS/FFS is not a synchrousely consistent filesystem (ie: it caches
things in RAM) this is not possible with read-write mounts, and the system
will correctly reject this.
Details:
Add a geom consumer and a bufobj pointer to ufsmount.
Eliminate the vnode argument from softdep_disk_prewrite().
Pick the vnode out of bp->b_vp for now. Eventually we
should find it through bp->b_bufobj->b_private.
In the mountcode, use g_vfs_open() once we have used
VOP_ACCESS() to check permissions.
When upgrading and downgrading between r/o and r/w do the
right thing with GEOM access counts. Remove all the
workarounds for not being able to do this with VOP_OPEN().
If we are the root mount, drop the exclusive access count
until we upgrade to r/w. This allows fsck of the root
filesystem and the MNT_RELOAD to work correctly.
Set bo_private to the GEOM consumer on the device bufobj.
Change the ffs_ops->strategy function to call g_vfs_strategy()
In ufs_strategy() directly call the strategy on the disk
bufobj. Same in rawread.
In ffs_fsync() we will no longer see VCHR device nodes, so
remove code which synced the filesystem mounted on it, in
case we came there. I'm not sure this code made sense in
the first place since we would have taken the specfs route
on such a vnode.

"freeing free inode". The problem arises when the snapshot code
is scanning the filesystem looking for inodes with a reference
count of zero (e.g., unlinked but still open) so that it can
expunge them from its view. If it encounters a reclaimed vnode
and has to restart its scan, then it will panic if it encounters

is to check each candidate inode to see if it has already been
processed before trying to delete it from the snapshot image.

Idea stolen from: BSD/OS
As this code is not actually used by any of the existing
interfaces, it seems unlikely to break anything (famous
last words).
The internal kernel interface to manipulate these attributes
is invoked using two new IO_ flags: IO_NORMAL and IO_EXT.
These flags may be specified in the ioflags word of VOP_READ,
VOP_WRITE, and VOP_TRUNCATE. Specifying IO_NORMAL means that
you want to do I/O to the normal data part of the file and
IO_EXT means that you want to do I/O to the extended attributes
part of the file. IO_NORMAL and IO_EXT are mutually exclusive
for VOP_READ and VOP_WRITE, but may be specified individually
or together in the case of VOP_TRUNCATE. For example, when
removing a file, VOP_TRUNCATE is called with both IO_NORMAL
and IO_EXT set. For backward compatibility, if neither IO_NORMAL
nor IO_EXT is set, then IO_NORMAL is assumed.
Note that the BA_ and IO_ flags have been `merged' so that they
may both be used in the same flags word. This merger is possible
by assigning the IO_ flags to the low sixteen bits and the BA_
flags the high sixteen bits. This works because the high sixteen
bits of the IO_ word is reserved for read-ahead and help with
write clustering so will never be used for flags. This merge
lets us get away from code of the form:
if (ioflags & IO_SYNC)
flags |= BA_SYNC;
For the future, I have considered adding a new field to the
vattr structure, va_extsize. This addition could then be
exported through the stat structure to allow applications to
find out the size of the extended attribute storage and also
would provide a more standard interface for truncating them
(via VOP_SETATTR rather than VOP_TRUNCATE).
I am also contemplating adding a pathconf parameter (for
concreteness, lets call it _PC_MAX_EXTSIZE) which would
let an application determine the maximum size of the extended
atribute storage.

out of inodes in a cylinder group would fail to check for
free inodes in other cylinder groups. This bug was introduced
in the UFS2 code merge two days ago.
An inode is allocated by calling ffs_valloc which calls
ffs_hashalloc to do the filesystem scan. Ffs_hashalloc
walks around the cylinder groups calling its passed allocator
(ffs_nodealloccg in this case) until the allocator returns a
non-zero result. The bug is that ffs_hashalloc expects the
passed allocator function to return a 64-bit ufs2_daddr_t.
When allocating inodes, it calls ffs_nodealloccg which was
returning a 32-bit ino_t. The ffs_hashalloc code checked
a 64-bit return value and usually found random non-zero bits in
the high 32-bits so decided that the allocation had succeeded
(in this case in the only cylinder group that it checked).
When the result was passed back to ffs_valloc it looked at
only the bottom 32-bits, saw zero and declared the system
out of inodes. But ffs_hashalloc had really only checked
one cylinder group.
The fix is to change ffs_nodealloccg to return 64-bit results.

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
