appropriate privilege outside of jail. Preventing hostname renaming
from within a jail is currently required to make jails manageable, as they

modified without this sysctl being set to 0. This will be documented
in upcoming man commits.

vclean calls vrele leading to deadlock (if usecount > 0)
vclean() calls vrele() if v_usecount of the node was higher than one.
But before calling it, it sets the VXLOCK flag, which will make
vn_lock called from vrele dead-lock.

subr_diskmbr.c:
Don't "helpfully" enlarge our idea of the disk size to cover all the
primary slices. Instead, truncate or discard slices that don't seem
to be on the disk. The enlargement was a hack for disks that don't
report their size (e.g., MFM disks). It is just wrong in general.
wd.c:
In CHS mode, limit the disk size so that cylinder numbers >= 65536
cannot occur. This normally only affects disks larger than 33.8GB.
CHS mode accesses to addresses above the limit are now properly broken
(an error is returned instead of garbage for reads and disk corruption
for writes).

than 1GB of RAM. This is not a complete fix, but is sufficient for
machines with 4GB or less of memory. A complete fix will require some
changes to the getenv stuff so that 64bit values can be passed around.
NOT FIXED: machines with more than 4GB of RAM (e.g. some large Alphas)

Using recursion to traverse the recursive data structure for extended
partitions was never good, but when slice support was implemented in
1995, the recursion worked for the default maximum number of slices
(32), and standard fdisk utilities didn't support creating more than
the default number. Even then, corrupt extended partitions could
cause endless recursion, because we attempt to check all slices, even
ones which we don't turn into devices.
The recursion has succumbed to creeping features. The stack requirements
for each level had grown to 204 bytes on i386's. Most of the growth was
caused by adding a 64-byte copy of the DOSpartition table to each frame.
The kernel stack size has shrunk to about 5K on i386's. Most of the
shrinkage was caused by the growth of `struct sigacts' by 2388 bytes
to support 128 signals.
Linux fdisk (a 1997 version at least) can now create 60 slices (4 standard
ones, 56 for logical drives within extended partitions, and it seems to
be leaving room to map the 4 BSD partitions on my test drive), and Linux
(2.2.29 and 2.3.35 at least) now reports all these slices at boot time.
The fix limits the recursion to 16 levels (4 + 16 slices) and recovers
32 bytes per level caused by gcc pessimizing for space. Switching to
a static buffer doesn't cause any problems due to recursion, since the
buffer is not passed down. Using a static buffer is wrong in general
because it requires the giant lock to protect it. However, this problem
is small compared with using a static buffer for dsname(). We sometimes
neglect to copy the result of dsname() before sleeping.
Also fixed slice names when we find more than MAX_SLICES (32) slices.
The number of the last slice found was not passed passed recursively.
The limit on the recursion now prevents finding more than 32 slices
with a standard extended partition data structure anyway.

1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it
was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to
disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode.
2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the
bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is
copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original
available for futher allocations.
3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and
i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink
need not be written.

it only on the buf_daemon process). The problem is that when the
syncer process starts running the worklist, it wants to delete
lots of files. It does this by VFS_VGET'ing the vnodes, clearing
the blocks in them and bdwrite'ing the buffer. It can process close
to a thousand files per second which generates a large number of
dirty buffers. So, giving it special priviledge at the buffer trough
leads to trouble as the buf_daemon does occationally need a free
buffer to proceed and if the syncer has used every last one up,
we are toast.
