d26105a9ce Fixed null pointer panics which I introduced in rev.1.86. Vnodes
may be revoked, so vnop routines must be careful about accessing
the vnode if they may have blocked.

Fixed marking for update after successfully reading or writing 0
bytes.  In this case, POSIX.1 specifies marking if and only if the
requested count is nonzero, but rev.1.86 never marked.

e36b4f594a Use only the correct raw partition for writing labels. Don't use the
partition that the label ioctl is being done on just because it has
offset 0, since there is no guarantee that such a partition is large
enough to contain the label.  Don't use the wrong raw partition (0
instead of RAW_PART).

This fixes problems rewriting bizarre labels (with a nonzero offset
for the 'a' partition) in newfs(8).  Such labels shouldn't normally
be used, but creating them was allowed if the ioctl was done on the
raw partition, and sysinstall creates them if the root partition isn't
allocated first.

Note that allowing write access to a partition other than the one that
has been checked for write access doesn't increase security holes
significantly, since write access to any partition already allows
changing the in-core label.

This fix should be in 3.0R.  Rev.1.26 of newfs/newfs.c shouldn't be
in 3.0R.

d2165c2f7d Fixed bloatage of `struct inode'. We used 5 "spare" fields for ext2fs,
but when i_effnlink was added to support soft updates, there was only
room for 4 spares.  The number of spares was not reduced, so the inode
size became 260 (on i386's), or 512 after rounding up by malloc().
Use one spare field in `struct dinode' instead of the 5th spare field
in the inode and reduced to 4 spares in the inode so that the size is
256 again.

Changed the types of the spares in the inode from int to u_int32_t
so that the inode size has more chance of being <= 256 under other
arches, and downdated ext2fs to match (it was broken to use ints
before rev.1.1).

ed8d80c2de Fix 'noatime' bug that was unrelated to use of noatime.
The problem is caused when a directory block is compacted.  When this
occurs, softdep_change_directoryentry_offset() is called to relocate each
directory entry and adjust its matching diradd structure, if any, to match
the new location of the entry.  The bug is that while
softdep_change_directoryentry_offset() correctly adjusts the offsets of
the diradd structures on the pd_diraddhd[] lists (which are not yet ready
to be committed to disk), it fails to adjust the offsets of the diradd
structures on the pd_pendinghd list (which are ready to be committed to
disk).  This causes the dependency structures to be inconsistent with
the buf contents.  Now, if the compaction has moved a directory entry to
the same offset as one of the diradd structures on the pd_pendinghd list
*and* a syscall is done that tries to remove this directory entry before
this directory block has been written to disk (which would empty
pd_pendinghd), a sanity check in newdirrem() will call panic() when it
notices that the inode number in the entry that it is to be removed doesn't
match the inode number in the diradd structure with that offset of that
entry.

- set the clean flag on rw -> ro update of a mounted initially-clean

1874ef935c Quick fix for breakage of read clustering on non-IDE drives. Read
clustering is obsolescent technology so hardly anyone noticed.  On
a DORS 32160 SCSI drive with 4 tags, read clustering makes very
little difference even for huge sequential reads.  However, on a
ZIP SCSI drive with 0 tags, the minimum overhead per block is about
40 msec, so very large clusters must be used to get anywhere near
the maximum transfer rate.  Using clusters consisting of 1 8K block
reduces the transfer rate to about 250K/sec.  Under msdosfs, missing
read clustering is normal and a cluster size of 1 512 byte block
reduces the transfer rate to about 25K/sec.

9399d2c5ad Null change. Forgot to mention in previous log message that MNT_NOATIME
is now ignored for special files, so that mounting root with option
noatime doesn't break reporting of idle times in programs like `w'.
The problem of execessive disk updates just to stamp atimes will be
handled for special files by only writing atimes to disk when inodes
become active.  This works well because special files are relatively
uncommon and their atimes are even more disposable at panic time than
regular files' atimes.

2. never update file times for readonly filesystems.  They were updated
   for stats and closes but not for syncs.  The updates were of course
   only in-core and were thrown away when the inode was uncached, so
   the times sometimes appeared to go backwards.

Improved comments in code related to (1) (mostly by removing them).

b6dad36385 Change to stop a silly panic. This should be understood better.
Change a buffer swizzle trick to a bcopy. It would be nice if the efficient
trick could be used in the future.

c11d29814e try stop the user from using mount -u to set the async flag on
a filesystem currently using soft updates.
Also needs a new copy of ffs_softdep.c to complete the fix.

Minor fix to support SLICE in MFS...

7be2d30077 In the words of the submitter:
---------
Make callers of namei() responsible for releasing references or locks
instead of having the underlying filesystems do it.  This eliminates
redundancy in all terminal filesystems and makes it possible for stacked
transport layers such as umapfs or nullfs to operate correctly.

Quality testing was done with testvn, and lat_fs from the lmbench suite.

Some NFS client testing courtesy of Patrik Kudo.

vop_mknod and vop_symlink still release the returned vpp.  vop_rename
still releases 4 vnode arguments before it returns.  These remaining cases
will be corrected in the next set of patches.

79cc756d8b As described by the submitter:
Reverse the VFS_VRELE patch.  Reference counting of vnodes does not need
to be done per-fs.  I noticed this while fixing vfs layering violations.
Doing reference counting in generic code is also the preference cited by
John Heidemann in recent discussions with him.

The implementation of alternative vnode management per-fs is still a valid
requirement for some filesystems but will be revisited sometime later,
most likely using a different framework.

83ad4e3dbc Fix an error that I made with an optimization. In the case
of softupdates, we need to do vtruncbuf the old way.  Luoqi
caught, found the bug and submitted this fix.

3e425b968d Add changes and code to implement a functional DEVFS.
This code will be turned on with the TWO options
DEVFS and SLICE. (see LINT)
Two labels PRE_DEVFS_SLICE and POST_DEVFS_SLICE will deliniate these changes.

/dev will be automatically mounted by init (thanks phk)
on bootup. See /sys/dev/slice/slice.4 for more info.
All code should act the same without these options enabled.

Mike Smith, Poul Henning Kamp, Soeren, and a few dozen others

This code does not support the following:
bad144 handling.
Persistance. (My head is still hurting from the last time we discussed this)
ATAPI flopies are not handled by the SLICE code yet.

When this code is running, all major numbers are arbitrary and COULD
be dynamically assigned. (this is not done, for POLA only)
Minor numbers for disk slices ARE arbitray and dynamically assigned.
