to not using IO_SYNC. Expose a sysctl (debug.ufs_extattr_sync) for
enabling the use of IO_SYNC.
- Use of IO_SYNC substantially degrades ACL performance when a
default ACL is set on a directory, as there are four synchronous
writes initiated to define both supporting EAs for new
sub-directories, and to set the data; two for new files. Later, this
may be optimized to two writes for sub-directories, one for new
files.
- IO_SYNC does not substantially improve consistency properties due
to the poor consistency properties of existing permissions (which
ACLs are a superset of), due to interaction with soft updates,
and due to differences in handling consistency for data and file
system meta-data.
- In macro-benchmarks, this reduces the overhead of setting default
ACLs down to the same overhead as enabling ACLs on a file system
and not using them. Enabling ACLs still introduces a small
overhead (I measure 7% on a -j 2 buildworld with pre-allocated
EA backing store, but this is not rigorous testing, nor in any way
optimized).
- The sysctl will probably change to another administration method
(or at least, a better name) in the near future, but consistency
properties of EAs are still being worked out. The toggle is defined
right now to allow easier performance analysis and exploration
of possible guarantees.

Don't use atomic operations for the stats updating, instead protect
the counts with the mbuf mutex. Most twiddling of the stats was
done right before or after releasing a mutex. By doing this we
reduce the number of locked ops needed as well as allow a sysctl
to gain a consitant view of the entire stats structure.
In the future...
This will allow us to chain common mbuf operations that would
normally need to aquire/release 2 or 3 of the locks to build an
mbuf with a cluster or external data attached into a single op
requiring only one lock.
Simplify the per-cpu locks that are planned.
There's also some if (1) code that should check if the "how"
operation specifies blocking/non-blocking behavior, we _could_ make
it so that we hold onto the mutex through calls into kmem_alloc
when non-blocking requests are made, but for safety reasons we
currently drop and reaquire the mutex around the calls.
Also, note that calling kmem_alloc is rare and only happens during
a shortage so drop/re-getting the mutex will not be a common
occurance.
Remove some #define's that seemed to obfuscate the code to me.

SIGCHLD to our parent process. Otherwise, we could block while obtaining
the process lock for our parent process and switch out while we were

on our p_stat will be SRUN, not SSTOP.

under heavy use when default ACLs were bgin inherited by new files
or directories. This is done by removing a bug in default ACL
reading, and improving error handling for this failure case:
- Move the setting of the buffer length (len) variable to above the
ACL type (ap->a_type) switch rather than having it only for
ACL_TYPE_ACCESS. Otherwise, the len variable is unitialized in
the ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT case, which generally worked right, but could
result in failure.
- Add a check for a short/long read of the ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT type from
the underlying EA, resulting in EPERM rather than passing a
potentially corrupted ACL back to the caller (resulting "cleaner"
failures if the EA is damaged: right now, the caller will almost
always panic in the presence of a corrupted EA). This code is similar
to code in the ACL_TYPE_ACCESS handling in the previous switch case.
- While I'm fixing this code, remove a redundant bzero() of the ACL
reader buffer; it need only be initialized above the acl_type
switch.
