58941b9f15 Restructuring of the soft updates code to set it up so that the
single kernel-wide soft update lock can be replaced with a
per-filesystem soft-updates lock. This per-filesystem lock will
allow each filesystem to have its own soft-updates flushing thread
rather than being limited to a single soft-updates flushing thread
for the entire kernel.

Move soft update variables out of the ufsmount structure and into
their own mount_softdeps structure referenced by ufsmount field
um_softdep.  Eventually the per-filesystem lock will be in this
structure. For now there is simply a pointer to the kernel-wide
soft updates lock.

Change all instances of ACQUIRE_LOCK and FREE_LOCK to pass the lock
pointer in the mount_softdeps structure instead of a pointer to the
kernel-wide soft-updates lock.

Replace the five hash tables used by soft updates with per-filesystem
copies of these tables allocated in the mount_softdeps structure.

Several functions that flush dependencies when too many are allocated
in the kernel used to operate across all filesystems. They are now
parameterized to flush dependencies from a specified filesystem.
For now, we stick with the round-robin flushing strategy when the
kernel as a whole has too many dependencies allocated.

While there are many lines of changes, there should be no functional
change in the operation of soft updates.

7008be5bd7 Change the cap_rights_t type from uint64_t to a structure that we can extend
in the future in a backward compatible (API and ABI) way.

The cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to
represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new
structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous
cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285
rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough.

The structure definition looks like this:

	struct cap_rights {
		uint64_t	cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2];
	};

The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0.

The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total
number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to
0, we have 2 array elements.

The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0.
The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is
used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means
there can be at most five array elements in the future.

To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two
arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg.

	#define	CAP_PDKILL	CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL)

We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong
to the same array element, eg:

	#define	CAP_LOOKUP	CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL)
	#define	CAP_FCHMOD	CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL)

	#define	CAP_FCHMODAT	(CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP)

There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure:

	cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
	void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
	void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
	bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...);

	bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights);
	void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
	void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
	bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little);

Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(),
cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by
separating them with commas, eg:

	cap_rights_t rights;

	cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT);

There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are
actually macros that take care of the termination, eg:

	#define	cap_rights_set(rights, ...)				\
		__cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL)
	void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);

Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that
there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided
together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP
belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1:

	cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL);

Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is
correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition.

This commit also breaks compatibility with some existing Capsicum system calls,
but I see no other way to do that. This should be fine as Capsicum is still
experimental and this change is not going to 9.x.

28702816d8 A performance problem was reported in PR kern/181226:
I have 25TB Dell PERC 6 RAID5 array. When it becomes almost
    full (10-20GB free), processes which write data to it start
    eating 100% CPU and write speed drops below 1MB/sec (normally
    to gives 400MB/sec). The revision at which it first became
    apparent was http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/249782.

The offending change reserved an area in each cylinder group to
store metadata. The new algorithm attempts to save this area for
metadata and allows its use for non-metadata only after all the
data areas have been exhausted. The size of the reserved area
defaults to half of minfree, so the filesystem reports full before
the data area can completely fill. However, in this report, the
filesystem has had minfree reduced to 1% thus forcing the metadata
area to be used for data. As the filesystem approached full, it
had only metadata areas left to allocate. The result was that
every block allocation had to scan summary data for 30,000 cylinder
groups before falling back to searching up to 30,000 metadata areas.

The fix is to give up on saving the metadata areas once the free
space reserve drops below 2%. The effect of this change is to use
the old algorithm of just accepting the first available block that
we find. Since most filesystems use the default 5% minfree, this
will have no effect on their operation. For those that want to push
to the limit, they will get their crappy block placements quickly.

cc3d8c35f5 There are several code sequences like
vfs_busy(mp);
      vfs_write_suspend(mp);
which are problematic if other thread starts unmount between two
calls.  The unmount starts a write, while vfs_write_suspend() drain
writers.  On the other hand, unmount drains busy references, causing
the deadlock.

Add a flag argument to vfs_write_suspend and require the callers of it
to specify VS_SKIP_UNMOUNT flag, when the call is performed not in the
mount path, i.e. the covered vnode is not locked.  The suspension is
not attempted if VS_SKIP_UNMOUNT is specified and unmount is in
progress.

cd861931e6 The code in clear_remove() and clear_inodedeps() skips one entry
in the pagedep and inodedep hash tables. An entry in the table is
skipped because 'pagedep_hash' and 'inodedep_hash' hold the size
of the hash tables - 1.

The chance that this would have any operational failure is extremely
unlikely. These funtions only need to find a single entry and are
only called when there are too many entries. The chance that they
would fail because all the entries are on the single skipped hash
chain are remote.

baa12a84a7 The purpose of this change to the FFS layout policy is to reduce the
running time for a full fsck. It also reduces the random access time
for large files and speeds the traversal time for directory tree walks.

The key idea is to reserve a small area in each cylinder group
immediately following the inode blocks for the use of metadata,
specifically indirect blocks and directory contents. The new policy
is to preferentially place metadata in the metadata area and
everything else in the blocks that follow the metadata area.

The size of this area can be set when creating a filesystem using
newfs(8) or changed in an existing filesystem using tunefs(8).
Both utilities use the `-k held-for-metadata-blocks' option to
specify the amount of space to be held for metadata blocks in each
cylinder group. By default, newfs(8) sets this area to half of
minfree (typically 4% of the data area).

This work was inspired by a paper presented at Usenix's FAST '13:
www.usenix.org/conference/fast13/ffsck-fast-file-system-checker

Details of this implementation appears in the April 2013 of ;login:

89f6b8632c Switch the vm_object mutex to be a rwlock. This will enable in the
future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held
in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages
are accessed for reading purposes.

The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported:
* The KPI changes as follow:
  - VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK()
  - VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK()
  - VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
  - VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()
    (in order to avoid visibility of implementation details)
  - The read-mode operations are added:
    VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
    VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
  sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
  using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
  consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
  the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
  versions must be avoided.
  At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
  directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.

The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit.  Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

94f4ac214c An inode block must not be blockingly read while cg block is owned.
The order is inode buffer lock -> snaplk -> cg buffer lock, reversing
the order causes deadlocks.

Inode block must not be written while cg block buffer is owned. The
FFS copy on write needs to allocate a block to copy the content of the
inode block, and the cylinder group selected for the allocation might
be the same as the owned cg block.  The reserved block detection code
in the ffs_copyonwrite() and ffs_bp_snapblk() is unable to detect the
situation, because the locked cg buffer is not exposed to it.

In order to maintain the dependency between initialized inode block
and the cg_initediblk pointer, look up the inode buffer in
non-blocking mode. If succeeded, brelse cg block, initialize the inode
block and write it.  After the write is finished, reread cg block and
update the cg_initediblk.

If inode block is already locked by another thread, let the another
thread initialize it.  If another thread raced with us after we
started writing inode block, the situation is detected by an update of
cg_initediblk.  Note that double-initialization of the inode block is
harmless, the block cannot be used until cg_initediblk is incremented.

7839b23f00 The UFS2 filesystem allocates new blocks of inodes as they are needed.
When a cylinder group runs short of inodes, a new block for inodes is
allocated, zero'ed, and written to the disk. The zero'ed inodes must
be on the disk before the cylinder group can be updated to claim them.
If the cylinder group claiming the new inodes were written before the
zero'ed block of inodes, the system could crash with the filesystem in
an unrecoverable state.

Rather than adding a soft updates dependency to ensure that the new
inode block is written before it is claimed by the cylinder group
map, we just do a barrier write of the zero'ed inode block to ensure
that it will get written before the updated cylinder group map can
be written. This change should only slow down bulk loading of newly
created filesystems since that is the primary time that new inode
blocks need to be created.

fe85d98a5b For UFS2 i_blocks is unsigned. The current "sanity" check that it
has gone below zero after the blocks in its inode are freed is a
no-op which the compiler fails to warn about because of the use of
the DIP macro. Change the sanity check to compare the number of
blocks being freed against the value i_blocks. If the number of
blocks being freed exceeds i_blocks, just set i_blocks to zero.

f99cb34c4f The process_deferred_inactive() function locks the vnodes of the ufs
mount, which means that is must not be called while the snaplock is
owned.  The vfs_write_resume(9) does call the function as the
VFS_SUSP_CLEAN() method, which is too early and falls into the region
still protected by snaplock.

Add yet another flag for the vfs_write_resume_flags() to avoid calling
suspension cleanup handler after the suspend is lifted, and use it in
the ffs_snapshot() call to vfs_write_resume.

91e9474552 Make it possible to atomically resume writes on the mount and account
the write start, by adding a variation of the vfs_write_resume(9)
which accepts flags.

Use the new function to prevent a deadlock between parallel suspension
and snapshotting a UFS mount.  The ffs_snapshot() code performed
vfs_write_resume() followed by vn_start_write() while owning the
snaplock.  If the suspension intervene between resume and
vn_start_write(), the deadlock occured after the suspending thread
tried to lock the snaplock, most typically during the write in the
ffs_copyonwrite().

b1308d72c2 Fixup r218424: uio_yield() was scaling directly to userland priority.
When kern_yield() was introduced with the possibility to specify
a new priority, the behaviour changed by not lowering priority at all
in the consumers, making the yielding mechanism highly ineffective for
high priority kthreads like bufdaemon, syncer, vlrudaemon, etc.
There are no evidences that consumers could bear with such change in
semantic and this situation could finally lead to bugs similar to the
ones fixed in r244240.
Re-specify userland pri for kthreads involved.

c6e0355cee r16312 is not any longer real since many years (likely since when VFS
received granular locking) but the comment present in UFS has been
copied all over other filesystems code incorrectly for several times.

Removes comments that makes no sense now.
