When a background copy of a cg is written we complete any work associated
with that bmsafemap. If new work has been added to the non-background
copy of the buffer it will be completed before the next write happens.
The solution is to do the rollbacks when we make the copy so only those
dependencies that were present at the time of writing will be completed
when the background write completes. This would've resulted in various
bitmap related corruptions and panics. It also would've expired journal
entries early causing journal replay to miss some records.

and bmsafemap dependency structures in inodedep_lookup() and
bmsafemap_lookup() respectively. The setup of these structures must
be done while holding the soft-dependency mutex. If the inodedep is
allocated first, it may be freed in the I/O completion callback when
the mutex is released to allocate the bmsafemap. If the bmsafemap is
allocated first, it may be freed in the I/O completion callback when
the mutex is released to allocate the inodedep.
To resolve this problem, bmsafemap_lookup has had a parameter added
that allows a pre-malloc'ed bmsafemap to be passed in so that it does
not need to release the mutex to create a new bmsafemap. The
softdep_setup_inomapdep() routine pre-malloc's a bmsafemap dependency
before acquiring the mutex and starting to build the inodedep with a
call to inodedep_lookup(). The subsequent call to bmsafemap_lookup()
is passed this pre-allocated bmsafemap entry so that it need not
release the mutex if it needs to create a new one.

The primary changes are that the user of the interface no longer
needs to manage the mount-mutex locking and that the vnode that
is returned has its mutex locked (thus avoiding the need to check
to see if its is DOOMED or other possible end of life senarios).
To minimize compatibility issues for third-party developers, the
old MNT_VNODE_FOREACH interface will remain available so that this
change can be MFC'ed to 9. Following the MFC to 9, MNT_VNODE_FOREACH
will be removed in head.
The reason for this update is to prepare for the addition of the
MNT_VNODE_FOREACH_ACTIVE interface that will loop over just the
active vnodes associated with a mount point (typically less than
1% of the vnodes associated with the mount point).

and it is no longer referenced by a user process. The inode for a
file whose name has been removed, but is still referenced at the
time of a crash will still be allocated in the filesystem, but will
have no references (e.g., they will have no names referencing them
from any directory).
With traditional soft updates these unreferenced inodes will be
found and reclaimed when the background fsck is run. When using
journaled soft updates, the kernel must keep track of these inodes
so that it can find and reclaim them during the cleanup process.
Their existence cannot be stored in the journal as the journal only
handles short-term events, and they may persist for days. So, they
are tracked by keeping them in a linked list whose head pointer is
stored in the superblock. The journal tracks them only until their
linked list pointers have been commited to disk. Part of the cleanup
process involves traversing the list of unreferenced inodes and
reclaiming them.
This bug was triggered when confusion arose in the commit steps
of keeping the unreferenced-inode linked list coherent on disk.
Notably, a race between the link() system call adding a link-count
to a file and the unlink() system call removing a link-count to
the file. Here if the unlink() ran after link() had looked up
the file but before link() had incremented the link-count of the
file, the file's link-count would drop to zero before the link()
incremented it back up to one. If the file was referenced by a
user process, the first transition through zero made it appear
that it should be added to the unreferenced-inode list when in
fact it should not have been added. If the new name created by
link() was deleted within a few seconds (with the file still
referenced by a user process) it would legitimately be a candidate
for addition to the unreferenced-inode list. The result was that
there were two attempts to add the same inode to the unreferenced-inode
list which scrambled the unreferenced-inode list's pointers leading
to a panic. The fix is to detect and avoid the false attempt at
adding it to the unreferenced-inode list by having the link()
system call check to see if the link count is zero before it
increments it. If it is, the link() fails with ENOENT (showing that
it has failed the link()/unlink() race).
While tracking down this bug, we have added additional assertions
to detect the problem sooner and also simplified some of the code.

snapshots on UFS filesystems running with journaled soft updates.
This is the first of several bugs that need to be fixed before
removing the restriction added in -r230250 to prevent the use
of snapshots on filesystems running with journaled soft updates.
The deadlock occurs when holding the snapshot lock (snaplk)
and then trying to flush an inode via ffs_update(). We become
blocked by another process trying to flush a different inode
contained in the same inode block that we need. It holds the
inode block for which we are waiting locked. When it tries to
write the inode block, it gets blocked waiting for the our
snaplk when it calls ffs_copyonwrite() to see if the inode
block needs to be copied in our snapshot.
The most obvious place that this deadlock arises is in the
ffs_copyonwrite() routine when it updates critical metadata
in a snapshot and tries to write it out before proceeding.
The fix here is to write the data and indirect block pointer
for the snapshot, but to skip the call to ffs_update() to
write the snapshot inode. To ensure that we will never have
to update a pointer in the inode itself, the ffs_snapshot()
routine that creates the snapshot has to ensure that all the
direct blocks are allocated as part of the creation of the
snapshot.
A less obvious place that this deadlock occurs is when we hold
the snaplk because we are deleting a snapshot. In the course of
doing the deletion, we need to allocate various soft update
dependency structures and allocate some journal space. If we
hit a resource limit while doing this we decrease the resources
in use by flushing out an existing dirty file to get it to give
up the soft dependency resources that it holds. The flush can
cause an ffs_update() to be done on the inode for the file that
we have selected to flush resulting in the same deadlock as
described above when the inode that we have chosen to flush
resides in the same inode block as the snapshot inode that we hold.
The fix is to defer cleaning up any time that the inode on which
we are operating is a snapshot.

- Block allocation failure handling moved up one level so it does not

reclaims when filesystem space is exhausted.
- softdep_sync_metadata() is broken into two parts, the first executes
once at the start of ffs_syncvnode() and flushes truncations and
inode dependencies. The second is called on each locked buf. This
eliminates excessive looping and rollbacks.
- Improve the mechanism in process_worklist_item() that handles
acquiring vnode locks for handle_workitem_remove() so that it works
