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.

the kernel allocated a buffer but did not zero it as it was about
to be completely filled by a uiomove() from the user's buffer.
However, if the uiomove() failed, the old contents of the buffer
could be exposed especially if the file was being mmap'ed. The
fix was to always zero the buffer when it was allocated.
This change first attempts the uiomove() to the newly allocated
(and dirty) buffer and only zeros it if the uiomove() fails. The
effect is to eliminate the gratuitous zeroing of the buffer in
the usual case where the uiomove() successfully fills it.

every 30 seconds. This spike in I/O caused the system to pause every
30 seconds which was quite annoying. So, the way that sync worked
was changed so that when a vnode was first dirtied, it was put on
a 30-second cleaning queue (see the syncer_workitem_pending queues
in kern/vfs_subr.c). If the file has not been written or deleted
after 30 seconds, the syncer pushes it out. As the syncer runs once
per second, dirty files are trickled out slowly over the 30-second
period instead of all at once by a call to sync(2).
The one drawback to this is that it does not cover the filesystem
metadata. To handle the metadata, vfs_allocate_syncvnode() is called
to create a "filesystem syncer vnode" at mount time which cycles
around the cleaning queue being sync'ed every 30 seconds. In the
original design, the only things it would sync for UFS were the
filesystem metadata: inode blocks, cylinder group bitmaps, and the
superblock (e.g., by VOP_FSYNC'ing devvp, the device vnode from
which the filesystem is mounted).
Somewhere in its path to integration with FreeBSD the flushing of
the filesystem syncer vnode got changed to sync every vnode associated
with the filesystem. The result of this change is to return to the
old filesystem-wide flush every 30-seconds behavior and makes the
whole 30-second delay per vnode useless.
This change goes back to the originally intended trickle out sync
behavior. Key to ensuring that all the intended semantics are
preserved (e.g., that all inode updates get flushed within a bounded
period of time) is that all inode modifications get pushed to their
corresponding inode blocks so that the metadata flush by the
filesystem syncer vnode gets them to the disk in a timely way.

While there, remove a useless check from the code. memcchr() always
returns characters unequal to 0xff in this case, so inosused[i] ^ 0xff
can never be equal to zero. Also, the fact that memcchr() returns a
pointer instead of the number of bytes until the end, makes conversion
to an offset far more easy.
The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of

to resolve errors which can cause corruption on recovery with the old
synchronous mechanism.
- Append partial truncation freework structures to indirdeps while
truncation is proceeding. These prevent new block pointers from
becoming valid until truncation completes and serialize truncations.
- On completion of a partial truncate journal work waits for zeroed
pointers to hit indirects.
- softdep_journal_freeblocks() handles last frag allocation and last
block zeroing.
- vtruncbuf/ffs_page_remove moved into softdep_*_freeblocks() so it
is only implemented in one place.
- Block allocation failure handling moved up one level so it does not
proceed with buf locks held. This permits us to do more extensive
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
more generally and does not loop excessively over the same worklist
items on each call.
- Don't corrupt directories by zeroing the tail in fsck. This is only
done for regular files.
- Push a fsync complete record for files that need it so the checker
knows a truncation in the journal is no longer valid.
