we need to call ufs_checkpath() to walk from our new location to
the root of the filesystem to ensure that we do not encounter
ourselves along the way. Until now, we accomplished this by reading
the ".." entries of each directory in our path until we reached
the root (or encountered an error). This change tries to avoid the
I/O of reading the ".." entries by first looking them up in the
name cache and only doing the I/O when the name cache lookup fails.

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).

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.

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.

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.

(implemented by ffs_reallocblks_ufs[12]) relocates the file's blocks
so as to cluster them together into a contiguous set of blocks on
the disk.
When the cluster crosses the boundary into the first indirect block,
the first indirect block is initially allocated in a position
immediately following the last direct block. Block reallocation
would usually destroy locality by moving the indirect block out of
the way to keep the data blocks contiguous. This change compensates
for this problem by noting that the first indirect block should be
left immediately following the last direct block. It then tries
to start a new cluster of contiguous blocks (referenced by the
indirect block) immediately following the indirect block.
We should also do this for other indirect block boundaries, but it
is only important for the first one.

is a symmetric situation where the binary could already has file

Handle the issue by passing one v_writecount reference to the lower
vnode if nullfs vnode has non-zero v_writecount. Note that only one
write reference can be donated, since nullfs only keeps one use
reference on the lower vnode. Always use the lower vnode v_writecount
for the checks.
Introduce the VOP_GET_WRITECOUNT to read v_writecount, which is
currently always bypassed to the lower vnode, and VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT
to manipulate the v_writecount value, which manages a single bypass
reference to the lower vnode. Caling the VOPs instead of directly
accessing v_writecount provide the fix described in the previous

the filesystem size recorded in UFS superblock is equal to the provider

compatibility. On the other hand, in most cases growfs(8) cannot set
fs_size in the superblock to match the provider size, because, differently
from newfs(8), it cannot recompute cylinder group sizes.
To fix this problem, add another superblock field, fs_providersize, used
only for this purpose. The geom_label(4) will attach if either fs_size
(filesystem created with newfs(8)) or fs_providersize (filesystem expanded
using growfs(8)) matches the device size.

bmsafemap_lookup() respectively. The setup of these structures must

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.

quotas have those quotas queued to be written back to their

250,000 vnodes would be locked and inspected twice every minute

inspected six times every minute (twice by each of these three
routines since each of these routines does its own pass over the
vnodes associated with a mount point). With this change the syncer
now locks and inspects only the tiny set of vnodes that are active.
