Another thread, typically the buf daemon, may have this buf locked and

We had previously tried to flush all MKDIR_PARENT dependencies (and
all the NEWBLOCK pagedeps) by calling ffs_update(). However this will
only resolve these dependencies in direct blocks. So very large
directories with MKDIR_PARENT dependencies in indirect blocks had
not yet gotten flushed. As the directory is in the midst of doing a
complete sync, we simply defer the checking of the MKDIR_PARENT
dependencies until the indirect blocks have been sync'ed.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
