vnode creation globaly, we allow processes to create vnodes concurently.
In case of concurent creation of vnode for the one ino, we allow processes
to race and then check who wins.
Assuming that concurent creation of vnode for same ino is really rare case,
this is belived to be an improvement, as it just allows concurent creation
of vnodes.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

provided the latter is nonzero. At this point, the former is a fairly
arbitrary default value (DFTPHYS), so changing it to any reasonable
value specified by the device driver is safe. Using the maximum of
these limits broke ffs clustered i/o for devices whose si_iosize_max
is < DFLTPHYS. Using the minimum would break device drivers' ability
to increase the active limit from DFTLPHYS up to MAXPHYS.
Copied the code for this and the associated (unnecessary?) fixup of
mp_iosize_max to all other filesystems that use clustering (ext2fs and

2) The last stage of the FNV hash is to xor the last byte of data

locking flags when acquiring a vnode. The immediate purpose is
to allow polling lock requests (LK_NOWAIT) needed by soft updates

the background cleanup. For the future it will allow the use of

that the VOP_BMAP vnode operation accept and return daddr64_t

UFS2 which will use 64-bit block addresses.

directory blocks when the free space dropped below the size of the
maximum allowed entry size. When this happened, the free-space
summary information could claim that there are no further blocks

The effect of this bug is that the directory may be enlarged even
though there is space within the directory for the new entry. This
wastes disk space and has a negative impact on performance.
Fix it by correctly computing the dh_firstfree array index, adding

which small and/or nearly full filesystems would fail with `file
system full' messages when trying to replace a number of existing
files (for example during a system installation). When the allocation
routines are about to fail with a file system full condition, they
make a call to softdep_request_cleanup() which attempts to accelerate
the flushing of pending deletion requests in an effort to free up
space. In the face of filesystem I/O requests that exceed the
available disk transfer capacity, the cleanup request could take
an unbounded amount of time. Thus, the softdep_request_cleanup()
routine will only try for tickdelay seconds (default 2 seconds)
before giving up and returning a filesystem full error. Under typical
conditions, the softdep_request_cleanup() routine is able to free
up space in under fifty milliseconds.

This change ensures that the filesystem is properly synced to disk
before the filesystem is down-graded.
This delta also fixes a long standing bug in which a file open for
reading has been unlinked. When the last open reference to the file
is closed, the inode is reclaimed by the filesystem. Previously,
if the filesystem had been down-graded to read-only, the inode could
not be reclaimed, and thus was lost and had to be later recovered
by fsck. With this change, such files are found at the time of the
down-grade. Normally they will result in the filesystem down-grade
failing with `device busy'. If a forcible down-grade is done, then
the affected files will be revoked causing the inode to be released
and the open file descriptors to begin failing on attempts to read.

when taking a snapshot. The two time consuming operations are
scanning all the filesystem bitmaps to determine which blocks
are in use and scanning all the other snapshots so as to be able
to expunge their blocks from the view of the current snapshot.
The bitmap scanning is broken into two passes. Before suspending
the filesystem all bitmaps are scanned. After the suspension,
those bitmaps that changed after being scanned the first time
are rescanned. Typically there are few bitmaps that need to be
rescanned. The expunging of other snapshots is now done after
the suspension is released by observing that we can easily
identify any blocks that were allocated to them after the
suspension (they will be maked as `not needing to be copied'
in the just created snapshot). For all the gory details, see

new file end will land in the middle of a file hole. Since the last
block of a file must always be allocated, the hole is filled by
allocating a block at that location. If the hole being filled is
a direct block, then the truncation may eventually reduce the
full sized block down to a fragment. When running with soft
updates, it is necessary to FSYNC the file after allocating the
block and before creating the fragment to avoid triggering a
soft updates inconsistency when the block unexpectedly shrinks.
