- In ULCK_BUF we no longer need to acquire the lock, just write the buf out.
- The combination of these changes eliminates one more use of B_LOCKED which
is in the way of making the buffer cache SMP safe. In the long term
ext2fs should probably not try to optimize the use of their metadata bufs
with a private cache. This will starve the rest of the system for buffers
in the extreme case.
Discussed with: bde (A long time ago..)
Tested on: md disk/x86
- Remove the buftimelock mutex and acquire the buf's interlock to protect
these fields instead.
- Hold the vnode interlock while locking bufs on the clean/dirty queues.
This reduces some cases from one BUF_LOCK with a LK_NOWAIT and another
BUF_LOCK with a LK_TIMEFAIL to a single lock.

shared code and converting all ufs references. Originally it may
have made sense to share common features between the two filesystems,
but recently it has only caused problems, the UFS2 work being the
final straw.
All UFS_* indirect calls are now direct calls to ext2_* functions,
and ext2fs-specific mount and inode structures have been introduced.
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

X-MFC after: ha ha ha ha
block bitmaps before unmount() completes. They were written using
bdwrite(), so they were normally written less than 32 seconds after
unmount(), but this is too late if the media is removed or the system
is rebooted soon after unmount(). sync()ing before unmount() didn't
help, because ext2fs uses buggy private caching for these blocks --
it doesn't even bdwrite() them until they are uncached or the filesystem
is unmounted. sync()ing after unmount() didn't help, because sync()
only applies to (vnodes for) mounted filesystems.

lockmgr locks. This commit should be functionally equivalent to the old
semantics. That is, all buffer locking is done with LK_EXCLUSIVE
requests. Changes to take advantage of LK_SHARED and LK_RECURSIVE will
be done in future commits.
an ext2fs file system is mounted. The soft update changes added
a check for B_DELWRI buffers. This exposed the complete brokenness
of the previous quick fix for failing syncs (PR 3571, committed on
1997/08/04). Use a new buffer flag B_DIRTY and don't abuse B_DELWRI.
B_DIRTY buffers are still written too late, as broken in the previous
fix. This is fairly harmless, because B_DIRTY is only used for
bitmap buffers and fsck.ext2 can fix up the bitmaps perfectly.
Fixed a race in ULCK_BUF() (bremfree() was outside of the splbio()
section).
keep ahold of buffers, and therefore leave filesystems dirty. I haven't
been able to test, but the code compiles. Those who run -current, please
test and report back!!! (Sorry :-)).
