the gating of system calls that cause modifications to the underlying
filesystem. The gating can be enabled by any filesystem that needs
to consistently suspend operations by adding the vop_stdgetwritemount
to their set of vnops. Once gating is enabled, the function
vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a filesystem,
allows any filesystem modifying system calls already in progress
to complete, then sync's the filesystem to disk and returns. The
function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to
begin again. Gating is not added by default for all filesystems as
for SMP systems it adds two extra locks to such critical kernel
paths as the write system call. Thus, gating should only be added
as needed.

these changes should have no effect on your system (famous last words).

problems when fetch(1) was passed `-o -'. The rationale of this change
is that applications attempting to change underlying vnodes for /dev/fd
nodes are improperly written and the use of this interface should not
ever have been encouraged. Proper alternatives are fchmod, fchown and
others.

stderr nodes. More specific items of this patch:
o Removed support for symbolic links, and the need for
fdesc_readlink().
o Put all the code from fdesc_attr() into fdesc_getattr() and removed
fdesc_attr(). This also made it easier to properly give all nodes
unique inode numbers.
o The removal of all non-fd nodes allowed the removal of the fdesc_read(),
fdesc_write(), and fdesc_ioctl() nodes, since we no longer have nodes
that get special handling.
o Correct the component name validity-checking in fdesc_lookup(). It
previously detected the end of the string by checking for a terminating
NUL, now it uses cnp->cn_namelen.
o Handle kqueue files as FIFOs. This is probably the closest file type
to represent this type of file there is, and it is unfortunately not
very representative of a kqueue. Creation time is not supported by
kqueue, so ctime, mtime and atime are all set to the current time when
getattr() was called.
o Also set st_[mca]time to the current time since there's no data in
socket structures that can be used to fill this in (FIFOs).
o Simplify fdesc_readdir() since it only has to report the numbered
fd nodes. Add `.' and `..' directory links as well.
o Remove read bits from directories as they tend to confuse programs
like tar(1).

<sys/bio.h> is now a prerequisite for <sys/buf.h> but it shall
not be made a nested include according to bdes teachings on the
subject of nested includes.
Diskdrivers and similar stuff below specfs::strategy() should no
longer need to include <sys/buf.> unless they need caching of data.
Still a few bogus uses of struct buf to track down.

exactly one bit set.
B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding
mistakes.
Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.
Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue. It is likely to write on your disk
where it should have been reading.
This change is a step in the direction towards a stackable BIO capability.

for ps and gdb. Both of these have been "fixed". ps gets the p_stats
via eproc along with all the other stats, and gdb uses the regs, fpregs
etc files.
Once apon a time the UPAGES were mapped here, but that changed back
in January '96. This essentially kills my revisions 1.16 and 1.17.
The 2-page "hole" above the stack can be reclaimed now.
drops the counting in bwrite and puts it all in spec_strategy.
I did some tests and verified that the counts collected for writes
in spec_strategy is identical to the counts that we previously
collected in bwrite. We now also get read counts (async reads
come from requests for read-ahead blocks). Note that you need
to compile a new version of mount to get the read counts printed
out. The old mount binary is completely compatible, the only
reason to install a new mount is to get the read counts printed.
