the active vnode list for the given mount point, with the assumption
that vnodes with dirty pages are active. This is enforced by
vinactive() doing vm_object_page_clean() pass over the vnode pages.
The issue is, if vinactive() cannot be called during vput() due to the
vnode being only shared-locked, we might end up with the dirty pages
for the vnode on the free list. Such vnode is invisible to syncer,
and pages are only cleaned on the vnode reactivation. In other words,
the race results in the broken guarantee that user data, written
through the mmap(2), is written to the disk not later than in 30
seconds after the write.
Fix this by keeping the vnode which is freed but still owing
inactivation, on the active list. When syncer loops find such vnode,
it is deactivated and cleaned by the final vput() call.

trying to build a cluster. The limit is tunable using the sysctl
vfs.ffs.maxclustersearch. The current limit is 10 cylinder groups
per block allocation. It was previously limited to the number of
cylinder groups in the filesystem per block allocation. When there
were no clusters of the needed size left, it repeatedly searched
the whole filesystem for a non-existent cluster on every block
allocation. The result was very slow filesystem allocation with
100% CPU utilization. The old behavior can be had by setting
vfs.ffs.maxclustersearch to a huge number (1,000,000).
This change affects only the layout policy routines so is not able
to interfere with the integrity of the filesystem.

This patch adds a mnt_kern_flag called MNTK_USES_BCACHE which
is set by file systems that use the buffer cache. If this flag
is not set, the NFS server always does a VOP_FSYNC().
This should be ok for old file system modules that do not set
MNTK_USES_BCACHE, since calling VOP_FSYNC() is correct, although
it might not be optimal for file systems that use the buffer cache.

sequence is performed on UFS SU+J rootfs:
cp -Rp /sbin/init /sbin/init.old
mv -f /sbin/init.old /sbin/init
Hang occurs on the rootfs unmount. There are two issues:
1. Removed init binary, which is still mapped, creates a reference to
the removed vnode. The inodeblock for such vnode must have active
inodedep, which is (eventually) linked through the unlinked list. This
means that ffs_sync(MNT_SUSPEND) cannot succeed, because number of
softdep workitems for the mp is always > 0. FFS is suspended during
unmount, so unmount just hangs.
2. As noted above, the inodedep is linked eventually. It is not
linked until the superblock is written. But at the vfs_unmountall()
time, when the rootfs is unmounted, the call is made to
ffs_unmount()->ffs_sync() before vflush(), and ffs_sync() only calls
ffs_sbupdate() after all workitems are flushed. It is masked for
normal system operations, because syncer works in parallel and
eventually flushes superblock. Syncer is stopped when rootfs
unmounted, so ffs_sync() must do sb update on its own.
Correct the issues listed above. For MNT_SUSPEND, count the number of
linked unlinked inodedeps (this is not a typo) and substract the count
of such workitems from the total. For the second issue, the
ffs_sbupdate() is called right after device sync in ffs_sync() loop.
There is third problem, occuring with both SU and SU+J. The
softdep_waitidle() loop, which waits for softdep_flush() thread to
clear the worklist, only waits 20ms max. It seems that the 1 tick,
specified for msleep(9), was a typo.
Add fsync(devvp, MNT_WAIT) call to softdep_waitidle(), which seems to
significantly help the softdep thread, and change the MNT_LAZY update
at the reboot time to MNT_WAIT for similar reasons. Note that
userspace cannot create more work while devvp is flushed, since the
mount point is always suspended before the call to softdep_waitidle()
in unmount or remount path.

The ffs_lazy_sync and qsync routines are run every 30 seconds for

inspected six times every minute (twice by each of these three

The primary changes are that the user of the interface no longer

every 30 seconds. This spike in I/O caused the system to pause every
30 seconds which was quite annoying. So, the way that sync worked
was changed so that when a vnode was first dirtied, it was put on
a 30-second cleaning queue (see the syncer_workitem_pending queues
in kern/vfs_subr.c). If the file has not been written or deleted
after 30 seconds, the syncer pushes it out. As the syncer runs once
per second, dirty files are trickled out slowly over the 30-second
period instead of all at once by a call to sync(2).
The one drawback to this is that it does not cover the filesystem
metadata. To handle the metadata, vfs_allocate_syncvnode() is called
to create a "filesystem syncer vnode" at mount time which cycles
around the cleaning queue being sync'ed every 30 seconds. In the
original design, the only things it would sync for UFS were the
filesystem metadata: inode blocks, cylinder group bitmaps, and the
superblock (e.g., by VOP_FSYNC'ing devvp, the device vnode from
which the filesystem is mounted).
Somewhere in its path to integration with FreeBSD the flushing of
the filesystem syncer vnode got changed to sync every vnode associated
with the filesystem. The result of this change is to return to the
old filesystem-wide flush every 30-seconds behavior and makes the
whole 30-second delay per vnode useless.
This change goes back to the originally intended trickle out sync
behavior. Key to ensuring that all the intended semantics are
preserved (e.g., that all inode updates get flushed within a bounded
period of time) is that all inode modifications get pushed to their
corresponding inode blocks so that the metadata flush by the
filesystem syncer vnode gets them to the disk in a timely way.

- Append partial truncation freework structures to indirdeps while

- On completion of a partial truncate journal work waits for zeroed

- softdep_journal_freeblocks() handles last frag allocation and last
block zeroing.
- vtruncbuf/ffs_page_remove moved into softdep_*_freeblocks() so it
is only implemented in one place.
- Block allocation failure handling moved up one level so it does not
proceed with buf locks held. This permits us to do more extensive
reclaims when filesystem space is exhausted.
- softdep_sync_metadata() is broken into two parts, the first executes
once at the start of ffs_syncvnode() and flushes truncations and
inode dependencies. The second is called on each locked buf. This
eliminates excessive looping and rollbacks.
- Improve the mechanism in process_worklist_item() that handles
acquiring vnode locks for handle_workitem_remove() so that it works
more generally and does not loop excessively over the same worklist
items on each call.
- Don't corrupt directories by zeroing the tail in fsck. This is only
