Since mnt_flags was upgraded to 64bits there has been a quirk in
"struct export_args", since it hold a copy of mnt_flags
in ex_flags, which is an "int" (32bits).
This happens to currently work, since all the flag bits used in ex_flags are
defined in the low order 32bits. However, new export flags cannot be defined.
Also, ex_anon is a "struct xucred", which limits it to 16 additional groups.
This patch revises "struct export_args" to make ex_flags 64bits and replaces
ex_anon with ex_uid, ex_ngroups and ex_groups (which points to a
groups list, so it can be malloc'd up to NGROUPS in size.
This requires that the VFS_CHECKEXP() arguments change, so I also modified the
last "secflavors" argument to be an array pointer, so that the
secflavors could be copied in VFS_CHECKEXP() while the export entry is locked.
(Without this patch VFS_CHECKEXP() returns a pointer to the secflavors
array and then it is used after being unlocked, which is potentially
a problem if the exports entry is changed.
In practice this does not occur when mountd is run with "-S",
but I think it is worth fixing.)
This patch also deleted the vfs_oexport_conv() function, since
do_mount_update() does the conversion, as required by the old vfs_cmount()
calls.

synchronous inode update.
The IN_SIZEMOD and IN_IBLKDATA flags indicate changes to the
file size and block pointer fields in the inode. When these
fields have been changed, the fsync() and fsyncdata() system
calls must write the inode to ensure their semantics that the
file is on stable store.
The IN_SIZEMOD and IN_IBLKDATA flags cannot be cleared until
a synchronous write of the inode is done. If they are cleared
on an asynchronous write, then the inode may not yet have been
written to the disk when an fsync() or fsyncdata() call is done.
Absent these flags, these calls would not know that they needed
to write the inode. Thus, these flags only can be cleared on
synchronous writes of the inode. Since the inode will be locked
for the duration of the I/O that writes it to disk, no fsync()
or fsyncdata() will be able to run before the on-disk inode
is complete.

requires that new data on growing files be accessible. Thus, the
the fsyncdata() system call must update the on-disk inode when the
size of the file has changed.
This commit adds another inode update flag, IN_SIZEMOD, that gets
set any time that the file size changes. If either the IN_IBLKDATA
or the IN_SIZEMOD flag is set when fdatasync() is called, the
associated inode is synchronously written to disk. We could have
overloaded the IN_IBLKDATA flag to also track size changes since
the only (current) use case for these flags are for fsyncdata(),
but it does seem useful for possible future uses to separately
track the file size changes and the inode block pointer changes.

The fdatasync() description in POSIX specifies that
all I/O operations shall be completed as defined for synchronized I/O
data integrity completion.
and then the explanation of Synchronized I/O Data Integrity Completion says
The write is complete only when the data specified in the write
request is successfully transferred and all file system
information required to retrieve the data is successfully
transferred.
For UFS this means that all pointers must be on disk. Indirect
pointers already contribute to the list of dirty data blocks, so only
direct blocks and root pointers to indirect blocks, both of which
reside in the inode block, should be taken care of. In ffs_balloc(),
mark the inode with the new flag IN_IBLKDATA that specifies that
ffs_syncvnode(DATA_ONLY) needs a call to ffs_update() to flush the
inode block.

the underlying media fails or becomes inaccessible. For example
when a USB flash memory card hosting a UFS filesystem is unplugged.
The strategy for handling disk I/O errors when soft updates are
enabled is to stop writing to the disk of the affected file system
but continue to accept I/O requests and report that all future
writes by the file system to that disk actually succeed. Then
initiate an asynchronous forced unmount of the affected file system.
There are two cases for disk I/O errors:
- ENXIO, which means that this disk is gone and the lower layers
of the storage stack already guarantee that no future I/O to
this disk will succeed.
- EIO (or most other errors), which means that this particular
I/O request has failed but subsequent I/O requests to this
disk might still succeed.
For ENXIO, we can just clear the error and continue, because we
know that the file system cannot affect the on-disk state after we
see this error. For EIO or other errors, we arrange for the geom_vfs
layer to reject all future I/O requests with ENXIO just like is
done when the geom_vfs is orphaned. In both cases, the file system
code can just clear the error and proceed with the forcible unmount.
This new treatment of I/O errors is needed for writes of any buffer
that is involved in a dependency. Most dependencies are described
by a structure attached to the buffer's b_dep field. But some are
created and processed as a result of the completion of the dependencies
attached to the buffer.
Clearing of some dependencies require a read. For example if there
is a dependency that requires an inode to be written, the disk block
containing that inode must be read, the updated inode copied into
place in that buffer, and the buffer then written back to disk.
Often the needed buffer is already in memory and can be used. But
if it needs to be read from the disk, the read will fail, so we
fabricate a buffer full of zeroes and pretend that the read succeeded.
This zero'ed buffer can be updated and written back to disk.
The only case where a buffer full of zeros causes the code to do
the wrong thing is when reading an inode buffer containing an inode
that still has an inode dependency in memory that will reinitialize
the effective link count (i_effnlink) based on the actual link count
(i_nlink) that we read. To handle this case we now store the i_nlink
value that we wrote in the inode dependency so that it can be
restored into the zero'ed buffer thus keeping the tracking of the
inode link count consistent.
Because applications depend on knowing when an attempt to write
their data to stable storage has failed, the fsync(2) and msync(2)
system calls need to return errors if data fails to be written to
stable storage. So these operations return ENXIO for every call
made on files in a file system where we have otherwise been ignoring
I/O errors.

These two sysctls were added to support UFS softupdates journalling
with snapshots. However, the changes to fsck to use them were never
committed and there have never been any in-tree uses of these sysctls.
More details from Kirk:
When journalling got added to soft updates, its journal rollback freed
blocks that it thought were no longer in use. But it does not take
snapshots into account (i.e., if a snapshot is still using it, then it
cannot be freed). So I added the needed logic to fsck by having the
free go through the kernel's blkfree code so it could grab blocks that
were still needed by snapshots. That is done using the setbufoutput
hack. I never got that code working reliably, so it is still sitting
in my work directory. Which also explains why you still cannot take
snapshots on filesystems running with journalling...
In looking over my use of this feature, and in particular the troubles
I was having with it, I conclude that it may be better to extract the
code from the kernel that handles freeing blocks claimed by snapshots
and putting it into fsck directly. My original intent was that it is
complex and at the time changing, so only having to maintain it in one
place was appealing. But at this point it has not changed in years and
the hacks like setinode and setbufoutput to be able to use the kernel
code is sufficiently ugly, that I am leaning towards just extracting
it.

Forced rw unmounts and remounts from rw to ro already suspend
filesystem, which closes races with writers instantiating new vnodes
while unmount flushes the queue. Original intent of not including
non-forced unmounts into this regime was to allow such unmounts to
fail if writer was active, but this did not worked well.
Similar change, but causing all unmount, even involving only ro
filesystem, were proposed in D24088, but I believe that suspending ro
is undesirable, and definitely spends CPU time.
