making fsck_ffs(8) run faster, there should be no functional change. The original fsck_ffs(8) had its own disk I/O management system. When gjournal(8) was added to FreeBSD 7, code was added to fsck_ffs(8) to do the necessary gjournal rollback. Rather than use the existing fsck_ffs(8) disk I/O system, it wrote its own from scratch. Similarly when journalled soft updates were added in FreeBSD 9, code was added to fsck_ffs(8) to do the necessary journal rollback. And once again, rather than using either of the existing fsck_ffs(8) disk I/O systems, it wrote its own from scratch. Lastly the fsdb(8) utility uses the fsck_ffs(8) disk I/O management system. In preparation for making the changes necessary to enable snapshots to be taken when using journalled soft updates, it was necessary to have a single disk I/O system used by all the various subsystems in fsck_ffs(8). This commit merges the functionality required by all the different subsystems into a single disk I/O system that supports all of their needs. In so doing it picks up optimizations from each of them with the results that each of the subsystems does fewer reads and writes than it did with its own customized I/O system. It also greatly simplifies making changes to fsck_ffs(8) since everything goes through a single place. For example the ginode() function fetches an inode from the disk. When inode check hashes were added, they previously had to be checked in the code implementing inode fetch in each of the three different disk I/O systems. Now they need only be checked in ginode().

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
