e2fs_maxcontig was modelled after UFS when bringing the
"Orlov allocator" to ext2. On UFS fs_maxcontig is kept in the
superblock and is used by userland tools (fsck and growfs),
In ext2 this information is volatile so it is not available
for userland tools, so in this case it doesn't have sense
to carry it in the in-memory superblock.
Also remove a pointless check for MAX(1, x) > 0.

Ext2fs uses unsigned fields in its dinode struct.
FreeBSD can have negative values in some of those
fields and the inode is meant to interact with the
system so we have never respected the unsigned
nature of most of those fields.
Block numbers and the NFS generation number do
not need to be signed so redefine them as
unsigned to better match the on-disk information.

We also try to make better use of the fs flags instead of
trying adapt the code according to the fs structures. In
the case of subsecond timestamps and birthtime we now
check that the feature is explicitly enabled: previously
we only checked that the reserved space was available and
silently wrote them.
This approach is much safer, especially if the filesystem
happens to use embedded inodes or support EAs.

When a file is first being written, the dynamic block reallocation
(implemented by ext2_reallocblks) relocates the file's blocks
so as to cluster them together into a contiguous set of blocks on
the disk.
When the cluster crosses the boundary into the first indirect block,
the first indirect block is initially allocated in a position
immediately following the last direct block. Block reallocation
would usually destroy locality by moving the indirect block out of
the way to keep the data blocks contiguous.
The issue was diagnosed long ago by Bruce Evans on ffs and surfaced
on ext2fs when block reallocaton was ported. This is only a partial
solution based on the similarities with FFS. We still require more
review of the allocation details that vary in ext2fs.

The primary changes are that the user of the interface no longer
needs to manage the mount-mutex locking and that the vnode that
is returned has its mutex locked (thus avoiding the need to check
to see if its is DOOMED or other possible end of life senarios).
To minimize compatibility issues for third-party developers, the
old MNT_VNODE_FOREACH interface will remain available so that this
change can be MFC'ed to 9. Following the MFC to 9, MNT_VNODE_FOREACH
will be removed in head.
The reason for this update is to prepare for the addition of the
MNT_VNODE_FOREACH_ACTIVE interface that will loop over just the
active vnodes associated with a mount point (typically less than
1% of the vnodes associated with the mount point).

When using big inodes there is sufficient space in ext3 to
keep extra resolution and birthtime (creation) timestamps.
The appropriate fields in the on-disk inode have been approved
for a long time but support for this in ext3 has not been
widely distributed.
In preparation for ext4 most linux distributions have enabled
by default such bigger inodes and some people use nanosecond
timestamps in ext3. We now support those when the inode is big
enough and while we do recognize the EXT4F_ROCOMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE,
we maintain the extra timestamps even when they are not used.
An additional note by Bruce Evans:
We blindly accept unrepresentable tv_nsec in VOP_SETATTR(), but
all file systems have always done that. When POSIX gets around
to specifying the behaviour, it will probably require certain
rounding to the fs's resolution and not rejecting the request.
This unfortunately means that syscalls that set times can't
really tell if they succeeded without reading back the times
using stat() or similar and checking that they were set close
enough.

mnt_noasync counter to temporary remove MNTK_ASYNC mount option, which
is needed to guarantee a synchronous completion of the initiated i/o
before syscall or VOP return. Global removal of MNTK_ASYNC option is
harmful because not only i/o started from corresponding thread becomes
synchronous, but all i/o is synchronous on the filesystem which is
initiated during sync(2) or syncer activity.
Instead of removing MNTK_ASYNC from mnt_kern_flag, provide a local
thread flag to disable async i/o for current thread only. Use the
opportunity to move DOINGASYNC() macro into sys/vnode.h and
consistently use it through places which tested for MNTK_ASYNC.
Some testing demonstrated 60-70% improvements in run time for the
metadata-intensive operations on async-mounted UFS volumes, but still
with great deviation due to other reasons.

The feature has been standard for a while in UFS as a means to reduce

filesystem aging. This is also very similar to what ext4 calls
"delayed allocation".
