on all label parsing occuring in userland, and knowledge of the loaded
policies in the user libraries. This revision of the API pushes that
parsing into the kernel, avoiding the need for shared library support
of policies in userland, permitting statically linked binaries (such
as ls, ps, and ifconfig) to use MAC labels. In these API revisions,
high level parsing of the MAC label is done in the MAC Framework,
and interpretation of label elements is delegated to the MAC policy
modules. This permits modules to export zero or more label elements
to user space if desired, and support them in the manner they want
and with the semantics they want. This is believed to be the final
revision of this interface: from the perspective of user applications,
the API has actually not changed, although the ABI has.

a full filesystem. Previously, if the allocation failed, we had to
fsync the file before rolling back any partial allocation of indirect
blocks. Most block allocation requests only need to allocate a single
data block and if that allocation fails, there is nothing to unroll.
So, before doing the fsync, we check to see if any rollback will
really be necessary. If none is necessary, then we simply return.
This update eliminates the flurry of disk activity that got triggered
whenever a filesystem would run out of space.

locks the mount point directory while waiting for vfs_busy to clear.
Meanwhile the unmount which holds the vfs_busy lock tried to lock
the mount point vnode. The fix is to observe that it is safe for the
unmount to remove the vnode from the mount point without locking it.
The lookup will wait for the unmount to complete, then recheck the
mount point when the vfs_busy lock clears.

that works in the new threaded kernel. It was commented out of
the disksort routine earlier this year for the reasons given in
kern/subr_disklabel.c (which is where this code used to reside
before it moved to kern/subr_disk.c):

Comment out Kirks io-request priority hack until we can do this in a
civilized way which doesn't cause grief.
The problem is that it is not generally safe to cast a "struct bio
*" to a "struct buf *". Things like ccd, vinum, ata-raid and GEOM
constructs bio's which are not entrails of a struct buf.
Also, curthread may or may not have anything to do with the I/O request
at hand.
The correct solution can either be to tag struct bio's with a
priority derived from the requesting threads nice and have disksort
act on this field, this wouldn't address the "silly-seek syndrome"
where two equal processes bang the diskheads from one edge to the
other of the disk repeatedly.
Alternatively, and probably better: a sleep should be introduced
either at the time the I/O is requested or at the time it is completed
where we can be sure to sleep in the right thread.
The sleep also needs to be in constant timeunits, 1/hz can be practicaly
any sub-second size, at high HZ the current code practically doesn't
do anything.
----------------------------
As suggested in this comment, it is no longer located in the disk sort
routine, but rather now resides in spec_strategy where the disk operations
are being queued by the thread that is associated with the process that
is really requesting the I/O. At that point, the disk queues are not
visible, so the I/O for positively niced processes is always slowed
down whether or not there is other activity on the disk.
On the issue of scaling HZ, I believe that the current scheme is
better than using a fixed quantum of time. As machines and I/O
subsystems get faster, the resolution on the clock also rises.
So, ten years from now we will be slowing things down for shorter
periods of time, but the proportional effect on the system will
be about the same as it is today. So, I view this as a feature
rather than a drawback. Hence this patch sticks with using HZ.

a server process bound to a wildcard UDP socket to select the IP
address from which outgoing packets are sent on a per-datagram
basis. When combined with IP_RECVDSTADDR, such a server process can
guarantee to reply to an incoming request using the same source IP
address as the destination IP address of the request, without having
to open one socket per server IP address.

to send datagrams from an unconnected socket, we used to first block
input, then connect the socket to the sendmsg/sendto destination,
send the datagram, and finally disconnect the socket and unblock
input.
We now use in_pcbconnect_setup() to check if a connect() would have
succeeded, but we never record the connection in the PCB (local
anonymous port allocation is still recorded, though). The result
from in_pcbconnect_setup() authorises the sending of the datagram
and selects the local address and port to use, so we just construct
the header and call ip_output().

policies remains the same: subjects and objects are labeled for
integrity or sensitivity, and a dominance operator determines whether
or not subject/object accesses are permitted to limit inappropriate
information flow. Compartments are a non-hierarchal component to
the label, so add a bitfield to the label element for each, and a
set check as part of the dominance operator. This permits the
implementation of "need to know" elements of MLS.
