if we permit them to occur, the kernel panics due to our performing
EA operations using VOP_STRATEGY on the vnode. This went unnoticed
previously because there are very for users of device nodes on UFS2
due to the introduction of devfs. However, this can come up with
the Linux compat directories and its hard-coded dev nodes (which will
need to go away as we move away from hard-coded device numbers).
This can come up if you use EA-intensive features such as ACLs and
MAC.
The proper fix is pretty complicated, but this band-aid would be
an excellent MFC candidate for the release.
only while holding appropriate vnode locks. This patch slides the lock
release for ufs_extattr_enable() to continue to hold the active vnode lock
on a backing file until after the flag change; it also acquires a vnode
lock when disabling an attribute and hence clearing a flag on the backing
vnode. This permits VFS_DEBUG_LOCKS to run UFS1 extended attributes
without panicking, as well as preventing a potential race and vnode flag
problem.

These fields can be left as NULL if ffs_vget() allocates an inode but
fails before the dinode memory has been allocated. There are two cases
when this can occur: when we lose a race and another process has added
the inode to the hash, and when reading the inode off disk fails.
The bug was observed by Kris on one of the package-building machines.
See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-current&m=105172731013411&w=2
In Kris's case, it was the bread() that failed because of a disk error.
The alternative to this patch is to ensure that ffs_vget() does not call
vput() when the inode that hasn't been properly initialised.
kg_nice is now protected by both. Being protected by both means that
other places in the kernel that want to read kg_nice only need one of the
two locks.
requiring locked bufs in vfs_bio_awrite(). Previously the buf could
have been written out by fsync before we acquired the buf lock if it
weren't for giant. The cluster_wbuild() handles this race properly but
the single write at the end of vfs_bio_awrite() would not.

from the filesystem size field to the filesystem maximum blocksize
field. The problem is that older versions of growfs updated only the
new size field and not the old size field. This resulted in the old

caused the filesystem to appear to fsck to be badly trashed.
This also adds a sanity check to ensure that the superblock is not
being updated when the filesystem is mounted read-only. Obviously
such an update should never happen.

a snapshot. As part of taking a snapshot of a filesystem, the kernel
builds up a list of the filesystem metadata (such as the cylinder
group bitmaps) that are contained in the snapshot. When doing a
copy-on-write check, the list is first consulted. If the block being
written is found on the list, then the full snapshot lookup can be
avoided. Besides providing an important performance speedup this
check also avoids a potential deadlock between the code creating
the snapshot and the bufdaemon trying to cleanup snapshot related
buffers. This fix creates a temporary list containing the key
metadata blocks that can cause the deadlock. This temporary list
is used between the time that the snapshot is first enabled and the
time that the fully complete list is built.

is being taken from panicing with either "freeing free block" or
"freeing free inode". The problem arises when the snapshot code
is scanning the filesystem looking for inodes with a reference
count of zero (e.g., unlinked but still open) so that it can
expunge them from its view. If it encounters a reclaimed vnode
and has to restart its scan, then it will panic if it encounters
and tries to free an inode that it has already processed. The fix
is to check each candidate inode to see if it has already been
processed before trying to delete it from the snapshot image.

repeatedly truncate the same file. Each time the file is truncated,
a buffer is grabbed to store the indirect block numbers that need
to be freed. Those blocks cannot be freed until the inode claiming
them is written to disk. Thus, the number of buffers being held by
soft updates explodes and in extreme cases can run the kernel out
of buffers. The problem can be avoided by doing an fsync on the
file every debug.maxindirdep truncates (currently defaulted to 50).
The fsync causes the inode to be written so that the held buffers
can be freed. The check for excessive buffers is checked as part
of the existing hook for excessive dependencies (softdep_slowdown)
in the truncate code.

to sort out disk-io from file-io in the vm/buffer/filesystem space.
The intent is to sort VOP_STRATEGY calls into those which operate
on "real" vnodes and those which operate on VCHR vnodes. For
the latter kind, the call will be changed to VOP_SPECSTRATEGY,
possibly conditionally for those places where dual-use happens.
Add a default VOP_SPECSTRATEGY method which will call the normal
VOP_STRATEGY. First time it is called it will print debugging
information. This will only happen if a normal vnode is passed
to VOP_SPECSTRATEGY by mistake.
Add a real VOP_SPECSTRATEGY in specfs, which does what VOP_STRATEGY
does on a VCHR vnode today.
Add a new VOP_STRATEGY method in specfs to catch instances where
the conversion to VOP_SPECSTRATEGY has not yet happened. Handle
the request just like we always did, but first time called print
debugging information.
