caller to acquire it. This permits drain_output() to be done atomically
with other operations as well as reducing the number of lock operations.
- Assert that the proper locks are held in drain_output().
- Change getdirtybuf() to accept a mutex as an argument. This mutex is used
to protect the vnode's buf list and the BKGRDWAIT flag. This lock is
dropped when we successfully acquire a buffer and held on return
otherwise. These semantics reduce the number of cumbersome cases in
calling code.
- Pass the mtx from getdirtybuf() into interlocked_sleep() and allow this
mutex to be used as the interlock argument to BUF_LOCK() in the LOCKBUF
case of interlocked_sleep().
- Change the return value of getdirtybuf() to be the resulting locked buffer
or NULL otherwise. This is for callers who pass in a list head that
requires a lock. It is necessary since the lock that protects the list
head must be dropped in getdirtybuf() so that we don't have a lock order
reversal with the buf queues lock in bremfree().
- Adjust all callers of getdirtybuf() to match the new semantics.
- Add a comment in indir_trunc() that points at unlocked access to a buf.
This may also be one of the last instances of incore() in the tree.
- Surround all accesses of the BKGRD{WAIT,INPROG} flags with the vnode
interlock.
- Don't use the B_LOCKED flag and QUEUE_LOCKED for background write
buffers. Check for the BKGRDINPROG flag before recycling or throwing
away a buffer. We do this instead because it is not safe for us to move
the original buffer to a new queue from the callback on the background
write buffer.
- Remove the B_LOCKED flag and the locked buffer queue. They are no longer
used.
- The vnode interlock is used around checks for BKGRDINPROG where it may
not be strictly necessary. If we hold the buf lock the a back-ground
write will not be started without our knowledge, one may only be
completed while we're not looking. Rather than remove the code, Document
two of the places where this extra locking is done. A pass should be

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.
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

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

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
(smaller) size field being copied up to the new size field which
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.

- Remove the buftimelock mutex and acquire the buf's interlock to protect
these fields instead.
- Hold the vnode interlock while locking bufs on the clean/dirty queues.
This reduces some cases from one BUF_LOCK with a LK_NOWAIT and another
BUF_LOCK with a LK_TIMEFAIL to a single lock.

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.
