as they both interact with the tty code (!MPSAFE) and may sleep if the
tty buffer is full (per comment).
Modify all consumers of uprintf() and tprintf() to hold Giant around
calls into these functions. In most cases, this means adding an
acquisition of Giant immediately around the function. In some cases
(nfs_timer()), it means acquiring Giant higher up in the callout.
With these changes, UFS no longer panics on SMP when either blocks are
exhausted or inodes are exhausted under load due to races in the tty
code when running without Giant.
NB: Some reduction in calls to uprintf() in the svr4 code is probably
desirable.
NB: In the case of nfs_timer(), calling uprintf() while holding a mutex,
or even in a callout at all, is a bad idea, and will generate warnings
and potential upset. This needs to be fixed, but was a problem before
this change.
NB: uprintf()/tprintf() sleeping is generally a bad ideas, as is having
non-MPSAFE tty code.

make the b_iodone callback responsible for setting it if it is needed.
Previously, it was set unconditionally by bufdone() without holding
whichever lock is shared by the b_iodone callback and the corresponding
top-half function. Consequently, in a race, the top-half function could
conclude that operation was done before the b_iodone callback finished.
See, for example, aio_physwakeup() and aio_fphysio().
Note: I don't believe that the other, more widely-used b_iodone callbacks
are affected.

- ffs_disk_prewrite was pulling the vp from the buf and checking for

However, processing an item may generate additional work, causing the
unlucky thread to recursively process the worklist. Add a per-thread
flag to detect this situation and avoid the recursion. This should
fix the stack overflows that could occur while removing large
directory trees.

very slow process, especially for large file systems that is just
recovered from a crash.
Since the summary is already re-sync'ed every 30 second, we will
not lag behind too much after a crash. With this consideration
in mind, it is more reasonable to transfer the responsibility to
background fsck, to reduce the delay after a crash.
Add a new sysctl variable, vfs.ffs.compute_summary_at_mount, to
control this behavior. When set to nonzero, we will get the
"old" behavior, that the summary is computed immediately at mount
time.
Add five new sysctl variables to adjust ndir, nbfree, nifree,
nffree and numclusters respectively. Teach fsck_ffs about these

kernels without these sysctls must have recomputed the summary

Pull bufobj_invalbuf() out of vinvalbuf() and make g_vfs call it on

does not call vnode_pager_setsize() for us. We must do this here. This

specifically causing msync() deadlocks because msync() was writing
flushing pages that should not have been valid.

Give FFS vnodes a specific bufwrite method which contains all the
background write stuff and then calls into the default bufwrite()
for the rest of the job.
Remove all the background write related stuff from the normal bufwrite.
This drags the softdep_move_dependencies() back into FFS.
Long term, it is worth looking at simply copying the data into
allocated memory and issuing the bio directly and not create the
"shadow buf" in the first place (just like copy-on-write is done
in snapshots for instance). I don't think we really gain anything
but complexity from doing this with a buf.
The "business class upgrade" was implemented in UFS's VOP_LOCK
implementation ufs_lock() which is the wrong layer, so move it to
ffs_lock().
Also, as long as we have not abandonned advanced vfs-stacking we
should not preclude it from happening: instead of implementing a
copy locally, use the VOP_LOCK_APV(&ufs) to correctly arrive at
vop_stdlock() at the bottom.
