Long ago, bread() set b_blkno to the disk block number as a side effect
of doing physical i/o (or it just retained the setting from when the
i/o was done). The setting is lost when buffers go away and then are
reconsituted from VM. bread() originally compensated by doing a
VOP_BMAP() to recover b_blkno, but this was no good since it sometimes
caused extra i/o or even deadlock for bread()ing metadata to do the
bmap. This was fixed in vfs_bio.c 1.33 (1995/03/03) and ffs_balloc.c
1.5, etc., by removing the VOP_BMAP() from bread() and breadn(), and
changing all (?) places that used b_blkno to set it if necessary.
ext2fs was not imported until later in 1995 and was still depending on
the old behaviour of bread() in at least ext2_balloc(). This caused
filesystem and file corruption by clobbering direct block numbers in
inodes.
to struct mount.
This makes the "struct netexport *" paramter to the vfs_export
and vfs_checkexport interface unneeded.
Consequently that all non-stacking filesystems can use
vfs_stdcheckexp().
At the same time, make it a pointer to a struct netexport
in struct mount, so that we can remove the bogus AF_MAX
and #include <net/radix.h> from <sys/mount.h>
structure rather than assuming that the device vnode would reside
in the FFS filesystem (which is obviously a broken assumption with
the device filesystem).
An initial tidyup of the mount() syscall and VFS mount code.
This code replaces the earlier work done by jlemon in an attempt to
make linux_mount() work.
* the guts of the mount work has been moved into vfs_mount().
* move `type', `path' and `flags' from being userland variables into being
kernel variables in vfs_mount(). `data' remains a pointer into
userspace.
* Attempt to verify the `type' and `path' strings passed to vfs_mount()
aren't too long.
* rework mount() and linux_mount() to take the userland parameters
(besides data, as mentioned) and pass kernel variables to vfs_mount().
(linux_mount() already did this, I've just tidied it up a little more.)
* remove the copyin*() stuff for `path'. `data' still requires copyin*()
since its a pointer into userland.
* set `mount->mnt_statf_mntonname' in vfs_mount() rather than in each
filesystem. This variable is generally initialised with `path', and
each filesystem can override it if they want to.
* NOTE: f_mntonname is intiailised with "/" in the case of a root mount.
and used in C or vice versa. The elf compiler uses the same names
for both. Remove asnames.h with great prejudice; it has served its
purpose.
Note that this does not affect the ability to generate an aout kernel
due to gcc's -mno-underscores option.

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.
Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.
Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

block bitmaps before unmount() completes. They were written using
bdwrite(), so they were normally written less than 32 seconds after
unmount(), but this is too late if the media is removed or the system
is rebooted soon after unmount(). sync()ing before unmount() didn't
help, because ext2fs uses buggy private caching for these blocks --
it doesn't even bdwrite() them until they are uncached or the filesystem
is unmounted. sync()ing after unmount() didn't help, because sync()
only applies to (vnodes for) mounted filesystems.

ufs_vnops.c:
1) i_ino was confused with i_number, so the inode number passed to
VFS_VGET() was usually wrong (usually 0U).
2) ip was dereferenced after vgone() freed it, so the inode number
passed to VFS_VGET() was sometimes not even wrong.
Bug (1) was usually fatal in ext2_mknod(), since ext2fs doesn't have
space for inode 0 on the disk; ino_to_fsba() subtracts 1 from the
inode number, so inode number 0U gives a way out of bounds array
index. Bug(1) was usually harmless in ufs_mknod(); ino_to_fsba()
doesn't subtract 1, and VFS_VGET() reads suitable garbage (all 0's?)
from the disk for the invalid inode number 0U; ufs_mknod() returns
a wrong vnode, but most callers just vput() it; the correct vnode is
eventually obtained by an implicit VFS_VGET() just like it used to be.
Bug (2) usually doesn't happen.
When this feature is enabled, mke2fs doesn't necessarily allocate a
super block and its associated descriptor blocks for every group.
The (non-)allocations are reflected in the block bitmap. Since the
filesystem code doesn't write to these blocks except for the first
superblock, all it has to do to support them is to not count them in
ext2_statfs() and not attempt to check them at mount time in
ext2_check_blocks_bitmap() (the check has never been enabled in
FreeBSD anyway).

Now that the new sound code supports MIDI, the major reason we had for
reviving it is gone. It is a far better investment polishing the new
midi code than trying to keep this on life support. Come 5.0-REL, if
there are major shortcomings in the pcm sound driver then maybe we can
rethink this, but until then we should focus on pcm.

separately (nfs, cd9660 etc) or keept as a first element of structure
referenced by v_data pointer(ffs). Such organization leads to known problems
with stacked filesystems.
From this point vop_no*lock*() functions maintain only interlock lock.
vop_std*lock*() functions maintain built-in v_lock structure using lockmgr().
vop_sharedlock() is compatible with vop_stdunlock(), but maintains a shared
lock on vnode.
If filesystem wishes to export lockmgr compatible lock, it can put an address
of this lock to v_vnlock field. This indicates that the upper filesystem
can take advantage of it and use single lock structure for entire (or part)
of stack of vnodes. This field shouldn't be examined or modified by VFS code
except for initialization purposes.

The cookie buffer was usually overrun by a large amount whenever
cookies were used. Cookies are used by nfs and the Linuxulator, so
this bug usually caused panics whenever an ext2fs filesystem was nfs
mounted or a Linux utility that calls readdir() was run on an ext2fs
filesystem.
The directory buffer was sometimes overrun by a small amount. This
sometimes caused panics and wrong results even for FreeBSD utilities,
but it was usually harmless because FreeBSD utilities use a large
enough buffer size (4K). Linux utilities usually triggered the bug
since they use a too-small buffer size (512 bytes), at least with the
old RedHat utilities that I tested with.

with the new snapshot code.
Update addaliasu to correctly implement the semantics of the old
checkalias function. When a device vnode first comes into existence,
check to see if an anonymous vnode for the same device was created
at boot time by bdevvp(). If so, adopt the bdevvp vnode rather than
creating a new vnode for the device. This corrects a problem which
caused the kernel to panic when taking a snapshot of the root
filesystem.
Change the calling convention of vn_write_suspend_wait() to be the
same as vn_start_write().
Split out softdep_flushworklist() from softdep_flushfiles() so that
it can be used to clear the work queue when suspending filesystem
operations.
Access to buffers becomes recursive so that snapshots can recursively
traverse their indirect blocks using ffs_copyonwrite() when checking
for the need for copy on write when flushing one of their own indirect
blocks. This eliminates a deadlock between the syncer daemon and a
process taking a snapshot.
Ensure that softdep_process_worklist() can never block because of a
snapshot being taken. This eliminates a problem with buffer starvation.
Cleanup change in ffs_sync() which did not synchronously wait when
MNT_WAIT was specified. The result was an unclean filesystem panic
when doing forcible unmount with heavy filesystem I/O in progress.
Return a zero'ed block when reading a block that was not in use at
the time that a snapshot was taken. Normally, these blocks should
never be read. However, the readahead code will occationally read
them which can cause unexpected behavior.
Clean up the debugging code that ensures that no blocks be written
on a filesystem while it is suspended. Snapshots must explicitly
label the blocks that they are writing during the suspension so that
they do not cause a `write on suspended filesystem' panic.
Reorganize ffs_copyonwrite() to eliminate a deadlock and also to
prevent a race condition that would permit the same block to be
copied twice. This change eliminates an unexpected soft updates
inconsistency in fsck caused by the double allocation.
Use bqrelse rather than brelse for buffers that will be needed
soon again by the snapshot code. This improves snapshot performance.
the gating of system calls that cause modifications to the underlying
filesystem. The gating can be enabled by any filesystem that needs
to consistently suspend operations by adding the vop_stdgetwritemount
to their set of vnops. Once gating is enabled, the function
vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a filesystem,
allows any filesystem modifying system calls already in progress
to complete, then sync's the filesystem to disk and returns. The
function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to
begin again. Gating is not added by default for all filesystems as
for SMP systems it adds two extra locks to such critical kernel
paths as the write system call. Thus, gating should only be added
as needed.
Details on the use and current status of snapshots in FFS can be

these changes should have no effect on your system (famous last words).
