Problems start appearing when there are several threads all doing
operations on a UFS volume and the SU workqueue needs a cleanup. It is
possible that each thread calling softdep_request_cleanup() owns the
lock for some dirty vnode (e.g. all of them are executing mkdir(2),
mknod(2), creat(2) etc) and all vnodes which must be flushed are locked
by corresponding thread. Then, we get all the threads simultaneously
entering softdep_request_cleanup().
There are two problems:
- Several threads execute MNT_VNODE_FOREACH_ALL() loops in parallel. Due
to the locking, they quickly start executing 'in phase' with the speed
of the slowest thread.
- Since each thread already owns the lock for a dirty vnode, other threads
non-blocking attempt to lock the vnode owned by other thread fail,
and loops executing without making the progress.
Retry logic does not allow the situation to recover. The result is
a livelock.
Fix these problems by making the following changes:
- Allow only one thread to enter MNT_VNODE_FOREACH_ALL() loop per mp.
A new flag FLUSH_RC_ACTIVE guards the loop.
- If there were failed locking attempts during the loop, abort retry
even if there are still work items on the mp work list. An
assumption is that the items will be cleaned when other thread
either fsyncs its vnode, or unlock and allow yet another thread to
make the progress.
It is possible now that some calls would get undeserved ENOSPC from
ffs_alloc(), because the cleanup is not aggressive enough. But I do
not see how can we reliably clean up workitems if calling
softdep_request_cleanup() while still owning the vnode lock. I thought
about scheme where ffs_alloc() returns ERESTART and saves the retry
counter somewhere in struct thread, to return to the top level, unlock
the vnode and retry. But IMO the very rare (and unproven) spurious
ENOSPC is not worth the complications.

Thread might create a condition for delayed SU cleanup, which creates
a reference to the mount point in td_su, but exit without returning
through userret(), e.g. when terminating due to single-threading or
process exit. In this case, td_su reference is not dropped and mount
point cannot be freed.
Handle the situation by clearing td_su also in the thread destructor
and in exit1(). softdep_ast_cleanup() has to receive the thread as
argument, since e.g. thread destructor is executed in different
context.

The swap pager enqueues laundered pages near the head of the inactive queue
to avoid another trip through LRU before reclamation. This change adds
support for this behaviour to the vnode pager and makes use of it in UFS and
ext2fs. Some ioflag handling is consolidated into a common subroutine so
that this support can be easily extended to other filesystems which make use
of the buffer cache. No changes are needed for ZFS since its putpages
routine always undirties the pages before returning, and the laundry
thread requeues the pages appropriately in this case.

Currently mount update keeps vfs_busy(9) reference on the mount point
during MNT_UPDATE VFS_MOUNT() vfsops call. This already provides the
exclusion, but is problematic for filesystems which need to perform
namei(9) during VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE) operations, e.g. to refresh
mnt_from path, because namei(9) must not be called while the
vfs_busy(9) reference is owned.
Check for MNT_UPDATE flag before setting MNTK_UNMOUNT, and for
MNTK_UNMOUNT before entering innards of vfs_domount_update(), failing
syscalls with EBUSY if conflict is detected. Keep vfs_busy(9)
reference around VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE) calls still to not change VFS
KPI.
In the update path in ffs_mount(), drop vfs_busy() reference around
namei(), which is now safe due to unmount never executing in parallel
with VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE), and which avoids the deadlock.

directory create and delete operations. If it ever finds a directory
with a link count less than 2, it panics. Thus, an rm -rf that
encounters a directory with a link count below 2 causes a kernel
panic. The proposed fix is to return the error EINVAL rather than
panicing. The effect is that the requested operation is not done,
but the system continues to run. At a more convenient later time,
the filesystem can be unmounted and cleaned (with fsck or journal
run). Once cleaned, the operation can be rerun to successful
completion.
This fix takes that approach. The panic message has been converted
into a uprintf(9) to provide the user with the inode number and
filesystem mount point of the offending directory and EINVAL is
returned for the operation.
The long (three year) delay in fixing this problem occurred because
the bug was misclassified when originally assigned and only this week
was found during a sweep of old unresolved bug reports.

mounts in almost all cases instead of in most cases. Don't override
DOINGASYNC() by any condition except IO_SYNC.
Fix previous sprinking of DOINGASYNC() checks. Don't override IO_SYNC
by DOINGASYNC(). In ffs_write() and ffs_extwrite(), there were
intentional overrides that just broke O_SYNC of data. In
ffs_truncate(), there are 5 calls to ffs_update(), 4 with
apparently-unintentional overrides and 1 without; this had no effect
due to the main async mount hack descibed below.
Fix 1 place in ffs_truncate() where the caller's IO_ASYNC was overridden
for the soft updates case too (to do a delayed write instead of a sync
write). This is supposed to be the only change that affects anything
except async mounts.
In ffs_update(), remove the 19 year old efficiency hack of ignoring
the waitfor flag for async mounts, so that fsync() almost works for
async mounts. All callers are supposed to be fixed to not ask for a
sync update unless they are for fsync() or [I]O_SYNC operations.
fsync() now almost works for async mounts. It used to sync the data
but not the most important metdata (the inode). It still doesn't sync
associated directories.
This gave 10-20% fewer writes for my makeworld benchmark with async
mounted tmp and obj directories from an already small number.
Style fixes:
- in ffs_balloc.c, remove rotted quadruplicated comments about the
simplest part of the DOING*() decisions and rearrange the nearly-
quadruplicated code to be more nearly so.
- in ufs_vnops.c, use a consistent style with less negative logic and
no manual "optimization" of || to | in DOING*() expressions.
