Fix detection of active unlinked files by checking VI_OWEINACT and
VI_DOINGINACT in addition to v_usecount.
Defer inactive handling for unlinked files if the file system is mostly
suspended (secondary writes being blocked).
Perform deferred inactive handling after the file system is resumed.
replacement for vn_write_suspend_wait() to better account for secondary write
processing.
Close race where secondary writes could be started after ffs_sync() returned
but before the file system was marked as suspended.
Detect if secondary writes or softdep processing occurred during vnode sync
loop in ffs_sync() and retry the loop if needed.

has many positive effects including improved smp locking, reducing
interdependencies between mounts that can lead to deadlocks, etc.
- Add the softdep worklist and various counters to the ufsmnt structure.
- Add a mount pointer to the workitem and remove mount pointers from the
various structures derived from the workitem as they are now redundant.
- Remove the poor-man's semaphore protecting softdep_process_worklist and
softdep_flushworklist. Several threads may now process the list
simultaneously.
- Add softdep_waitidle() to block the thread until all pending
dependencies being operated on by other threads have been flushed.
- Use softdep_waitidle() in unmount and snapshots to block either
operation until the fs is stable.
- Remove softdep worklist processing from the syncer and move it into the
softdep_flush() thread. This thread processes all softdep mounts
once each second and when it is called via the new softdep_speedup()
when there is a resource shortage. This removes the softdep hook
from the kernel and various hacks in header files to support it.

directory. vrele() may lock the passed vnode, which in these cases would
give an invalid lock order of child -> parent. These situations are
deadlock prone although do not typically deadlock because the vrele
is typically not releasing the last reference to the vnode. Users of
vrele must consider it as a call to vn_lock() and order it appropriately.

case by saving the value of dp->i_ino before unlocking the vnode
for the current directory and passing the saved value to VFS_VGET().
Without this change, another thread can overwrite dp->i_ino after
the current directory is unlocked, causing ufs_lookup() to lock
and return the wrong vnode in place of the vnode for its parent
directory. A deadlock can occur if dp->i_ino was changed to a
subdirectory of the current directory because the root to leaf vnode
lock ordering will be violated. A vnode lock can be leaked if
dp->i_ino was changed to point to the current directory, which
causes the current vnode lock for the current directory to be
recursed, which confuses lookup() into calling vrele() when it
should be calling vput().
The probability of this bug being triggered seems to be quite low
unless the sysctl variable debug.vfscache is set to 0.

updated by a process holding the snapshot lock. Another process updating a
different inode in the same inodeblock will do copy on write checks and lock in
the opposite direction.
The snapshot code force a copy on write of these blocks manually (cf. start of
expunge_ufs[12]) and these inode blocks are later put on snapblklist.
This partial fix is to 'drain' the relevant ffs_copyonwrite() operation after
installing new snapblklist. This is not a 100% solution since a failed block
allocation can cause implicit fsync() which might deadlock before the new
snapblklist has been installed.

Another process might be in ffs_copyonwrite(), trying to allocate a new block

Release the cg map buffer early and use the copy for most of the cgaccount

stale flag bits left over from before the inode was recycled.
Without this change, a leftover IN_SPACECOUNTED flag could prevent
softdep_freefile() and softdep_releasefile() from incrementing
fs_pendinginodes. Because handle_workitem_freefile() unconditionally
decrements fs_pendinginodes, a negative value could be reported at
file system unmount time with a message like:
unmount pending error: blocks 0 files -3
The pending block count in fs_pendingblocks could also be negative
for similar reasons. These errors can cause the data returned by
statfs() to be slightly incorrect. Some other cleanup code in
softdep_releasefile() could also be incorrectly bypassed.

Add a new private thread flag to indicate that the thread should
not sleep if runningbufspace is too large.
Set this flag on the bufdaemon and syncer threads so that they skip
the waitrunningbufspace() call in bufwrite() rather than than
checking the proc pointer vs. the known proc pointers for these two
threads. A way of preventing these threads from being starved for
I/O but still placing limits on their outstanding I/O would be
desirable.
Set this flag in ffs_copyonwrite() to prevent bufwrite() calls from
blocking on the runningbufspace check while holding snaplk. This
prevents snaplk from being held for an arbitrarily long period of
time if runningbufspace is high and greatly reduces the contention
for snaplk. The disadvantage is that ffs_copyonwrite() can start
a large amount of I/O if there are a large number of snapshots,
which could cause a deadlock in other parts of the code.
Call runningbufwakeup() in ffs_copyonwrite() to decrement runningbufspace
before attempting to grab snaplk so that I/O requests waiting on
snaplk are not counted in runningbufspace as being in-progress.
Increment runningbufspace again before actually launching the
original I/O request.
Prior to the above two changes, the system could deadlock if enough
I/O requests were blocked by snaplk to prevent runningbufspace from
falling below lorunningspace and one of the bawrite() calls in
ffs_copyonwrite() blocked in waitrunningbufspace() while holding
snaplk.
