Extend the ino_t, dev_t, nlink_t types to 64-bit ints. Modify
struct dirent layout to add d_off, increase the size of d_fileno
to 64-bits, increase the size of d_namlen to 16-bits, and change
the required alignment. Increase struct statfs f_mntfromname[] and
f_mntonname[] array length MNAMELEN to 1024.
ABI breakage is mitigated by providing compatibility using versioned
symbols, ingenious use of the existing padding in structures, and
by employing other tricks. Unfortunately, not everything can be
fixed, especially outside the base system. For instance, third-party
APIs which pass struct stat around are broken in backward and
forward incompatible ways.
Kinfo sysctl MIBs ABI is changed in backward-compatible way, but
there is no general mechanism to handle other sysctl MIBS which
return structures where the layout has changed. It was considered
that the breakage is either in the management interfaces, where we
usually allow ABI slip, or is not important.
Struct xvnode changed layout, no compat shims are provided.
For struct xtty, dev_t tty device member was reduced to uint32_t.
It was decided that keeping ABI compat in this case is more useful
than reporting 64-bit dev_t, for the sake of pstat.
Update note: strictly follow the instructions in UPDATING. Build
and install the new kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option enabled,
then reboot, and only then install new world.
Credits: The 64-bit inode project, also known as ino64, started life
many years ago as a project by Gleb Kurtsou (gleb). Kirk McKusick
(mckusick) then picked up and updated the patch, and acted as a
flag-waver. Feedback, suggestions, and discussions were carried
by Ed Maste (emaste), John Baldwin (jhb), Jilles Tjoelker (jilles),
and Rick Macklem (rmacklem). Kris Moore (kris) performed an initial
ports investigation followed by an exp-run by Antoine Brodin (antoine).
Essential and all-embracing testing was done by Peter Holm (pho).
The heavy lifting of coordinating all these efforts and bringing the
project to completion were done by Konstantin Belousov (kib).

A long long time ago the register keyword told the compiler to store
the corresponding variable in a CPU register, but it is not relevant
for any compiler used in the FreeBSD world today.

use VOP_FSYNC() to perform the NFS server's Commit operation.
This patch adds a mnt_kern_flag called MNTK_USES_BCACHE which
is set by file systems that use the buffer cache. If this flag
is not set, the NFS server always does a VOP_FSYNC().
This should be ok for old file system modules that do not set
MNTK_USES_BCACHE, since calling VOP_FSYNC() is correct, although
it might not be optimal for file systems that use the buffer cache.

error cases. Calling brelse() with a NULL pointer is not allowed,
so only call brelse() when the bp is non-NULL.
Reported by: Maxime Villard (reported as uninitialized variable)
into namecache, to avoid cache trashing when doing large operations.
E.g., tar archive extraction is not usually followed by access to many
of the files created.
Right now, each VOP_LOOKUP() implementation explicitely knowns about
this quirk and tests for both MAKEENTRY flag presence and op != CREATE
to make the call to cache_enter(). Centralize the handling of the
quirk into VFS, by deciding to cache only by MAKEENTRY flag in VOP.
VFS now sets NOCACHE flag for CREATE namei() calls.
Note that the change in semantic is backward-compatible and could be
merged to the stable branch, and is compatible with non-changed
third-party filesystems which correctly handle MAKEENTRY.

- Use a shared bufobj lock in getblk() and inmem().
- Convert softdep's lk to rwlock to match the bufobj lock.
- Move INFREECNT to b_flags and protect it with the buf lock.
- Remove unnecessary locking around bremfree() and BKGRDINPROG.

The NAND Flash environment consists of several distinct components:
- NAND framework (drivers harness for NAND controllers and NAND chips)
- NAND simulator (NANDsim)
- NAND file system (NAND FS)
- Companion tools and utilities
- Documentation (manual pages)
