limits in the code which is deep in the call stack, and owns several
critical system resources, like vnode locks. Attempt to wait while
the per-mount softupdate thread cleans up the backlog may deadlock,
because the thread might need to lock the same vnode which is owned by
the waiting thread.
Instead of synchronously waiting for the worker, perform the worker'
tickle and pause until the backlog is cleaned, at the safe point
during return from kernel to usermode. A new ast request to call
softdep_ast_cleanup() is created, the SU code now only checks the size
of queue and schedules ast.
There is no ast delivery for the kernel threads, so they are exempted
from the mechanism, except NFS daemon threads. NFS server loop
explicitely checks for the request, and informs the schedule_cleanup()
that it is capable of handling the requests by the process P2_AST_SU
flag. This is needed because nfsd may be the sole cause of the SU
workqueue overflow. But, to not cause nsfd to spawn additional
threads just because we slow down existing workers, only tickle su
threads, without waiting for the backlog cleanup.

so that it would not return less data than requested.
Since returning less directory data than requested is not a problem
for FreeBSD and even UFS no longer returns directory structures
with d_fileno == 0, this patch stops the client from doing this.
Although entries with d_fileno == 0 should not be a problem,
the man pages no longer document that these entries should be
ignored, so there was a concern that these entries might be an
issue in the future.

Present implementation of large sync writes is too strict and so can be

syncing each chunk separately.
It would be good to fix large sync writes too, but I leave it to somebody

largest size for a buffer in the buffer cache. This patch
defines a new constant MAXBCACHEBUF, which is the largest
size for a buffer in the buffer cache. Having a separate
constant allows MAXBCACHEBUF to be set larger than MAXBSIZE
on a per-architecture basis, so that NFS can do larger read/writes
for these architectures. It modifies sys/param.h so that BKVASIZE
can also be set on a per-architecture basis.
A couple of cases where NFS used MAXBSIZE instead of NFS_MAXBSIZE
is fixed as well.

The htree directory index is a highly desirable feature for research
purposes and was meant to improve performance in our ext2/3 driver.
Unfortunately our implementation has two problems:
- It never really delivered any performance improvement.
- It appears to corrupt the filesystem in undetermined circumstances.
Strictly speaking dir_index is not required for read/write support in
ext2/3 and our limited ext4 support still works fine without it.
Regain stability in the ext2 driver by removing it. We may need it back
(fixed) if we want to support encrypted ext4 support but thanks to the
wonders of version control we can always revert this change and bring it
back.

This patch changes NFS_MAXDATA from 64K to 128K so that
clients can use 128K for NFS mounts to allow this.
The patch also renames NFS_MAXDATA to NFS_SRVMAXIO so
that it is clear that it applies to the NFS server side
only. It also avoids a name conflict with the NFS_MAXDATA
defined in rpcsvc/nfs_prot.h, that is used for userland RPC.

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.

For all other vnodes, return the tmpfs_node's tn_size, which should not

on reads or writes, the time marks are used to display idle time by

precision vs. using time_second. The later gives seconds precision,
which is good enough for the purpose.
Note that timestamp updates are unlocked and the updates itself, as
well as the check in devfs_timestamp, are non-atomic.

The magic number MSDOSFS_ARGSMAGIC, which used to distinguish

Likewise, the local-to-Unicode table that changed at the same

Leave the space reserved in the old style mount arguments, though,
since we still support the old mount call (via the cmount entry

Currently we update timestamps unconditionally when doing read or
write operations. This may slow things down on hardware where
reading timestamps is expensive (e.g. HPET, because of the default
vfs.timestamp_precision setting is nanosecond now) with limited
benefit.
A new sysctl variable, vfs.devfs.dotimes is added, which can be
set to non-zero value when the old behavior is desirable.
