buffer cache flags, to marking the inode and/or indirect blocks with a
special disk address UNWRITTEN==-2 when a block is accounted for. (This
address is never written to disk, but only used in-core. This is essentially
the same method of block accounting as on the UBC branch, where the buffer
headers don't exist.) Make sure that truncation is handled properly,
especially in the case of holey files.
Fixes PR#9994.
(Previously buffers could be marked dirty by the cleaner, and possibly by
other means.)
Also check for softdep mount in vfs_shutdown before trying to bawrite
buffers, since other filesystems don't need it and lfs doesn't bawrite.

post-mortem of a production machine. Also, take the active dirop
count off of the fs and make it global (since it is measuring a global
resource) and tie the threshold value LFS_MAXDIROP to desiredvnodes.
fail, because the particular block being requested was always in the cache
(although other routines that cannot afford to call lfs_check have in the
meantime stuffed the cache full of dirty blocks). Partially addresses PR 8383.
will DTRT with vnodes marked VDIROP. In particular, the message
"flushing VDIROP" will no longer appear, and the filesystem will remain
stable in the event of a crash.
This was particularly a problem with NFS-exported LFSes, since fsync
was called on every file close.
if we are short on vnodes, lfs_vflush from another process can grab a
vnode that lfs_markv has already processed but not yet written; but
lfs_markv holds the seglock. When lfs_vflush gets around to writing it,
the context for copyin is gone. So, now lfs_markv calls copyin itself,
rather than having lfs_writeseg do it.
include:
- DIROP segregation is enabled, and greater care is taken
to make sure that a checkpoint completes. Fsck is not
needed to remount the filesystem.
- Several checks to make sure that the LFS subsystem does not
overuse various resources (memory, in particular).
- The cleaner routines, lfs_markv in particular, are completely
rewritten. A buffer overflow is removed. Greater care is taken
to ensure that inodes come from where lfs_cleanerd say they come
from (so we know nothing has changed since lfs_bmapv was called).
- Fragment allocation is fixed, so that writes beyond end-of-file
do the right thing.
