This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
exist on an on-disk inode, we keep a record of its size in struct inode,
which is updated when we write the block to disk. The cleaner routines
thus have ready access to what size is the correct size for this block,
on disk.
Fixed a related bug: if a file with fragments is being cleaned
(fragments being cleaned) at the same time it is being extended beyond
NDADDR blocks, we could write a bogus FINFO record that has a frag in the
middle; when it was cleaned this would give back bogus file data. Don't
write the indirect blocks in this case, since there is no need.
lfs_fragextend and lfs_truncate no longer require the seglock, but instead
take a shared lock, which the seglock locks exclusively.
processes don't have to wait for one another to finish (e.g., nfsd seems
to be a little happier now, though I haven't measured the difference).
Synchronous checkpoints, however, must always wait for all i/o to finish.
Take the contents of the callback functions and have them run in thread
context instead (aiodoned thread). lfs_iocount no longer has to be
protected in splbio(), and quite a bit less of the segment construction
loop needs to be in splbio() as well.
If lfs_markv is handed a block that is not the correct size according to
the inode, refuse to process it. (Formerly it was extended to the "correct"
size.) This is possibly more prone to deadlock, but less prone to corruption.
lfs_segclean now outright refuses to clean segments that appear to have live
bytes in them. Again this may be more prone to deadlock but avoids
corruption.
Replace ufsspec_close and ufsfifo_close with LFS equivalents; this means
that no UFS functions need to know about LFS_ITIMES any more. Remove
the reference from ufs/inode.h.
Tested on i386, test-compiled on alpha.
this enables one to recover data from a failing disk (where the read failure
is a hardware problem) while avoiding corrupting the fs further (in the case
where the read failure is due to a misconfiguration).
as well as bi_daddr. This lets the cleaner have an idea of what the size
of this block was at the time it was written without having to refer to
a segment header (e.g., in the file coalescing case).
Tested on i386.
enough to be useful, and broadening it so that it did would have meant
that operations possibly requiring synchronous disk activity would have
to be done in splbio(). This clearly was not going to work.
Worked around this in the LFS case by having lfs_cluster_callback put an
extra hold on the vnode before calling biodone(), and taking the hold
off without HOLDRELE's problematic list swapping. lfs_vunref() will take
care of that---in thread context---on the next write if need be.
Also, ensure that the list walking in lfs_{writevnodes,segunlock,gather}
takes into account the possibility that the list may change
underneath it (possibly because it itself deleted an element).

I found while making sure there weren't any new ones.
* Make the write clusters keep track of the buffers whose blocks they contain.
This should make it possible to (1) write clusters using a page mapping
instead of malloc, if desired, and (2) schedule blocks for rewriting
(somewhere else) if a write error occurs. Code is present to use
pagemove() to construct the clusters but that is untested and will go away
anyway in favor of page mapping.
* DEBUG now keeps a log of Ifile writes, so that any lingering instances of
the "dirty bufs" problem can be properly debugged.
* Keep track of whether the Ifile has been dirtied by various routines that
can be called by lfs_segwrite, and loop on that until it is clean, for
a checkpoint. Checkpoints need to be squeaky clean.
* Warn the user (once) if the Ifile grows larger than is reasonable for their
buffer cache. Both lfs_mountfs and lfs_unmount check since the Ifile can
grow.
* If an inode is not found in a disk block, try rereading the block, under
the assumption that the block was copied to a cluster and then freed.
* Protect WRITEINPROG() with splbio() to fix a hang in lfs_update.
- If VOP_ACCESS fails when updating mount, we will vrele() twice.
- The check for update-only flags in mp->mnt_flag when not updating
case is bogus. If we really want to check, we need to see flags in
ufs_args, but I'm not sure if it is really necessary.
- The credential passed to ffs_reload was credential of when looking
up mount point, but now it is credential of when looking up device
node. Anyway, it may be current process's credential.
to verify that the device is at least as big as the superblock claims
the filesystem is supposed to be, and if it's not then fail the mount.
this should help reduce the type of confusion reported in PR 13228.
deal with shortages of the VM maps where the backing pages are mapped
(usually kmem_map). Try to deal with this:
* Group all information about the backend allocator for a pool in a
separate structure. The pool references this structure, rather than
the individual fields.
* Change the pool_init() API accordingly, and adjust all callers.
* Link all pools using the same backend allocator on a list.
* The backend allocator is responsible for waiting for physical memory
to become available, but will still fail if it cannot callocate KVA
space for the pages. If this happens, carefully drain all pools using
the same backend allocator, so that some KVA space can be freed.
* Change pool_reclaim() to indicate if it actually succeeded in freeing
some pages, and use that information to make draining easier and more
efficient.
* Get rid of PR_URGENT. There was only one use of it, and it could be
dealt with by the caller.

Fixes problem with statfs reporting too much free space for filesystems
which have files pending to be freed by softdeps.

Occationally deleted files would hang around for hours or days
without being reclaimed. This bug was introduced in revision 1.95
dealing with filenames placed in newly allocated directory blocks,
thus is not present in 4.X systems. The bug is triggered when a
new entry is made in a directory after the data block containing
the original new entry has been written, but before the inode
that references the data block has been written.

This should fix NetBSD PR 15531.
do not mark the filesystem clean, as this will mean that one or more
files were likely not completely removed (will show up as unconnected
in fsck). Prevents filesystems from being marked clean while they're
not until this problem has been figured out.
would result in a vop_inactive call for the vnode each time, resulting
in vinvalbuf->fsync. The original softdep code avoided the fsync
in vinvalbuf by not calling it if there were no dirty blocks. This
was changed in NetBSD. Also, flush_inodedeps was changed to mark
the inode as modified so that it would do an inode update and flush the
last one. This combination basically caused a sync write for each removed
file in an rm -rf (showing up delayed from the syncer a lot of the time).
If called from vinvalbuf (FSYNC_RECLAIM), and there were no dirty blocks
or pages to begin with, still do everything as normal, so that possible dirty
blocks in transit to disk are properly waited for, etc, but don't pass
UPDATE_WAIT to VOP_UPDATE, since there is no need for it in that case.
from Kirk McKusick. They implement taking pending block/inode frees
into account for the sake of correct statfs() numbers, and adding
a new softdep type (newdirblk) to correctly handle newly allocated
directory blocks.
Minor additional changes: 1) swap the newly introduced fs_pendinginodes
and fs_pendingblock fields in ffs_sb_swap, and 2) declare lkt_held
in the debug version of the softdep lock structure volatile, as it
can be modified from interrupt context #ifdef DEBUG.
was wrong, so fix it right this time. undo the previous change and
instead, replace the troublesome VOP_FSYNC()s with code that just flushes
the particular indirect blocks that we allocated. this resolves the
softdeps for those blocks. then we can change the pointer for
the first indirect block we allocated to zero, write that, and finally
invalidate all the indirect blocks we've touched. also, wait until
after we finish all this before freeing any blocks we allocated.
fixes PRs 14413 and 14423.
deal with the fragment expansion separately before the rest of the operation.
this allows us to simplify ufs_balloc_range() by not worrying about implicit
fragment expansion.
call VOP_PUTPAGES() directly for vnodes instead of
going through the UVM pager "put" vector.
