to determine if this filesystem was mounted by an older kernel after
having been mounted by a newer one, to avoid some summary mismatches.
* Reinstate support for 4.2 cylinder groups (read-only, as it was before).
64 bit block pointers, extended attribute storage, and a few
other things.
This commit does not yet include the code to manipulate the extended
storage (for e.g. ACLs), this will be done later.

FreeBSD.
(there are still some details to work out) but expect that to go
away soon. To support these basic changes (creation of lfs_putpages,
lfs_gop_write, mods to lfs_balloc) several other changes were made, to
wit:
* Create a writer daemon kernel thread whose purpose is to handle page
writes for the pagedaemon, but which also takes over some of the
functions of lfs_check(). This thread is started the first time an
LFS is mounted.
* Add a "flags" parameter to GOP_SIZE. Current values are
GOP_SIZE_READ, meaning that the call should return the size of the
in-core version of the file, and GOP_SIZE_WRITE, meaning that it
should return the on-disk size. One of GOP_SIZE_READ or
GOP_SIZE_WRITE must be specified.
* Instead of using malloc(...M_WAITOK) for everything, reserve enough
resources to get by and use malloc(...M_NOWAIT), using the reserves if
necessary. Use the pool subsystem for structures small enough that
this is feasible. This also obsoletes LFS_THROTTLE.
And a few that are not strictly necessary:
* Moves the LFS inode extensions off onto a separately allocated
structure; getting closer to LFS as an LKM. "Welcome to 1.6O."
* Unified GOP_ALLOC between FFS and LFS.
* Update LFS copyright headers to correct values.
* Actually cast to unsigned in lfs_shellsort, like the comment says.
* Keep track of which segments were empty before the previous
checkpoint; any segments that pass two checkpoints both dirty and
empty can be summarily cleaned. Do this. Right now lfs_segclean
still works, but this should be turned into an effectless
compatibility syscall.
malloc types into a structure, a pointer to which is passed around,
instead of an int constant. Allow the limit to be adjusted when the
malloc type is defined, or with a function call, as suggested by
Jonathan Stone.
- move calls to softdep_setup_pagecache() (which can sleep to allocate
memory) outside the softdep lock.
- replace the softdep_flush_indir() hack (which tries to find another
vnode to fsync when we are holding lots of buffer-cache buffers locked
for long periods of time) with softdep_trackbufs() (which just kicks
the syncer and sleeps under the same circumstances). the former method
had a lock-ordering problem which would occasionally deadlock.
- relax the assertion in softdep_sync_metadata() which says that we should
never see D_ALLOCDIRECT deps for VREG vnodes. it's ok to see those
attached to indirect blocks.
also, there's no need to splbio() while allocating the buffer headers
to which pagecache dependencies are attached, so remove that.
fixes all the problems in PR 19288.
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
This is the bulk of PR #17345
The general approach is to use a run time deteriminable value
for DIRBLKSIZ. Additional allowances are included for using
MAXSYMLINKLEN with FS_42INODEFMT and a shift in the cylinder group
cluster summary count array. Support is added for managing
the Apple UFS volume label.
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.
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).
- 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.
