The general trend is to remove it from all kernel interfaces and

* while rototilling, convert file systems which went easily to
use VFS_PROTOS() instead of manually prototyping the methods
fs code is a kernel buffer, pass though the length of the buffer as well.
Since the length of the userspace buffer isn'it (yet) passed through the mount
system call, add a field to the vfsops structure containing the default length.
Split sys_mount() for calls from compat code.
Ride one of the recent kernel version changes - old fs LKMs will load, but
sys_mount() will reject any attempt to use them.
- Make quota-internal functions static.
- Clean up declarations in quota.h and ufs_extern.h. quota.h now has the
description of quota criterions, on-disk structure, user-kernel interface and
declaration of init/done functions. All ufs quota related function
prototypes go to ufs_extern.h.
- New functions ufsquota_init() and ufsquota_free() create or destroy the
quota fields of `struct inode'.
- chkdq() and chkiq() always update the quota fields of `struct inode' first.
- Only ufs_access() explicitely calls getinoquota().

Froyen, patch posted/tested by Blair Sadewitz.
The suspension helpers are now put into file system specific operations.
This means every file system not supporting these helpers cannot be suspended
and therefore snapshots are no longer possible.
Implemented for file systems of type ffs.
The new API is enabled on a kernel option NEWVNGATE. This option is
not enabled by default in any kernel config.

loops where vnodes can get removed or added during the loops. This could
lead to panic's on unmount since nodes are skipped or otherwise
TAILQ_NEXT(0xdeadbeef, ...) was dereferenced.
vnodes were synced and processed backwards. This meant that the last
accessed node was processed first and the earlierst last.
An extra benefit is the removal of the ugly hack from the Berkly days on
LFS.
In the proces, i've also replaced the various variations hand written loops
by the TAILQ_FOREACH() macro's.

- Remove all NFS related stuff from file system specific code.
- Drop the vfs_checkexp hook and generalize it in the new nfs_check_export
function, thus removing redundancy from all file systems.
- Move all NFS export-related stuff from kern/vfs_subr.c to the new
file sys/nfs/nfs_export.c. The former was becoming large and its code
is always compiled, regardless of the build options. Using the latter,
the code is only compiled in when NFSSERVER is enabled. While doing this,
also make some functions in nfs_subs.c conditional to NFSSERVER.
- Add a new command in nfssvc(2), called NFSSVC_SETEXPORTSLIST, that takes a
path and a set of export entries. At the moment it can only clear the
exports list or append entries, one by one, but it is done in a way that
allows setting the whole set of entries atomically in the future (see the
comment in mountd_set_exports_list or in doc/TODO).
- Change mountd(8) to use the nfssvc(2) system call instead of mount(2) so
that it becomes file system agnostic. In fact, all this whole thing was
done to remove a 'XXX' block from this utility!
- Change the mount*, newfs and fsck* userland utilities to not deal with NFS
exports initialization; done internally by the kernel when initializing
the NFS support for each file system.
- Implement an interface for VFS (called VFS hooks) so that several kernel
subsystems can run arbitrary code upon receipt of specific VFS events.
At the moment, this only provides support for unmount and is used to
destroy NFS exports lists from the file systems being unmounted, though it
has room for extension.

backing file per attribute type indexed by inode number to hold the extended

This is working pretty well on my test systems, except for the "autostart"
feature. I need someone with a better handle on the VFS locking protocol
to go over that.
This is a work-in-progress. There are parts of this that could be re-factored
allowing this approach to be used on other types of file systems.

- Use VFS_ATTACH() where vfsops are declared for individual file systems.
- In vfsinit(), traverse the "vfsops" link set, rather than vfs_list_initial[].
and just passes it on to the file system functions. This avoids opening and
closing the device several times.
Mentioned on tech-kern some time ago, IIRC. I've been running this for a
long time.
calls to ensure that the vnode lock state is as expected when the VOP
call is made. Modify vnode_if.src to set the expected state according
to the documenting lock table for each VOP. Modify vnode_if.sh to emit
the checks.
Notes:
- The checks are only performed if the vnode has the VLOCKSWORK bit
set. Some file systems (e.g. specfs) don't even bother with vnode
locks, so of course the checks will fail.
- We can't actually run with VNODE_LOCKDEBUG because there are so many
vnode locking problems, not the least of which is the "use SHARED for
VOP_READ()" issue, which screws things up for the entire call chain.
Inspired by similar changes in OpenBSD, but implemented differently.
* Rather than using mnt_maxsymlinklen to indicate that a file systems returns
d_type fields(!), add a new internal flag, IMNT_DTYPE.
Add 3 new elements to ufsmount:
* um_maxsymlinklen, replaces mnt_maxsymlinklen (which never should have existed
in the first place).
* um_dirblksiz, which tracks the current directory block size, eliminating the
FS-specific checks littered throughout the code. This may be used later to
make the block size variable.
* um_maxfilesize, which is the maximum file size, possibly adjusted lower due
to implementation issues.
Sync some bug fixes from FFS into ext2fs, particularly:
* ffs_lookup.c 1.21, 1.28, 1.33, 1.48
* ffs_inode.c 1.43, 1.44, 1.45, 1.66, 1.67
* ffs_vnops.c 1.84, 1.85, 1.86
Clean up some crappy pointer frobnication.
setting those flags, it does not cause the inode to be written in the periodic
sync. This is used for writes to special files (devices and named pipes) and
FIFOs.
Do not preemptively sync updates to access times and modification times. They
are now updated in the inode only opportunistically, or when the file or device
is closed. (Really, it should be delayed beyond close, but this is enough to
help substantially with device nodes.)
And the most amusing part:
Trickle sync was broken on both FFS and ext2fs, in different ways. In FFS, the
periodic call to VFS_SYNC(MNT_LAZY) was still causing all file data to be
synced. In ext2fs, it was causing the metadata to *not* be synced. We now
only call VOP_UPDATE() on the node if we're doing MNT_LAZY. I've confirmed
that we do in fact trickle correctly now.
- Not enabled by default. Needs kernel option FFS_SNAPSHOT.
- Change parameters of ffs_blkfree.
- Let the copy-on-write functions return an error so spec_strategy
may fail if the copy-on-write fails.
- Change genfs_*lock*() to use vp->v_vnlock instead of &vp->v_lock.
- Add flag B_METAONLY to VOP_BALLOC to return indirect block buffer.
- Add a function ffs_checkfreefile needed for snapshot creation.
- Add special handling of snapshot files:
Snapshots may not be opened for writing and the attributes are read-only.
Use the mtime as the time this snapshot was taken.
Deny mtime updates for snapshot files.
- Add function transferlockers to transfer any waiting processes from
one lock to another.
- Add vfsop VFS_SNAPSHOT to take a snapshot and make it accessible through
a vnode.
- Add snapshot support to ls, fsck_ffs and dump.

This adds pools to the list of things that lkms must do manually

wrong with link sets, but that we need to try harder to remember that

Gone are the old kern_sysctl(), cpu_sysctl(), hw_sysctl(),
vfs_sysctl(), etc, routines, along with sysctl_int() et al. Now all
nodes are registered with the tree, and nodes can be added (or
removed) easily, and I/O to and from the tree is handled generically.
Since the nodes are registered with the tree, the mapping from name to
number (and back again) can now be discovered, instead of having to be
hard coded. Adding new nodes to the tree is likewise much simpler --
the new infrastructure handles almost all the work for simple types,
and just about anything else can be done with a small helper function.
All existing nodes are where they were before (numerically speaking),
so all existing consumers of sysctl information should notice no
difference.
PS - I'm sorry, but there's a distinct lack of documentation at the
moment. I'm working on sysctl(3/8/9) right now, and I promise to
watch out for buses.

The function vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a file
