Move vfs_write_suspend() and vfs_write_resume() from kern/vfs_vnops.c
to kern/vfs_subr.c.
Change vnode write gating in ufs/ffs/ffs_softdep.c (from FreeBSD).
When vnodes are throttled in softdep_trackbufs() check for
file system suspension every 10 msecs to avoid a deadlock.
virtual memory reservation and a private pool of memory pages -- by a scheme
based on memory pools.
This allows better utilization of memory because buffers can now be allocated
with a granularity finer than the system's native page size (useful for
filesystems with e.g. 1k or 2k fragment sizes). It also avoids fragmentation
of virtual to physical memory mappings (due to the former fixed virtual
address reservation) resulting in better utilization of MMU resources on some
platforms. Finally, the scheme is more flexible by allowing run-time decisions
on the amount of memory to be used for buffers.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the LRU queue for buffer recycling
may be somewhat reduced compared to the traditional method since, due to the
nature of the pool based memory allocation, the actual least recently used
buffer may release its memory to a pool different from the one needed by a
newly allocated buffer. However, this effect will kick in only if the
system is under memory pressure.
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.
file system.
The function vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a file
system, allows any file system modifying system calls already in progress
to complete, then sync's the file system to disk and returns. The
function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to
complete.

bump kernel version to 1.6ZD
* Remove the "lwp *" argument that was added to vget(). Turns out
that nothing actually used it!
* Remove the "lwp *" arguments that were added to VFS_ROOT(), VFS_VGET(),
and VFS_FHTOVP(); all they did was pass it to vget() (which, as noted
above, didn't use it).
* Remove all of the "lwp *" arguments to internal functions that were added
just to appease the above.

"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.

1. sa_len was not properly checked.
2. sa_family was not properly checked [even used as an array index!]
3. we only know about inet4 and inet6, so make sure that the corresponding
data is valid before using it.
4. keep reference counts of addresses used (is that necessary?)
- Under chroot it displays only the visible filesystems with appropriate paths.
- The statfs f_mntonname gets adjusted to contain the real path from root.
- While was there, fixed a bug in ext2fs, locking problems with vfs_getfsstat(),
and factored out some of the vfsop statfs() code to copy_statfs_info(). This
fixes the problem where some filesystems forgot to set fsid.
- Made coda look more like a normal fs.
