- rather than embedding bufq_state in driver softc,
have a pointer to the former.
- move bufq related functions from kern/subr_disk.c to kern/subr_bufq.c.
- rename method to strategy for consistency.
- move some definitions which don't need to be exposed to the rest of kernel
from sys/bufq.h to sys/bufq_impl.h.
(is it better to move it to kern/ or somewhere?)
- fix some obvious breakage in dev/qbus/ts.c. (not tested)
- Add FSSIOFSET and FSSIOFGET ioctl() to set/get the flags.
- Add FSS_UNCONFIG_ON_CLOSE flag to unconfigure the snapshot device
on the last close.

doing copy-on-write.
- Change VFS_SNAPSHOT() to return the snapshot vnode locked.
- Make the IO path for copy-on-write and snapshot-read more lightweight.
Avoids deadlocks where vn_rdwr(...READ...) has a shared lock and needs
to copy-on-write.
Avoids deadlocks/panics where to clean pages the copy-on-write needs
to allocate pages for its VOP_PUTPAGES().
L_COWINPROGRESS part approved by: Jason R. Thorpe <thorpej@netbsd.org>
- 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.

Used by fss(4). Future file-system-internal snapshots will need them too.

VOP_STRATEGY(bp) is replaced by one of two new functions:
- VOP_STRATEGY(vp, bp) Call the strategy routine of vp for bp.
- DEV_STRATEGY(bp) Call the d_strategy routine of bp->b_dev for bp.
DEV_STRATEGY(bp) is used only for block-to-block device situations.
- Document the kernel thread.
- Rename some functions and variables.
- Return EROFS where appropriate.
- Use shifts instead of 64-bit divide.
- Use a simple_lock to make it MP-safe.
- Add M_CANFAIL to malloc to avoid panic on large cluster size.
- Allow sparse file for backing store and use VOP_BALLOC() to allocate
space. Default size of backing store is the size of the file system.
suspending.
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.
Uses a hook in spec_strategy() to save data written from a mounted
file system to its block device and a hook in dounmount().
Not enabled by default in any kernel config.
