Revert r330897:

This was intended to be a non-functional change. It wasn't. The commit
message was thus wrong. In addition it broke arm, and merged crypto
related code.

Revert with prejudice.

This revert skips files touched in r316370 since that commit was since
MFCed. This revert also skips files that require $FreeBSD$ property
changes.

Thank you to those who helped me get out of this mess including but not
limited to gonzo, kevans, rgrimes.

# 222167 21-May-2011 rmacklem

Add a lock flags argument to the VFS_FHTOVP() file system
method, so that callers can indicate the minimum vnode
locking requirement. This will allow some file systems to choose
to return a LK_SHARED locked vnode when LK_SHARED is specified
for the flags argument. This patch only adds the flag. It
does not change any file system to use it and all callers
specify LK_EXCLUSIVE, so file system semantics are not changed.

# 220985 24-Apr-2011 kib

VFS sometimes is unable to inactivate a vnode when vnode use count
goes to zero. E.g., the vnode might be only shared-locked at the time of
vput() call. Such vnodes are kept in the hash, so they can be found later.

If ffs_valloc() allocated an inode that has its vnode cached in hash, and
still owing the inactivation, then vget() call from ffs_valloc() clears
VI_OWEINACT, and then the vnode is reused for the newly allocated inode.

The problem is, the vnode is not reclaimed before it is put to the new
use. ffs_valloc() recycles vnode vm object, but this is not enough.
In particular, at least v_vflag should be cleared, and several bits of
UFS state need to be removed.

It is very inconvenient to call vgone() at this point. Instead, move
some parts of ufs_reclaim() into helper function ufs_prepare_reclaim(),
and call the helper from VOP_RECLAIM and ffs_valloc().

In ufs_checkpath(), recheck that '..' still points to the inode with
the same inode number after VFS_VGET() and relock of the vp. If '..'
changed, redo the lookup. To reduce code duplication, move the code to
read '..' dirent into the static helper function ufs_dir_dd_ino().

Supply the source inode number as an argument to ufs_checkpath() instead
of the source inode itself. The inode is unlocked, thus it might be
reclaimed, causing accesses to the freed memory.

Use vn_vget_ino() to get the '..' vnode by its inode number, instead of
directly code VFS_VGET() and relock, to properly busy the mount point
while vp lock is dropped.

Back when VOP_* was introduced, we did not have new-style struct
initializations but we did have lofty goals and big ideals.

Adjust to more contemporary circumstances and gain type checking.

Replace the entire vop_t frobbing thing with properly typed
structures. The only casualty is that we can not add a new
VOP_ method with a loadable module. History has not given
us reason to belive this would ever be feasible in the the
first place.

Eliminate in toto VOCALL(), vop_t, VNODEOP_SET() etc.

Give coda correct prototypes and function definitions for
all vop_()s.

Generate a bit more data from the vnode_if.src file: a
struct vop_vector and protype typedefs for all vop methods.

Add a new vop_bypass() and make vop_default be a pointer
to another struct vop_vector.

Remove a lot of vfs_init since vop_vector is ready to use
from the compiler.

Cast various vop_mumble() to void * with uppercase name,
for instance VOP_PANIC, VOP_NULL etc.

Implement VCALL() by making vdesc_offset the offsetof() the
relevant function pointer in vop_vector. This is disgusting
but since the code is generated by a script comparatively
safe. The alternative for nullfs etc. would be much worse.

Fix up all vnode method vectors to remove casts so they
become typesafe. (The bulk of this is generated by scripts)

# 105422 18-Oct-2002 dillon

Fix a file-rewrite performance case for UFS[2]. When rewriting portions
of a file in chunks that are less then the filesystem block size, if the
data is not already cached the system will perform a read-before-write.
The problem is that it does this on a block-by-block basis, breaking up the
I/Os and making clustering impossible for the writes. Programs such
as INN using cyclic file buffers suffer greatly. This problem is only going
to get worse as we use larger and larger filesystem block sizes.

The solution is to extend the sequential heuristic so UFS[2] can perform
a far larger read and readahead when dealing with this case.

(note: maximum disk write bandwidth is 27MB/sec thru filesystem)
(note: filesystem blocksize in test is 8K (1K frag))

# 100344 19-Jul-2002 mckusick

Add support to UFS2 to provide storage for extended attributes.
As this code is not actually used by any of the existing
interfaces, it seems unlikely to break anything (famous
last words).

The internal kernel interface to manipulate these attributes
is invoked using two new IO_ flags: IO_NORMAL and IO_EXT.
These flags may be specified in the ioflags word of VOP_READ,
VOP_WRITE, and VOP_TRUNCATE. Specifying IO_NORMAL means that
you want to do I/O to the normal data part of the file and
IO_EXT means that you want to do I/O to the extended attributes
part of the file. IO_NORMAL and IO_EXT are mutually exclusive
for VOP_READ and VOP_WRITE, but may be specified individually
or together in the case of VOP_TRUNCATE. For example, when
removing a file, VOP_TRUNCATE is called with both IO_NORMAL
and IO_EXT set. For backward compatibility, if neither IO_NORMAL
nor IO_EXT is set, then IO_NORMAL is assumed.

Note that the BA_ and IO_ flags have been `merged' so that they
may both be used in the same flags word. This merger is possible
by assigning the IO_ flags to the low sixteen bits and the BA_
flags the high sixteen bits. This works because the high sixteen
bits of the IO_ word is reserved for read-ahead and help with
write clustering so will never be used for flags. This merge
lets us get away from code of the form:

if (ioflags & IO_SYNC)
flags |= BA_SYNC;

For the future, I have considered adding a new field to the
vattr structure, va_extsize. This addition could then be
exported through the stat structure to allow applications to
find out the size of the extended attribute storage and also
would provide a more standard interface for truncating them
(via VOP_SETATTR rather than VOP_TRUNCATE).

I am also contemplating adding a pathconf parameter (for
concreteness, lets call it _PC_MAX_EXTSIZE) which would
let an application determine the maximum size of the extended
atribute storage.

# 98542 21-Jun-2002 mckusick

This commit adds basic support for the UFS2 filesystem. The UFS2
filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit
block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability
to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density,
and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block
size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space
for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1
filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either
UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is
the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems,
you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when
UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for
reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c)
as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the
boot block is increased, this code can be defined.

Things to note: the definition of SBSIZE has changed to SBLOCKSIZE.
The header file <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> must be included before
<ufs/ffs/fs.h> so as to get the definitions of ufs2_daddr_t and
ufs_lbn_t.

Still TODO:
Verify that the first level bootstraps work for all the architectures.
Convert the utility ffsinfo to understand UFS2 and test growfs.
Add support for the extended attribute storage. Update soft updates
to ensure integrity of extended attribute storage. Switch the
current extended attribute interfaces to use the extended attribute
storage. Add the extent like functionality (framework is there,
but is currently never used).

In case of concurent creation of vnode for the one ino, we allow processes

When a new block is allocated to a directory, an fsync of a file
whose name is within that block must ensure not only that the block
containing the file name has been written, but also that the on-disk
directory inode references that block. When a new directory block
is created, we allocate a newdirblk structure which is linked to
the associated allocdirect (on its ad_newdirblk list). When the
allocdirect has been satisfied, the newdirblk structure is moved
to the inodedep id_bufwait list of its directory to await the inode
being written. When the inode is written, the directory entries
are fully committed and can be deleted from their pagedep->id_pendinghd
and inodedep->id_pendinghd lists.

When running with soft updates, track the number of blocks and files
that are committed to being freed and reflect these blocks in the
counts returned by statfs (and thus also by the `df' command). This
change allows programs such as those that do news expiration to
know when to stop if they are trying to create a certain percentage
of free space. Note that this change does not solve the much harder
problem of making this to-be-freed space available to applications
that want it (thus on a nearly full filesystem, you may still
encounter out-of-space conditions even though the free space will
show up eventually). Hopefully this harder problem will be the
subject of a future enhancement.

# 74234 14-Mar-2001 rwatson

o Implement "options FFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART", which depends on
"options FFS_EXTATTR". When extended attribute auto-starting
is enabled, FFS will scan the .attribute directory off of the
root of each file system, as it is mounted. If .attribute
exists, EA support will be started for the file system. If
there are files in the directory, FFS will attempt to start
them as attribute backing files for attributes baring the same
name. All attributes are started before access to the file
system is permitted, so this permits race-free enabling of
attributes. For attributes backing support for security
features, such as ACLs, MAC, Capabilities, this is vital, as
it prevents the file system attributes from getting out of
sync as a result of file system operations between mount-time
and the enabling of the extended attribute. The userland
extattrctl tool will still function exactly as previously.
Files must be placed directly in .attribute, which must be
directly off of the file system root: symbolic links are
not permitted. FFS_EXTATTR will continue to be able
to function without FFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART for sites that do not
want/require auto-starting. If you're using the UFS_ACL code
available from www.TrustedBSD.org, using FFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART
is recommended.

o This support is implemented by adding an invocation of
ufs_extattr_autostart() to ffs_mountfs(). In addition,
several new supporting calls are introduced in
ufs_extattr.c:

ufs_extattr_autostart(): start EAs on the specified mount
ufs_extattr_lookup(): given a directory and filename,
return the vnode for the file.
ufs_extattr_enable_with_open(): invoke ufs_extattr_enable()
after doing the equililent of vn_open()
on the passed file.
ufs_extattr_iterate_directory(): iterate over a directory,
invoking ufs_extattr_lookup() and
ufs_extattr_enable_with_open() on each
entry.

o This feature is not widely tested, and therefore may contain
bugs, caution is advised. Several changes are in the pipeline
for this feature, including breaking out of EA namespaces into
subdirectories of .attribute (this is waiting on the updated
EA API), as well as a per-filesystem flag indicating whether
or not EAs should be auto-started. This is required because
administrators may not want .attribute auto-started on all
file systems, especially if non-administrators have write access
to the root of a file system.

1) Be more tolerant of missing snapshot files by only trying to decrement
their reference count if they are registered as active.

2) Fix for snapshots of filesystems with block sizes larger than 8K
(from Ollivier Robert <roberto@eurocontrol.fr>).

3) Fix to avoid losing last block in snapshot file when calculating blocks
that need to be copied (from Don Coleman <coleman@coleman.org>).


# 69967 13-Dec-2000 mckusick

Preventing runaway kernel soft updates memory, take three.
Previously, the syncer process was the only process in the
system that could process the soft updates background work
list. If enough other processes were adding requests to that
list, it would eventually grow without bound. Because some of
the work list requests require vnodes to be locked, it was
not generally safe to let random processes process the work
list while they already held vnodes locked. By adding a flag
to the work list queue processing function to indicate whether
the calling process could safely lock vnodes, it becomes possible
to co-opt other processes into helping out with the work list.
Now when the worklist gets too large, other processes can safely
help out by picking off those work requests that can be handled
without locking a vnode, leaving only the small number of
requests requiring a vnode lock for the syncer process. With
this change, it appears possible to keep even the nastiest
workloads under control.

# 62976 11-Jul-2000 mckusick

Add snapshots to the fast filesystem. Most of the changes support
the gating of system calls that cause modifications to the underlying
filesystem. The gating can be enabled by any filesystem that needs
to consistently suspend operations by adding the vop_stdgetwritemount
to their set of vnops. Once gating is enabled, the function
vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a filesystem,
allows any filesystem modifying system calls already in progress
to complete, then sync's the filesystem to disk and returns. The
function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to
begin again. Gating is not added by default for all filesystems as
for SMP systems it adds two extra locks to such critical kernel
paths as the write system call. Thus, gating should only be added
as needed.

Details on the use and current status of snapshots in FFS can be
found in /sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot so for brevity and timelyness
is not included here. Unless and until you create a snapshot file,
these changes should have no effect on your system (famous last words).


# 55697 09-Jan-2000 mckusick

Several performance improvements for soft updates have been added:
1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it
was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to
disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode.
2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the
bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is
copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original
available for futher allocations.
3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and
i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink
need not be written.
4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing
daemon can choose to skip over them.

Centralized in-core inode update. Update the in-core inode directly
in ufs_setattr() so that there is no need to pass timestamps to
UFS_UPDATE() (everything else just needs the current time). Ignore
the passed-in timestamps in UFS_UPDATE() and always call ufs_itimes()
(was: itimes()) to do the update. The timestamps are still passed
so that all the callers don't need to be changed yet.

VFS mega cleanup commit (x/N)

1. Add new file "sys/kern/vfs_default.c" where default actions for
VOPs go. Implement proper defaults for ABORTOP, BWRITE, LEASE,
POLL, REVOKE and STRATEGY. Various stuff spread over the entire
tree belongs here.

2. Change VOP_BLKATOFF to a normal function in cd9660.

3. Kill VOP_BLKATOFF, VOP_TRUNCATE, VOP_VFREE, VOP_VALLOC. These
are private interface functions between UFS and the underlying
storage manager layer (FFS/LFS/MFS/EXT2FS). The functions now
live in struct ufsmount instead.

4. Remove a kludge of VOP_ functions in all filesystems, that did
nothing but obscure the simplicity and break the expandability.
If a filesystem doesn't implement VOP_FOO, it shouldn't have an
entry for it in its vnops table. The system will try to DTRT
if it is not implemented. There are still some cruft left, but
the bulk of it is done.

5. Fix another VCALL in vfs_cache.c (thanks Bruce!)

# 28787 26-Aug-1997 phk

Uncut&paste cache_lookup().

This unifies several times in theory indentical 50 lines of code.

The filesystems have a new method: vop_cachedlookup, which is the
meat of the lookup, and use vfs_cache_lookup() for their vop_lookup
method. vfs_cache_lookup() will check the namecache and pass on
to the vop_cachedlookup method in case of a miss.

It's still the task of the individual filesystems to populate the
namecache with cache_enter().

Filesystems that do not use the namecache will just provide the
vop_lookup method as usual.


# 28270 16-Aug-1997 wollman

Fix all areas of the system (or at least all those in LINT) to avoid storing
socket addresses in mbufs. (Socket buffers are the one exception.) A number
of kernel APIs needed to get fixed in order to make this happen. Also,
fix three protocol families which kept PCBs in mbufs to not malloc them
instead. Delete some old compatibility cruft while we're at it, and add
some new routines in the in_cksum family.

Also made a few of the miscfs routines static to be

This is the kernel Lite/2 commit. There are some requisite userland
changes, so don't expect to be able to run the kernel as-is (very well)
without the appropriate Lite/2 userland changes.

The system boots and can mount UFS filesystems.

Untested: ext2fs, msdosfs, NFS
Known problems: Incorrect Berkeley ID strings in some files.
Mount_std mounts will not work until the getfsent
library routine is changed.
