Module Name:    src

Modified Files:
        src/sys/ufs/lfs: lfs.h lfs_extern.h lfs_segment.c lfs_subr.c
            lfs_vfsops.c lfs_vnops.c

Log Message:
Improvements to LFS's paging mechanism, to wit:

* Acknowledge that sometimes there are more dirty pages to be written to
  disk than clean segments.  When we reach the danger line,
  lfs_gop_write() now returns EAGAIN.  The caller of VOP_PUTPAGES(), if
  it holds the segment lock, drops it and waits for the cleaner to make
  room before continuing.

* Note and avoid a three-way deadlock in lfs_putpages (a writer holding
  a page busy blocks on the cleaner while the cleaner blocks on the
  segment lock while lfs_putpages blocks on the page).
