    UFS: make mkdir() and link() reliable when using SU and reaching nlink limit · 8db679af
    Konstantin Belousov authored
    i_nlink overflow might be transient, i_effnlink indicates the final
    value of the link count after all dependencies would be resolved. So if
    i_nlink reached the maximum but i_efflink did not, we should be able to
    make the link by syncing.
    
    We must sync the whole filesystem to resolve dependencies,
    which requires unlocking vnodes locked for VOPs.  Use existing
    ERELOOKUP/VOP_UNLOCK_PAIR() mechanism to restart the VOP if sync with
    unlock was done.
