last few days. I tracked it down to the fact that nfs_reclaim()
is setting vp->v_data to NULL _before_ calling vnode_destroy_object().
After silence from the mailing list I checked further and discovered
that ufs_reclaim() is unique among FreeBSD filesystems for calling
vnode_destroy_object() early, long before tossing v_data or much
of anything else, for that matter. The rest, including NFS, appear
to be identical, as if they were just clones of one original routine.
The enclosed patch fixes all file systems in essentially the same
way, by moving the call to vnode_destroy_object() to early in the
routine (before the call to vfs_hash_remove(), if any). I have
only tested NFS, but I've now run for over eighteen hours with the
patch where I wouldn't get past four or five without it.

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)
instead of a vnode for it.
The vnode_pager does not and should not have any interest in what
the filesystem uses for backend.
(vfs_cluster doesn't use the backing store argument.)

- Define one flag GB_LOCK_NOWAIT that tells getblk() to pass the LK_NOWAIT
flag to the initial BUF_LOCK(). This will eventually be used in cases
were we want to use a buffer only if it is not currently in use.
- Convert all consumers of the getblk() api to use this extra parameter.

Remove extraneous uses of vop_null, instead defering to the default op.
Rename vnode type "vfs" to the more descriptive "syncer".
Fix formatting for various filesystems that use vop_print.
that is protected by the vnode lock.
- Move B_SCANNED into b_vflags and call it BV_SCANNED.
- Create a vop_stdfsync() modeled after spec's sync.
- Replace spec_fsync, msdos_fsync, and hpfs_fsync with the stdfsync and some
fs specific processing. This gives all of these filesystems proper
behavior wrt MNT_WAIT/NOWAIT and the use of the B_SCANNED flag.
- Annotate the locking in buf.h
to sort out disk-io from file-io in the vm/buffer/filesystem space.
The intent is to sort VOP_STRATEGY calls into those which operate
on "real" vnodes and those which operate on VCHR vnodes. For
the latter kind, the call will be changed to VOP_SPECSTRATEGY,
possibly conditionally for those places where dual-use happens.
Add a default VOP_SPECSTRATEGY method which will call the normal
VOP_STRATEGY. First time it is called it will print debugging
information. This will only happen if a normal vnode is passed
to VOP_SPECSTRATEGY by mistake.
Add a real VOP_SPECSTRATEGY in specfs, which does what VOP_STRATEGY
does on a VCHR vnode today.
Add a new VOP_STRATEGY method in specfs to catch instances where
the conversion to VOP_SPECSTRATEGY has not yet happened. Handle
the request just like we always did, but first time called print
debugging information.

that use it. Specifically, vop_stdlock uses the lock pointed to by
vp->v_vnlock. By default, getnewvnode sets up vp->v_vnlock to
reference vp->v_lock. Filesystems that wish to use the default
do not need to allocate a lock at the front of their node structure
(as some still did) or do a lockinit. They can simply start using
vn_lock/VOP_UNLOCK. Filesystems that wish to manage their own locks,
but still use the vop_stdlock functions (such as nullfs) can simply
replace vp->v_vnlock with a pointer to the lock that they wish to
have used for the vnode. Such filesystems are responsible for
setting the vp->v_vnlock back to the default in their vop_reclaim
routine (e.g., vp->v_vnlock = &vp->v_lock).
In theory, this set of changes cleans up the existing filesystem
lock interface and should have no function change to the existing
locking scheme.

- Lock access to the buf lists in the various sync routines. interlock
locking could be avoided almost entirely in leaf filesystems if the
fsync function had a generic helper.
v_tag is now const char * and should only be used for debugging.
Additionally:
1. All users of VT_NTS now check vfsconf->vf_type VFCF_NETWORK
2. The user of VT_PROCFS now checks for the new flag VV_PROCDEP, which
is propagated by pseudofs to all child vnodes if the fs sets PFS_PROCDEP.

- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
with VOP calls is needed.
- v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
management issues. These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
- All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
mp_fixme's.
- Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
clear.
- Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
locking.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

locking flags when acquiring a vnode. The immediate purpose is
to allow polling lock requests (LK_NOWAIT) needed by soft updates
to avoid deadlock when enlisting other processes to help with
the background cleanup. For the future it will allow the use of
shared locks for read access to vnodes. This change touches a
lot of files as it affects most filesystems within the system.
It has been well tested on FFS, loopback, and CD-ROM filesystems.

b_blkno, and b_lblkno fields which allows access to disks
larger than a Terabyte in size. This change also requires
that the VOP_BMAP vnode operation accept and return daddr64_t
blocks. This delta should not affect system operation in
any way. It merely sets up the necessary interfaces to allow
the development of disk drivers that work with these larger
disk block addresses. It also allows for the development of
UFS2 which will use 64-bit block addresses.
