The VOP is intended to be used in situations where VFS has two
referenced locked vnodes, typically a directory vnode dvp and a vnode
vp that is linked from the directory, and at least dvp is vput(9)ed.
The child vnode can be also vput-ed, but optionally left referenced and
locked.
There, at least UFS may need to do some actions with dvp which cannot be
done while vp is also locked, so its lock might be dropped temporary.
For instance, in some cases UFS needs to sync dvp to avoid filesystem
state that is currently not handled by either kernel nor fsck. Having
such VOP provides the neccessary context for filesystem which can do
correct locking and handle potential reclamation of vp after relock.
Trivial implementation does vput(dvp) and optionally vput(vp).

mkdir -p /foo/bar/baz will mkdir each path component and ignore EEXIST.
The NOCACHE lookup will make the namecache unnecessarily evict the existing entry,
and then fallback to the fs lookup routine eventually leading namei to return an
error as the directory is already there.
For invocations like mkdir -p /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC/modules this triggers
fallbacks to the slowpath for concurrently executing lookups.

There are several negative side-effects of not calling into VOP layer
at all for page cache reads. The biggest is the missed activation of
EVFILT_READ knotes.
Also, it allows filesystem to make more fine grained decision to

This patch adds support to the kernel for a Linux compatible
copy_file_range(2) syscall and the related VOP_COPY_FILE_RANGE(9).
This syscall/VOP can be used by the NFSv4.2 client to implement the
Copy operation against an NFSv4.2 server to do file copies locally on
the server.
The vn_generic_copy_file_range() function in this patch can be used
by the NFSv4.2 server to implement the Copy operation.
Fuse may also me able to use the VOP_COPY_FILE_RANGE() method.
vn_generic_copy_file_range() attempts to maintain holes in the output
file in the range to be copied, but may fail to do so if the input and
output files are on different file systems with different _PC_MIN_HOLE_SIZE
values.
Separate commits will be done for the generated syscall files and userland
changes. A commit for a compat32 syscall will be done later.

kern_execve() locks text vnode exclusive to be able to set and clear
VV_TEXT flag. VV_TEXT is mutually exclusive with the v_writecount > 0
condition.
The change removes VV_TEXT, replacing it with the condition
v_writecount <= -1, and puts v_writecount under the vnode interlock.
Each text reference decrements v_writecount. To clear the text
reference when the segment is unmapped, it is recorded in the
vm_map_entry backed by the text file as MAP_ENTRY_VN_TEXT flag, and
v_writecount is incremented on the map entry removal
The operations like VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT() and VOP_SET_TEXT() check that
v_writecount does not contradict the desired change. vn_writecheck()
is now racy and its use was eliminated everywhere except access.
Atomic check for writeability and increment of v_writecount is
performed by the VOP. vn_truncate() now increments v_writecount
around VOP_SETATTR() call, lack of which is arguably a bug on its own.
nullfs bypasses v_writecount to the lower vnode always, so nullfs
vnode has its own v_writecount correct, and lower vnode gets all
references, since object->handle is always lower vnode.
On the text vnode' vm object dealloc, the v_writecount value is reset
to zero, and deadfs vop_unset_text short-circuit the operation.
Reclamation of lowervp always reclaims all nullfs vnodes referencing
lowervp first, so no stray references are left.

Where doing so is easy and non-distruptive carry the const through

o With new KPI consumers can request contiguous ranges of pages, and
unlike before, all pages will be kept busied on return, like it was
done before with the 'reqpage' only. Now the reqpage goes away. With
new interface it is easier to implement code protected from race
conditions.
Such arrayed requests for now should be preceeded by a call to
vm_pager_haspage() to make sure that request is possible. This
could be improved later, making vm_pager_haspage() obsolete.
Strenghtening the promises on the business of the array of pages
allows us to remove such hacks as swp_pager_free_nrpage() and
vm_pager_free_nonreq().
o New KPI accepts two integer pointers that may optionally point at
values for read ahead and read behind, that a pager may do, if it
can. These pages are completely owned by pager, and not controlled
by the caller.
This shifts the UFS-specific readahead logic from vm_fault.c, which
should be file system agnostic, into vnode_pager.c. It also removes
one VOP_BMAP() request per hard fault.

was still possible to open for write from the lower filesystem. There
is a symmetric situation where the binary could already has file
descriptors opened for write, but it can be executed from the nullfs
overlay.
Handle the issue by passing one v_writecount reference to the lower
vnode if nullfs vnode has non-zero v_writecount. Note that only one
write reference can be donated, since nullfs only keeps one use
reference on the lower vnode. Always use the lower vnode v_writecount
for the checks.
Introduce the VOP_GET_WRITECOUNT to read v_writecount, which is
currently always bypassed to the lower vnode, and VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT
to manipulate the v_writecount value, which manages a single bypass
reference to the lower vnode. Caling the VOPs instead of directly
accessing v_writecount provide the fix described in the previous
paragraph.

If you have a binary on a filesystem which is also mounted over by
nullfs, you could execute the binary from the lower filesystem, or
from the nullfs mount. When executed from lower filesystem, the lower
vnode gets VV_TEXT flag set, and the file cannot be modified while the
binary is active. But, if executed as the nullfs alias, only the
nullfs vnode gets VV_TEXT set, and you still can open the lower vnode
for write.
Add a set of VOPs for the VV_TEXT query, set and clear operations,
which are correctly bypassed to lower vnode.

The operations are necessary to implement proper unix socket handling
on layered file systems like nullfs(5).
This change fixes the long standing issue with nullfs(5) being in that
unix sockets did not work between lower and upper layers: if we bound
to a socket on the lower layer we could connect only to the lower
path; if we bound to the upper layer we could connect only to the
upper path. The new behavior is one can connect to both the lower and
the upper paths regardless what layer path one binds to.

madvise(2) except that it operates on a file descriptor instead of a
memory region. It is currently only supported on regular files.
Just as with madvise(2), the advice given to posix_fadvise(2) can be
divided into two types. The first type provide hints about data access
patterns and are used in the file read and write routines to modify the
I/O flags passed down to VOP_READ() and VOP_WRITE(). These modes are
thus filesystem independent. Note that to ease implementation (and
since this API is only advisory anyway), only a single non-normal
range is allowed per file descriptor.
The second type of hints are used to hint to the OS that data will or
will not be used. These hints are implemented via a new VOP_ADVISE().
A default implementation is provided which does nothing for the WILLNEED
request and attempts to move any clean pages to the cache page queue for
the DONTNEED request. This latter case required two other changes.
First, a new V_CLEANONLY flag was added to vinvalbuf(). This requests
vinvalbuf() to only flush clean buffers for the vnode from the buffer
cache and to not remove any backing pages from the vnode. This is
used to ensure clean pages are not wired into the buffer cache before
attempting to move them to the cache page queue. The second change adds
a new vm_object_page_cache() method. This method is somewhat similar to
vm_object_page_remove() except that instead of freeing each page in the
specified range, it attempts to move clean pages to the cache queue if
possible.
To preserve the ABI of struct file, the f_cdevpriv pointer is now reused
in a union to point to the currently active advice region if one is
present for regular files.
