- 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.

the number of references on the filesystem root vnode to be both
expected and released. Many filesystems hold an extra reference on
the filesystem root vnode, which must be accounted for when
determining if the filesystem is busy and then released if it isn't
busy. The old `skipvp' approach required individual filesystem
xxx_unmount functions to re-implement much of vflush()'s logic to
deal with the root vnode.
All 9 filesystems that hold an extra reference on the root vnode
got the logic wrong in the case of forced unmounts, so `umount -f'
would always fail if there were any extra root vnode references.
Fix this issue centrally in vflush(), now that we can.
This commit also fixes a vnode reference leak in devfs, which could
result in idle devfs filesystems that refuse to unmount.

introduce a new argument, "namespace", rather than relying on a first-
character namespace indicator. This is in line with more recent
thinking on EA interfaces on various mailing lists, including the
posix1e, Linux acl-devel, and trustedbsd-discuss forums. Two namespaces
are defined by default, EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM and
EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_USER, where the primary distinction lies in the
access control model: user EAs are accessible based on the normal
MAC and DAC file/directory protections, and system attributes are
limited to kernel-originated or appropriately privileged userland
requests.
o These API changes occur at several levels: the namespace argument is
introduced in the extattr_{get,set}_file() system call interfaces,
at the vnode operation level in the vop_{get,set}extattr() interfaces,
and in the UFS extended attribute implementation. Changes are also
introduced in the VFS extattrctl() interface (system call, VFS,
and UFS implementation), where the arguments are modified to include
a namespace field, as well as modified to advoid direct access to
userspace variables from below the VFS layer (in the style of recent
changes to mount by adrian@FreeBSD.org). This required some cleanup
and bug fixing regarding VFS locks and the VFS interface, as a vnode
pointer may now be optionally submitted to the VFS_EXTATTRCTL()
call. Updated documentation for the VFS interface will be committed
shortly.
o In the near future, the auto-starting feature will be updated to
search two sub-directories to the ".attribute" directory in appropriate
file systems: "user" and "system" to locate attributes intended for
those namespaces, as the single filename is no longer sufficient
to indicate what namespace the attribute is intended for. Until this
is committed, all attributes auto-started by UFS will be placed in
the EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM namespace.
o The default POSIX.1e attribute names for ACLs and Capabilities have
been updated to no longer include the '$' in their filename. As such,
if you're using these features, you'll need to rename the attribute
backing files to the same names without '$' symbols in front.
o Note that these changes will require changes in userland, which will
be committed shortly. These include modifications to the extended
attribute utilities, as well as to libutil for new namespace
string conversion routines. Once the matching userland changes are
committed, a buildworld is recommended to update all the necessary
include files and verify that the kernel and userland environments
are in sync. Note: If you do not use extended attributes (most people
won't), upgrading is not imperative although since the system call
API has changed, the new userland extended attribute code will no longer
compile with old include files.
o Couple of minor cleanups while I'm there: make more code compilation
conditional on FFS_EXTATTR, which should recover a bit of space on
kernels running without EA's, as well as update copyright dates.

An initial tidyup of the mount() syscall and VFS mount code.
This code replaces the earlier work done by jlemon in an attempt to
make linux_mount() work.
* the guts of the mount work has been moved into vfs_mount().
* move `type', `path' and `flags' from being userland variables into being
kernel variables in vfs_mount(). `data' remains a pointer into
userspace.
* Attempt to verify the `type' and `path' strings passed to vfs_mount()
aren't too long.
* rework mount() and linux_mount() to take the userland parameters
(besides data, as mentioned) and pass kernel variables to vfs_mount().
(linux_mount() already did this, I've just tidied it up a little more.)
* remove the copyin*() stuff for `path'. `data' still requires copyin*()
since its a pointer into userland.
* set `mount->mnt_statf_mntonname' in vfs_mount() rather than in each
filesystem. This variable is generally initialised with `path', and
each filesystem can override it if they want to.
* NOTE: f_mntonname is intiailised with "/" in the case of a root mount.
