Give DEVFS a proper inode called struct cdev_priv. It is important
to keep in mind that this "inode" is shared between all DEVFS
mountpoints, therefore it is protected by the global device mutex.
Link the cdev_priv's into a list, protected by the global device
mutex. Keep track of each cdev_priv's state with a flag bit and
of references from mountpoints with a dedicated usecount.
Reap the benefits of much improved kernel memory allocator and the
generally better defined device driver APIs to get rid of the tables
of pointers + serial numbers, their overflow tables, the atomics
to muck about in them and all the trouble that resulted in.
This makes RAM the only limit on how many devices we can have.
The cdev_priv is actually a super struct containing the normal cdev
as the "public" part, and therefore allocation and freeing has moved
to devfs_devs.c from kern_conf.c.
The overall responsibility is (to be) split such that kern/kern_conf.c
is the stuff that deals with drivers and struct cdev and fs/devfs
handles filesystems and struct cdev_priv and their private liason
exposed only in devfs_int.h.
Move the inode number from cdev to cdev_priv and allocate inode
numbers properly with unr. Local dirents in the mountpoints
(directories, symlinks) allocate inodes from the same pool to
guarantee against overlaps.
Various other fields are going to migrate from cdev to cdev_priv
in the future in order to hide them. A few fields may migrate
from devfs_dirent to cdev_priv as well.
Protect the DEVFS mountpoint with an sx lock instead of lockmgr,
this lock also protects the directory tree of the mountpoint.
Give each mountpoint a unique integer index, allocated with unr.
Use it into an array of devfs_dirent pointers in each cdev_priv.
Initially the array points to a single element also inside cdev_priv,
but as more devfs instances are mounted, the array is extended with
malloc(9) as necessary when the filesystem populates its directory
tree.
Retire the cdev alias lists, the cdev_priv now know about all the
relevant devfs_dirents (and their vnodes) and devfs_revoke() will
pick them up from there. We still spelunk into other mountpoints
and fondle their data without 100% good locking. It may make better
sense to vector the revoke event into the tty code and there do a
destroy_dev/make_dev on the tty's devices, but that's for further
study.
Lots of shuffling of stuff and churn of bits for no good reason[2].
XXX: There is still nothing preventing the dev_clone EVENTHANDLER
from being invoked at the same time in two devfs mountpoints. It
is not obvious what the best course of action is here.
XXX: comment out an if statement that lost its body, until I can
find out what should go there so it doesn't do damage in the meantime.
XXX: Leave in a few extra malloc types and KASSERTS to help track
down any remaining issues.

process that caused the clone event to take place for the device driver
creating the device. This allows cloned device drivers to adapt the
device node based on security aspects of the process, such as the uid,
gid, and MAC label.
- Add a cred reference to struct cdev, so that when a device node is
instantiated as a vnode, the cloning credential can be exposed to
MAC.
- Add make_dev_cred(), a version of make_dev() that additionally
accepts the credential to stick in the struct cdev. Implement it and
make_dev() in terms of a back-end make_dev_credv().
- Add a new event handler, dev_clone_cred, which can be registered to
receive the credential instead of dev_clone, if desired.
- Modify the MAC entry point mac_create_devfs_device() to accept an
optional credential pointer (may be NULL), so that MAC policies can
inspect and act on the label or other elements of the credential
when initializing the skeleton device protections.
- Modify tty_pty.c to register clone_dev_cred and invoke make_dev_cred(),
so that the pty clone credential is exposed to the MAC Framework.
While currently primarily focussed on MAC policies, this change is also
a prerequisite for changes to allow ptys to be instantiated with the UID
of the process looking up the pty. This requires further changes to the
pty driver -- in particular, to immediately recycle pty nodes on last
close so that the credential-related state can be recreated on next
lookup.

Don't remove the now unused element from cdev yet, wait until
we have a better reason to bump the version.
There is now no longer any upper limit on how many device drivers
a FreeBSD kernel can have.
List devfs_dirents rather than vnodes off their shared struct cdev, this
saves a pointer field in the vnode at the expense of a field in the
devfs_dirent. There are often 100 times more vnodes so this is bargain.
In addition it makes it harder for people to try to do stypid things like
"finding the vnode from cdev".
Since DEVFS handles all VCHR nodes now, we can do the vnode related
cleanup in devfs_reclaim() instead of in dev_rel() and vgonel().
Similarly, we can do the struct cdev related cleanup in dev_rel()
instead of devfs_reclaim().
rename idestroy_dev() to destroy_devl() for consistency.
Add LIST_ENTRY de_alias to struct devfs_dirent.
Remove v_specnext from struct vnode.
Change si_hlist to si_alist in struct cdev.
String new devfs vnodes' devfs_dirent on si_alist when
we create them and take them off in devfs_reclaim().
Fix devfs_revoke() accordingly. Also don't clear fields
devfs_reclaim() will clear when called from vgone();
Let devfs_reclaim() call dev_rel() instead of vgonel().
Move the usecount tracking from dev_rel() to devfs_reclaim(),
and let dev_rel() take a struct cdev argument instead of vnode.
Destroy SI_CHEAPCLONE devices in dev_rel() (instead of
devfs_reclaim()) when they are no longer used. (This
should maybe happen in devfs_close() instead.)
Add minor2unit() in addition to dev2unit() and unit2minor().
If it wasn't such a hazzle we should redefine minor numbers in
the kernel without the gap for the major number, but it's not worth
the bother (yet).
dev_refthread() will return the cdevsw pointer or NULL. If the
return value is non-NULL a threadcount is held which much be released
with dev_relthread(). If the returned cdevsw is NULL no threadcount
is held on the device.
of the number of threads which are inside whatever is behind the
cdevsw for this particular cdev.
Make the device mutex visible through dev_lock() and dev_unlock().
We may want finer granularity later.
Replace spechash_mtx use with dev_lock()/dev_unlock().
and the previously malloc'ed snapshot lock.
Malloc struct snapdata instead of just the lock.
Replace snapshot fields in cdev with pointer to snapdata (saves 16 bytes).
While here, give the private readblock() function a vnode argument
in preparation for moving UFS to access GEOM directly.
a more complete subsystem, and removes the knowlege of how things are
implemented from the drivers. Include locking around filter ops, so a
module like aio will know when not to be unloaded if there are outstanding
knotes using it's filter ops.
Currently, it uses the MTX_DUPOK even though it is not always safe to
aquire duplicate locks. Witness currently doesn't support the ability
to discover if a dup lock is ok (in some cases).

The big lines are:
NODEV -> NULL
NOUDEV -> NODEV
udev_t -> dev_t
udev2dev() -> findcdev()
Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.
This is what we came here for: Hang dev_t's from their cdevsw,
refcount cdevsw and dev_t and generally keep track of things a lot
better than we used to:
Hold a cdevsw reference around all entrances into the device driver,
this will be necessary to safely determine when we can unload driver
code.
Hold a dev_t reference while the device is open.
KASSERT that we do not enter the driver on a non-referenced dev_t.
Remove old D_NAG code, anonymous dev_t's are not a problem now.
When destroy_dev() is called on a referenced dev_t, move it to
dead_cdevsw's list. When the refcount drops, free it.
Check that cdevsw->d_version is correct. If not, set all methods
to the dead_*() methods to prevent entrance into driver. Print
warning on console to this effect. The device driver may still
explode if it is also incompatible with newbus, but in that case
we probably didn't get this far in the first place.
