The function namei in union_mount calls union_root. The upper vnode
has been already locked and vn_lock in union_root causes above panic.
Add printf's included in `#ifdef DIAGNOSTIC' for EDEADLK cases.
same directory pair.
If we do:
mount -t union a b
mount -t union a b
then, (1) namei tries to lock fs which has been already locked by
first union mount and (2) union_root() tries to lock locked fs. To
avoid first deadlock condition, unlock vnode if lowerrootvp is union
node, and to avoid second case, union_mount returns EDEADLK when multi
union mount is detected.
changes, so don't expect to be able to run the kernel as-is (very well)
without the appropriate Lite/2 userland changes.
The system boots and can mount UFS filesystems.
Untested: ext2fs, msdosfs, NFS
Known problems: Incorrect Berkeley ID strings in some files.
Mount_std mounts will not work until the getfsent
library routine is changed.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
VFCF_NETWORK (this FS goes over the net)
VFCF_READONLY (read-write mounts do not make any sense)
VFCF_SYNTHETIC (data in this FS is not real)
VFCF_LOOPBACK (this FS aliases something else)
cd9660 is readonly; nullfs, umapfs, and union are loopback; NFS is netowkr;
procfs, kernfs, and fdesc are synthetic.
Find enclosed a short bugfix to get the union filesystem up and running
in FreeBSD-current. We don't think we've got all the problems yet but
these fixes sort out the major ones (which mostly concert bad locking
of vnodes), no doubt we'll post others as necessary. Known problems
include the inability of the umount command (not the system call) to unmount
unions in certain circumstances (this is due the way "realpath" works),
and the failure of direntries to always get all available files in
unioned subdirectories. We are, as they say, working on it.

- Make a number of filesystems work again when they are statically compiled
(blush)
- FIFOs are no longer optional; ``options FIFO'' removed from distributed
config files.
