links. The reference counting is needed to be able to determine if a
specific devfs path exists. For true device file paths we can traverse
the cdevp_list but a separate directory list is needed for user created
symbolic links.
Add a new directory entry flag DE_USER to mark entries which should
unreference their parent directory on deletion.
A new function to traverse cdevp_list and the directory list will be
introduced in a separate commit.

there is no way to report an error to make_dev(9) callers.

but now it is reported rather than panicing.

The patch does not change the cdevsw KBI. Management of the data is
provided by the functions
int devfs_set_cdevpriv(void *priv, cdevpriv_dtr_t dtr);
int devfs_get_cdevpriv(void **datap);
void devfs_clear_cdevpriv(void);
All of the functions are supposed to be called from the cdevsw method
contexts.
- devfs_set_cdevpriv assigns the priv as private data for the file
descriptor which is used to initiate currently performed driver
operation. dtr is the function that will be called when either the
last refernce to the file goes away, the device is destroyed or
devfs_clear_cdevpriv is called.
- devfs_get_cdevpriv is the obvious accessor.
- devfs_clear_cdevpriv allows to clear the private data for the still
open file.
Implementation keeps the driver-supplied pointers in the struct
cdev_privdata, that is referenced both from the struct file and struct
cdev, and cannot outlive any of the referee.
Man pages will be provided after the KPI stabilizes.

destroy_dev() from d_close() cdev method would self-deadlock.
devfs_close() bump device thread reference counter, and destroy_dev()
sleeps, waiting for si_threadcount to reach zero for cdev without
d_purge method.
destroy_dev_sched() could be used instead from d_close(), to
schedule execution of destroy_dev() in another context. The
destroy_dev_sched_drain() function can be used to drain the scheduled
calls to destroy_dev_sched(). Similarly, drain_dev_clone_events() drains
the events clone to make sure no lingering devices are left after
dev_clone event handler deregistered.
make_dev_credf(MAKEDEV_REF) function should be used from dev_clone
event handlers instead of make_dev()/make_dev_cred() to ensure that created
device has reference counter bumped before cdev mutex is dropped inside
make_dev().

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.
