Change so its KPI by removing the interlock argument and defining 2 new

old version (which was unlinked from the lockmgr alredy) and
MBF_MNTLSTLOCK which provides the ability to drop the mountlist_mtx

need to fix properly instead than trust on such hackish solution.
- Fix a bug where returning (with an error) from dounmount() was still
leaving the MNTK_MWAIT flag on even if it the waiters were actually

during a DELETE lookup operation, lookup would cache the length of the
directory entry to be deleted in 'i_reclen'. Later, the actual VOP to
remove the directory entry (ufs_remove, ufs_rename, etc.) would call
ufs_dirremove() which extended the length of the previous directory
entry to "remove" the deleted entry.
However, we always read the entire block containing the directory
entry when doing the removal, so we always have the directory entry to
be deleted in-memory when doing the update to the directory block.
Also, we already have to figure out where the directory entry that is
being removed is in the block so that we can pass the component name
to the dirhash code to update the dirhash. So, instead of passing
'i_reclen' from ufs_lookup() to the ufs_dirremove() routine, just read
the 'd_reclen' field directly out of the entry being removed when
updating the length of the previous entry in the block.
This avoids a cosmetic issue of writing to 'i_reclen' while holding a
shared vnode lock. It also slightly reduces the amount of side-band
data passed from ufs_lookup() to operations updating a directory via
the directory's i-node.

- Replace the lockmgr lock in the dirhash structure with an sx lock.
- Use a reference count managed with ufsdirhash_hold()/drop() to determine
when to free the dirhash structures. The directory i-node holds a
reference while the dirhash is attached to an i-node. Code that wishes
to lock the dirhash while holding a shared vnode lock must first
acquire a private reference to the dirhash while holding the vnode

dirhash is still used by the directory i-node.

- Relax a VOP assertion for a DELETE lookup. rename() uses WANTPARENT
instead of LOCKPARENT when looking up the source pathname. ufs_rename()
uses a relookup() to lock the parent directory when it decides to finally
remove the source path. Thus, it is ok for a DELETE with WANTPARENT set
instead of LOCKPARENT to use a shared vnode lock rather than an exclusive
vnode lock.

state transitioning flags and of msleep(9) callings.
Use, instead, an algorithm very similar to what sx(9) and rwlock(9)
alredy do and direct accesses to the sleepqueue(9) primitive.
In order to avoid writer starvation a mechanism very similar to what
rwlock(9) uses now is implemented, with the correspective per-thread
shared lockmgrs counter.
This patch also adds 2 new functions to lockmgr KPI: lockmgr_rw() and
lockmgr_args_rw(). These two are like the 2 "normal" versions, but they
both accept a rwlock as interlock. In order to realize this, the general
lockmgr manager function "__lockmgr_args()" has been implemented through
the generic lock layer. It supports all the blocking primitives, but
currently only these 2 mappers live.
The patch drops the support for WITNESS atm, but it will be probabilly
added soon. Also, there is a little race in the draining code which is
also present in the current CVS stock implementation: if some sharers,
once they wakeup, are in the runqueue they can contend the lock with
the exclusive drainer. This is hard to be fixed but the now committed
code mitigate this issue a lot better than the (past) CVS version.
In addition assertive KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD have been made mute
assertions because they are dangerous and they will be nomore supported
soon.
In order to avoid namespace pollution, stack.h is splitted into two
parts: one which includes only the "struct stack" definition (_stack.h)
and one defining the KPI. In this way, newly added _lockmgr.h can
just include _stack.h.
Kernel ABI results heavilly changed by this commit (the now committed
version of "struct lock" is a lot smaller than the previous one) and
KPI results broken by lockmgr_rw() / lockmgr_args_rw() introduction,
so manpages and __FreeBSD_version will be updated accordingly.
