A couple of notes for this:
* WITNESS support, when enabled, is only used for shared locks in order
to avoid problems with the "disowned" locks
* KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD only exists in the lockmgr namespace in order
to assert for a generic thread (not curthread) owning or not the
lock. Really, this kind of check is bogus but it seems very
widespread in the consumers code. So, for the moment, we cater this
untrusted behaviour, until the consumers are not fixed and the
options could be removed (hopefully during 8.0-CURRENT lifecycle)
* Implementing KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD (not surported natively by
WITNESS) made necessary the introduction of LA_MASKASSERT which
specifies the range for default lock assertion flags
* About other aspects, lockmgr_assert() follows exactly what other
locking primitives offer about this operation.
- Build real assertions for buffer cache locks on the top of
lockmgr_assert(). They can be used with the BUF_ASSERT_*(bp)
paradigm.
- Add checks at lock destruction time and use a cookie for verifying
lock integrity at any operation.
- Redefine BUF_LOCKFREE() in order to not use a direct assert but
let it rely on the aforementioned destruction time check.
KPI results evidently broken, so __FreeBSD_version bumping and
manpage update result necessary and will be committed soon.
Side note: lockmgr_assert() will be used soon in order to implement
real assertions in the vnode namespace replacing the legacy and still
bogus "VOP_ISLOCKED()" way.

server-side RPC retranmission cache for non-idempotent operations: these
hacks substituted 0 (success) for the expected EEXIST in the event that
a target name already existed for LINK, SYMLINK, and MKDIR operations,
under the assumption that EEXIST represented a second application of the
original RPC rather than a true failure.
Background: certain NFS operations (in this case, LINK, SYMLINK, and
MKDIR) are not idempotent, as they leave behind persisting state on the
server that prevents them from being replayed without an error;if an UDP
RPC reply is lost leading to a retransmission by theclient, the second
reply will return EEXIST rather than success, asthe new object has
already been created. The NFS client previouslysilently mapped the
EEXIST return into success to paper over thisproblem.
However, in all modern NFS server implementations, a reply cache is kept
in order to retransmit the original reply to a retransmitted request,
rather than performing the operation a second time, allowing this hack
to be avoided. This allows link()-based filelocking over NFS to operate
correctly, as an application requestingthe creation of a new link for a
file to tell if it succeededatomically or not.
Other NFS clients, including Solaris and Linux, generally follow this
behavior for the same reasons. Most clients also now default to TCP,
which also helps avoid the issue of retransmitted but non-idempotent
requests in most cases.

Note that the NFS code will still happily let you mount a filesystem RW

- Network filesystems are written with a special idiom that checks the
cache first, and may even unlock dvp before discovering that a network
round-trip is required to resolve the name. I believe dvp is prevented
from being recycled even in the forced unmount case by the shared lock

after it relocks dvp or it will access NULL v_data fields.

I'm not sure why a credential was added to these in the first place, it is

The credentials for syncing a file (ability to write to the

Credentials for syncing one or more filesystems ("none")
should be checked at the system call level as well.
If the filesystem implementation needs a particular credential
to carry out the syncing it would logically have to the

our cached 'next vnode' being removed from this mountpoint. If we
find that it was recycled, we restart our traversal from the start

Code to do that is in all local disk filesystems (and a few other
places) and looks roughly like this:
MNT_ILOCK(mp);
loop:
for (vp = TAILQ_FIRST(&mp...);
(vp = nvp) != NULL;
nvp = TAILQ_NEXT(vp,...)) {
if (vp->v_mount != mp)
goto loop;
MNT_IUNLOCK(mp);
...
MNT_ILOCK(mp);
}
MNT_IUNLOCK(mp);
The code which takes vnodes off a mountpoint looks like this:
MNT_ILOCK(vp->v_mount);
...
TAILQ_REMOVE(&vp->v_mount->mnt_nvnodelist, vp, v_nmntvnodes);
...
MNT_IUNLOCK(vp->v_mount);
...
vp->v_mount = something;
(Take a moment and try to spot the locking error before you read on.)
On a SMP system, one CPU could have removed nvp from our mountlist
but not yet gotten to assign a new value to vp->v_mount while another
CPU simultaneously get to the top of the traversal loop where it
finds that (vp->v_mount != mp) is not true despite the fact that
the vnode has indeed been removed from our mountpoint.
Fix:
Introduce the macro MNT_VNODE_FOREACH() to traverse the list of
vnodes on a mountpoint while taking into account that vnodes may
be removed from the list as we go. This saves approx 65 lines of
duplicated code.
Split the insmntque() which potentially moves a vnode from one mount
point to another into delmntque() and insmntque() which does just
what the names say.
Fix delmntque() to set vp->v_mount to NULL while holding the
mountpoint lock.

- struct plimit includes a mutex to protect a reference count. The plimit
structure is treated similarly to struct ucred in that is is always copy
on write, so having a reference to a structure is sufficient to read from

- The proc lock protects the p_limit pointer and must be held while reading
limits from a process to keep the limit structure from changing out from
under you while reading from it.
- Various global limits that are ints are not protected by a lock since
int writes are atomic on all the archs we support and thus a lock
wouldn't buy us anything.
- All accesses to individual resource limits from a process are abstracted
behind a simple lim_rlimit(), lim_max(), and lim_cur() API that return

resource from a process.
