filesystem supports additional operations using shared vnode locks.
Currently this is used to enable shared locks for open() and close() of
read-only file descriptors.
- When an ISOPEN namei() request is performed with LOCKSHARED, use a
shared vnode lock for the leaf vnode only if the mount point has the
extended shared flag set.
- Set LOCKSHARED in vn_open_cred() for requests that specify O_RDONLY but
not O_CREAT.
- Use a shared vnode lock around VOP_CLOSE() if the file was opened with
O_RDONLY and the mountpoint has the extended shared flag set.
- Adjust md(4) to upgrade the vnode lock on the vnode it gets back from
vn_open() since it now may only have a shared vnode lock.
- Don't enable shared vnode locks on FIFO vnodes in ZFS and UFS since
FIFO's require exclusive vnode locks for their open() and close()
routines. (My recent MPSAFE patches for UDF and cd9660 already included
this change.)
- Enable extended shared operations on UFS, cd9660, and UDF.

Even though we got rid of device major numbers some time ago, device
drivers still need to provide unique device minor numbers to make_dev().
These numbers are only used inside the kernel. They are not related to
device major and minor numbers which are visible in devfs. These are
actually based on the inode number of the device.
It would eventually be nice to remove minor numbers entirely, but we
don't want to be too agressive here.
Because the 8-15 bits of the device number field (si_drv0) are still
reserved for the major number, there is no 1:1 mapping of the device
minor and unit numbers. Because this is now unused, remove the
restrictions on these numbers.
The MAXMAJOR definition was actually used for two purposes. It was used
to convert both the userspace and kernelspace device numbers to their
major/minor pair, which is why it is now named UMINORMASK.
minor2unit() and unit2minor() have now become useless. Both minor() and
dev2unit() now serve the same purpose. We should eventually remove some
of them, at least turning them into macro's. If devfs would become
completely minor number unaware, we could consider using si_drv0 directly,
just like si_drv1 and si_drv2.

VOP_LOCK1() VFS method. This modify makes the code cleaner and in
particular remove an annoying dependence helping next lockmgr() cleanup.

As a side note, would be valuable to say that next commits will address

I've tried to move md(4) to use geom_disk class, like real disks do, but
this requires major rework of some of the existing features such as
configuration dumping for example. Therefore just putting devstat support
directly into md(4) seems to be optimal solution.
Now you can see md(4) stats in `systat -vm' again.

Thos makes way for us to add REAL kthread_create() and friends
that actually make theads. it turns out that most of these
calls actually end up being moved back to the thread version

I'd LOVE to do this rename in 7.0 so that we can eventually MFC the

by md(4). Before this change, it was possible to by-pass these flags
by creating memory disks which used a file as a backing store and
writing to the device.
This was discussed by the security team, and although this is problematic,
it was decided that it was not critical as we never guarantee that root will
be restricted.
This change implements the following behavior changes:
-If the user specifies the readonly flag, unset write operations before
opening the file. If the FWRITE mask is unset, the device will be
created with the MD_READONLY mask set. (readonly)
-Add a check in g_md_access which checks to see if the MD_READONLY mask
is set, if so return EROFS
-Do not gracefully downgrade access modes without telling the user. Instead
make the user specify their intentions for the device (assuming the file is
read only). This seems like the more correct way to handle things.
This is a RELENG_6 candidate.
