one to become available for one second and then return ENFILE. We
can run out of vnodes, and there must be a hard limit because without
one we can quickly run out of KVA on x86. Presently the system can
deadlock if there are maxvnodes directories in the namecache. The
original 4.x BSD behavior was to return ENFILE if we reached the max,
but 4.x BSD did not have the vnlru proc so it was less profitable to
wait.
on filesystems which safely support them. It appears that many
network filesystems specifically are not shared lock safe.

vnodes whose names it caches, so we no longer need a `generation
number' to tell us if a referenced vnode is invalid. Replace the use
of the parent's v_id in the hash function with the address of the
parent vnode.

vhold()s us.
- Avoid an extra mutex acquire and release in the common case of vgonel()
by checking for OWEINACT at the start of the function.
- Fix the case where we set OWEINACT in vput(). LK_EXCLUPGRADE drops our
shared lock if it fails.

now always allocates a new vnode.
- Define a new function, vnlru_free, which frees vnodes from the free list.
It takes as a parameter the number of vnodes to free, which is
wantfreevnodes - freevnodes when called from vnlru_proc or 1 when
called from getnewvnode(). For now, getnewvnode() still tries to reclaim
a free vnode before creating a new one when we are near the limit.
- Define a function, vdestroy, which handles the actual release of memory
and teardown of locks, etc. This could become a uma_dtor() routine.
- Get rid of minvnodes. Now wantfreevnodes is 1/4th the max vnodes. This
keeps more unreferenced vnodes around so that files which have only
been stat'd are less likely to be kicked out of the system before we
have a chance to read them, etc. These vnodes may still be freed via
the normal vnlru_proc() routines which may some day become a real lru.
before it can call VOP_INACTIVE(). This must use the EXCLUPGRADE path
because we may violate some lock order with another locked vnode if
we drop and reacquire the lock. If EXCLUPGRADE fails, we mark the
vnode with VI_OWEINACT. This case should be very rare.
- Clear VI_OWEINACT in vinactive() and vbusy().
- If VI_OWEINACT is set in vgone() do the VOP_INACTIVE call here as well.

- Move VSHOULDBUSY, VSHOULDFREE, and VTRYRECYCLE into vfs_subr.c so
no one else attempts to grow a dependency on them.
- Now that objects with pages hold the vnode we don't have to do unlocked
checks for the page count in the vm object in VSHOULDFREE. These three
macros could simply check for holdcnt state transitions to determine
whether the vnode is on the free list already, but the extra safety
the flag affords us is probably worth the minimal cost.
- The leafonly sysctl and code have been dead for several years now,
remove the sysctl and the code that employed it from vtryrecycle().
- vtryrecycle() also no longer has to check the object's page count as
the object holds the vnode until it reaches 0.

to use only the holdcnt to determine whether a vnode may be recycled,

vtryrecycle(). All obj refs also ref the vnode.
- Consistently use v_incr_usecount() to increment the usecount. This will
be more important later.

- Add a vn_start_write/vn_finished_write around vlrureclaim so we don't do
writing ops without suspending. This could suspend the vlruproc which
should not be a problem under normal circumstances.
- Manually implement VMIGHTFREE in vlrureclaim as this was the only instance
where it was used.
- Acquire a lock before calling vgone() as it now requires it.
- Move the acquisition of the vnode interlock from vtryrecycle() to
getnewvnode() so that if it fails we don't drop and reacquire the
vnode_free_list_mtx.
- Check for a usecount or holdcount at the end of vtryrecycle() in case
someone grabbed a ref while we were recycling. Abort the recycle, and
on the final ref drop this vnode will be placed on the head of the free
list.
- Move the redundant VOP_INACTIVE protection code into the local
vinactive() routine to avoid code bloat.
- Keep the vnode lock held across calls to vgone() in several places.
- vgonel() no longer uses XLOCK, instead callers must hold an exclusive
vnode lock. The VI_DOOMED flag is set to allow other threads to detect
a vnode which is no longer valid. This flag is set until the last
reference is gone, and there are no chances for a new ref. vgonel()
holds this lock across the entire function, which greatly simplifies
logic.
_ Only vfree() in one place in vgone() not three.
- Adjust vget() to check the VI_DOOMED flag prior to waiting on the lock
in the LK_NOWAIT case. In other cases, check after we have slept and
acquired an exlusive lock. This will simulate the old vx_wait()
behavior.

possibility of someone acquiring a VOP LOCK while xlock is held.

List devfs_dirents rather than vnodes off their shared struct cdev, this
saves a pointer field in the vnode at the expense of a field in the
devfs_dirent. There are often 100 times more vnodes so this is bargain.
In addition it makes it harder for people to try to do stypid things like
"finding the vnode from cdev".
Since DEVFS handles all VCHR nodes now, we can do the vnode related
cleanup in devfs_reclaim() instead of in dev_rel() and vgonel().
Similarly, we can do the struct cdev related cleanup in dev_rel()
instead of devfs_reclaim().
rename idestroy_dev() to destroy_devl() for consistency.
Add LIST_ENTRY de_alias to struct devfs_dirent.
Remove v_specnext from struct vnode.
Change si_hlist to si_alist in struct cdev.
String new devfs vnodes' devfs_dirent on si_alist when
we create them and take them off in devfs_reclaim().
Fix devfs_revoke() accordingly. Also don't clear fields
devfs_reclaim() will clear when called from vgone();
Let devfs_reclaim() call dev_rel() instead of vgonel().
Move the usecount tracking from dev_rel() to devfs_reclaim(),
and let dev_rel() take a struct cdev argument instead of vnode.
Destroy SI_CHEAPCLONE devices in dev_rel() (instead of
devfs_reclaim()) when they are no longer used. (This
should maybe happen in devfs_close() instead.)

Pull bufobj_invalbuf() out of vinvalbuf() and make g_vfs call it on

specific use it is safe. This solves the problem with buffers not

- Protect access to mnt_kern_flag with the mointpoint mutex.
- Remove some KASSERTs which are not legal checks without the appropriate
locks held.
- Use VCANRECYCLE() rather than rolling several slightly different
checks together.
- Return from vtryrecycle() with a recycled vnode rather than a locked
vnode. This simplifies some locking.
- Remove several GIANT_REQUIRED lines.
