Assert this.
In the reported panic, vdestroy() fired the assertion "vp has namecache
for ..", because pseudofs may end up doing cache_enter() with reclaimed
dvp, after dotdot lookup temporary unlocked dvp.
Similar problem exists in ufs_lookup() for "." lookup, when vnode
lock needs to be upgraded.
Verify that dvp is not reclaimed before calling cache_enter().

Add SDT DTrace probes for various namecache events:
vfs:namecache:enter:done - new entry in the name cache, passed parent
directory vnode pointer, name added to the cache, and child vnode
pointer.
vfs:namecache:enter_negative:done - new negative entry in the name cache,
passed parent vnode pointer, name added to the cache.
vfs:namecache:fullpath:enter - call to vn_fullpath1() is made, passed
the vnode to resolve to a name.
vfs:namecache:fullpath:hit - vn_fullpath1() successfully resolved a
search for the parent of an object using the namecache, passed the
discovered parent directory vnode pointer, name, and child vnode
pointer.
vfs:namecache:fullpath:miss - vn_fullpath1() failed to resolve a search
for the parent of an object using the namecache, passed the child
vnode pointer.
vfs:namecache:fullpath:return - vn_fullpath1() has completed, passed the
error number, and if that is zero, the vnode to resolve, and the
returned path.
vfs:namecache:lookup:hit - postive name cache entry hit, passed the
parent directory vnode pointer, name, and child vnode pointer.
vfs:namecache:lookup:hit_negative - negative name cache entry hit,
passed the parent directory vnode pointer and name.
vfs:namecache:lookup:miss - name cache miss, passed the parent directory
pointer and the full remaining component name (not terminated after the
cache miss component).
vfs:namecache:purge:done - name cache purge for a vnode, passed the vnode
pointer to purge.
vfs:namecache:purge_negative:done - name cache purge of negative entries
for children of a vnode, passed the vnode pointer to purge.
vfs:namecache:purgevfs - name cache purge for a mountpoint, passed the
mount pointer. Separate probes will also be invoked for each cache
entry zapped.
vfs:namecache:zap:done - name cache entry zapped, passed the parent
directory vnode pointer, name, and child vnode pointer.
vfs:namecache:zap_negative:done - negative name cache entry zapped,
passed the parent directory vnode pointer and name.
For any probes involving an extant name cache entry (enter, hit, zapp),
we use the nul-terminated string for the name component. For misses,
the remainder of the path, including later components, is provided as
an argument instead since there is no handy nul-terminated version of
the string around. This is arguably a bug.

stale entries, we save a copy of the directory's modification time when
the first negative cache entry was added in the directory's NFS node.
When a negative cache entry is hit during a pathname lookup, the parent
directory's modification time is checked. If it has changed, all of the
negative cache entries for that parent are purged and the lookup falls
back to using the RPC. This required adding a new cache_purge_negative()
method to the name cache to purge only negative cache entries for a given
directory.

In normal operation, the number of cache entries is roughly equal to the
number of active vnodes. However, when most of the recently accessed
vnodes have many hard links, the number of cache entries can be 32000
times as large, exhausting kernel memory and provoking a panic in
kmem_malloc().

on a best-effort basis. Teach vn_fullpath to use this new VOP if a
regular VFS cache lookup fails. This VOP is designed to supplement the
VFS cache to provide a better chance that a vnode-to-name lookup will
succeed.
Currently, an implementation for devfs is being committed. The default
implementation is to return ENOENT.

unmounts. When we upgrade a vnode lock from shared to exclusive during
a name cache lookup, fail the lookup with EBADF if the vnode is invalidated

downgrade an exclusively locked vnode if it should be share locked.

not in the namecache when shared lookups are enabled (vfs.lookup_shared=1,
it is currently off by default) and the filesystem supports shared lookups
(e.g. NFS client). Specifically, if multiple concurrent LOOKUPs both miss
in the name cache in parallel, each of the lookups may each end up adding an
entry to the namecache resulting in duplicate entries in the namecache
for the same pathname. A subsequent removal of the mapping of that
pathname to that vnode (via remove or rename) would only evict one of the
entries from the name cache. As a result, subseqent lookups for that
pathname would still return the old vnode.
This race was observed with shared lookups over NFS where a file was updated
by writing a new file out to a temporary file name and then renaming that
temporary file to the "real" file to effect atomic updates of a file. Other
processes on the same client that were periodically reading the file would
occasionally receive an ESTALE error from open(2) because the VOP_GETATTR()
in nfs_open() would receive that error when given the stale vnode.
The fix here is to check for duplicates in cache_enter() and just return
if an entry for this same directory and leaf file name for this vnode is
already in the cache. The check for duplicates is done by walking the
per-vnode list of name cache entries. It is expected that this list should
be very small in the common case (usually 0 or 1 entries during a
cache_enter() since most files only have 1 "leaf" name).

processes are not producing absolute pathname tokens. It is required
that audited pathnames are generated relative to the global root mount
point. This modification changes our implementation of audit_canon_path(9)
and introduces a new function: vn_fullpath_global(9) which performs a
vnode -> pathname translation relative to the global mount point based
on the contents of the name cache. Much like vn_fullpath,
vn_fullpath_global is a wrapper function which called vn_fullpath1.
Further, the string parsing routines have been converted to use the
sbuf(9) framework. This change also removes the conditional acquisition
of Giant, since the vn_fullpath1 method will not dip into file system
dependent code.
The vnode locking was modified to use vhold()/vdrop() instead the vref()
and vrele(). This will modify the hold count instead of modifying the
user count. This makes more sense since it's the kernel that requires
the reference to the vnode. This also makes sure that the vnode does not
get recycled we hold the reference to it. [1]
