that use it. Specifically, vop_stdlock uses the lock pointed to by
vp->v_vnlock. By default, getnewvnode sets up vp->v_vnlock to
reference vp->v_lock. Filesystems that wish to use the default
do not need to allocate a lock at the front of their node structure
(as some still did) or do a lockinit. They can simply start using
vn_lock/VOP_UNLOCK. Filesystems that wish to manage their own locks,
but still use the vop_stdlock functions (such as nullfs) can simply
replace vp->v_vnlock with a pointer to the lock that they wish to
have used for the vnode. Such filesystems are responsible for
setting the vp->v_vnlock back to the default in their vop_reclaim
routine (e.g., vp->v_vnlock = &vp->v_lock).
In theory, this set of changes cleans up the existing filesystem
lock interface and should have no function change to the existing
locking scheme.

locking flags when acquiring a vnode. The immediate purpose is
to allow polling lock requests (LK_NOWAIT) needed by soft updates
to avoid deadlock when enlisting other processes to help with
the background cleanup. For the future it will allow the use of
shared locks for read access to vnodes. This change touches a
lot of files as it affects most filesystems within the system.
It has been well tested on FFS, loopback, and CD-ROM filesystems.

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.
Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.
Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

I'm not sure BUF_KERNPROC() is even the right thing to do or in the
right place or implemented the right way (inline vs normal function).
Remove consequently unneeded #includes of <sys/proc.h>
Add lockdestroy() and appropriate invocations, which corresponds to
lockinit() and must be called to clean up after a lockmgr lock is no
longer needed.

<sys/bio.h> is now a prerequisite for <sys/buf.h> but it shall

Diskdrivers and similar stuff below specfs::strategy() should no
longer need to include <sys/buf.> unless they need caching of data.
Still a few bogus uses of struct buf to track down.

udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()
For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.
Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.
Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.
In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.
In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).
A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.
Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.
Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.
Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).
1. Add new file "sys/kern/vfs_default.c" where default actions for
VOPs go. Implement proper defaults for ABORTOP, BWRITE, LEASE,
POLL, REVOKE and STRATEGY. Various stuff spread over the entire
tree belongs here.
2. Change VOP_BLKATOFF to a normal function in cd9660.
3. Kill VOP_BLKATOFF, VOP_TRUNCATE, VOP_VFREE, VOP_VALLOC. These
are private interface functions between UFS and the underlying
storage manager layer (FFS/LFS/MFS/EXT2FS). The functions now
live in struct ufsmount instead.
4. Remove a kludge of VOP_ functions in all filesystems, that did
nothing but obscure the simplicity and break the expandability.
If a filesystem doesn't implement VOP_FOO, it shouldn't have an
entry for it in its vnops table. The system will try to DTRT
if it is not implemented. There are still some cruft left, but
the bulk of it is done.
5. Fix another VCALL in vfs_cache.c (thanks Bruce!)
