instead acquire it conditionally in closef() if it is required for
advisory locking. This removes Giant from the close() path of sockets
and pipes (and any other objects that don't acquire Giant in their
fo_close path, such as kqueues). Giant will still be acquired twice for
vnodes -- once for advisory lock teardown, and a second time in the
fo_close method. Both Poul-Henning and I believe that the advisory lock
teardown code can be moved into the vn_closefile path shortly.
This trims a percent or two off the cost of most non-vnode close
operations on SMP, but has a fairly minimal impact on UP where the cost
of a single mutex operation is pretty low.
Use this in all the places where sleeping with the lock held is not
an issue.
The distinction will become significant once we finalize the exact
lock-type to use for this kind of case.
(sorele()/sotryfree()):
- This permits the caller to acquire the accept mutex before the socket
mutex, avoiding sofree() having to drop the socket mutex and re-order,
which could lead to races permitting more than one thread to enter
sofree() after a socket is ready to be free'd.
- This also covers clearing of the so_pcb weak socket reference from
the protocol to the socket, preventing races in clearing and
evaluation of the reference such that sofree() might be called more
than once on the same socket.
This appears to close a race I was able to easily trigger by repeatedly
opening and resetting TCP connections to a host, in which the
tcp_close() code called as a result of the RST raced with the close()
of the accepted socket in the user process resulting in simultaneous
attempts to de-allocate the same socket. The new locking increases
the overhead for operations that may potentially free the socket, so we
will want to revise the synchronization strategy here as we normalize
the reference counting model for sockets. The use of the accept mutex
in freeing of sockets that are not listen sockets is primarily
motivated by the potential need to remove the socket from the
incomplete connection queue on its parent (listen) socket, so cleaning
up the reference model here may allow us to substantially weaken the
synchronization requirements.

Giant conditional on debug.mpsafenet in the socket soo_stat() routine,

Giant. Accept an unlocked read in kqueue_stat(), and cryptof_stat() is
a no-op. Don't acquire Giant in fstat() system call.
Note: in fdescfs, fo_stat() is called while holding Giant due to the VFS
stack sitting on top, and therefore there will still be Giant recursion
in this case.
individual file object implementations can optionally acquire Giant if
they require it:
- soo_close(): depends on debug.mpsafenet
- pipe_close(): Giant not acquired
- kqueue_close(): Giant required
- vn_close(): Giant required
- cryptof_close(): Giant required (conservative)
Notes:
Giant is still acquired in close() even when closing MPSAFE objects
due to kqueue requiring Giant in the calling closef() code.
Microbenchmarks indicate that this removal of Giant cuts 3%-3% off
of pipe create/destroy pairs from user space with SMP compiled into
the kernel.
The cryptodev and opencrypto code appears MPSAFE, but I'm unable to
test it extensively and so have left Giant over fo_close(). It can
probably be removed given some testing and review.

- Assert SOCK_LOCK(so) macros that directly manipulate so_count:
soref(), sorele().
- Assert SOCK_LOCK(so) in macros/functions that rely on the state of
so_count: sofree(), sotryfree().
- Acquire SOCK_LOCK(so) before calling these functions or macros in
various contexts in the stack, both at the socket and protocol
layers.
- In some cases, perform soisdisconnected() before sotryfree(), as
this could result in frobbing of a non-present socket if
sotryfree() actually frees the socket.
- Note that sofree()/sotryfree() will release the socket lock even if
they don't free the socket.

- 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
it without needing a further lock.
- 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
either an rlimit, or the current or max individual limit of the specified

- The ibcs2 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits. It
also no longer uses the stackgap for accessing sysctl's for the

table, acquiring the necessary locks as it works. It usually returns
two references to the new descriptor: one in the descriptor table
and one via a pointer argument.
As falloc releases the FILEDESC lock before returning, there is a
potential for a process to close the reference in the file descriptor
table before falloc's caller gets to use the file. I don't think this
can happen in practice at the moment, because Giant indirectly protects
closes.
To stop the file being completly closed in this situation, this change
makes falloc set the refcount to two when both references are returned.
This makes life easier for several of falloc's callers, because the
first thing they previously did was grab an extra reference on the
file.

fail p_cansee(td, p). This prevents sockstat and related
programs from seeing file descriptors owned by processes not
in the same jail as the thread, as well as having implications
for MAC, etc.
This is a partial solution: it permits an information leak about
the number of descriptors in the sizing calculation (but this is
not new information, you can also get it from kern.openfiles),
and doesn't attempt to mask file descriptors based on the
properties of the descriptor, only the process referencing it.
However, it provides most of what you want under most
circumstances, without complicating the locking.
