7dcd8ef946 Fix the problem introduced by vop_stdbmap() usage. The NTFS does not
implement worthful VOP_BMAP() handler, so it expect the blkno not to be
changed by VOP_BMAP(). Otherwise, it'll have to find some tricky way to
determine if bp was VOP_BMAP()ed or not in VOP_STRATEGY().

4d93c0be1f - Use vrefcnt() where it is safe to do so instead of doing direct and
unlocked accesses to v_usecount.
 - Lock access to the buf lists in the various sync routines.  interlock
   locking could be avoided almost entirely in leaf filesystems if the
   fsync function had a generic helper.

06be2aaa83 Remove all use of vnode->v_tag, replacing with appropriate substitutes.
v_tag is now const char * and should only be used for debugging.

Additionally:
1. All users of VT_NTS now check vfsconf->vf_type VFCF_NETWORK
2. The user of VT_PROCFS now checks for the new flag VV_PROCDEP, which
is propagated by pseudofs to all child vnodes if the fs sets PFS_PROCDEP.

e6e370a7fe - Replace v_flag with v_iflag and v_vflag
- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
   with VOP calls is needed.
 - v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
   management issues.  These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
 - All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
   mp_fixme's.
 - Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
   clear.
 - Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
   locking.

a0595d0249 Add a flags parameter to VFS_VGET to pass through the desired
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.
only lightly on the others, so if you find a problem there, please
let me (mckusick@mckusick.com) know.

0864ef1e8a Change the second argument of vflush() to an integer that specifies
the number of references on the filesystem root vnode to be both
expected and released. Many filesystems hold an extra reference on
the filesystem root vnode, which must be accounted for when
determining if the filesystem is busy and then released if it isn't
busy. The old `skipvp' approach required individual filesystem
xxx_unmount functions to re-implement much of vflush()'s logic to
deal with the root vnode.

All 9 filesystems that hold an extra reference on the root vnode
got the logic wrong in the case of forced unmounts, so `umount -f'
would always fail if there were any extra root vnode references.
Fix this issue centrally in vflush(), now that we can.

This commit also fixes a vnode reference leak in devfs, which could
result in idle devfs filesystems that refuse to unmount.

This makes the "struct netexport *" paramter to the vfs_export

f84e29a06c This patch removes the VOP_BWRITE() vector.
VOP_BWRITE() was a hack which made it possible for NFS client
side to use struct buf with non-bio backing.

This patch takes a more general approach and adds a bp->b_op
vector where more methods can be added.

The success of this patch depends on bp->b_op being initialized
all relevant places for some value of "relevant" which is not
easy to determine.  For now the buffers have grown a b_magic
element which will make such issues a tiny bit easier to debug.

An initial tidyup of the mount() syscall and VFS mount code.

This code replaces the earlier work done by jlemon in an attempt to
make linux_mount() work.

* the guts of the mount work has been moved into vfs_mount().

* move `type', `path' and `flags' from being userland variables into being
  kernel variables in vfs_mount(). `data' remains a pointer into
  userspace.

* Attempt to verify the `type' and `path' strings passed to vfs_mount()
  aren't too long.

* rework mount() and linux_mount() to take the userland parameters
  (besides data, as mentioned) and pass kernel variables to vfs_mount().
  (linux_mount() already did this, I've just tidied it up a little more.)

* remove the copyin*() stuff for `path'. `data' still requires copyin*()
  since its a pointer into userland.

* set `mount->mnt_statf_mntonname' in vfs_mount() rather than in each
  filesystem.  This variable is generally initialised with `path', and
  each filesystem can override it if they want to.

* NOTE: f_mntonname is intiailised with "/" in the case of a root mount.

9ed346bab0 Change and clean the mutex lock interface.
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.

Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.

Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue.  It is likely to write on your disk

2447bec829 Simplify cdevsw registration.
The cdevsw_add() function now finds the major number(s) in the
struct cdevsw passed to it.  cdevsw_add_generic() is no longer
needed, cdevsw_add() does the same thing.

cdevsw_add() will print an message if the d_maj field looks bogus.

Remove nblkdev and nchrdev variables.  Most places they were used
bogusly.  Instead check a dev_t for validity by seeing if devsw()
or bdevsw() returns NULL.

Move bdevsw() and devsw() functions to kern/kern_conf.c

Bump __FreeBSD_version to 400006

This commit removes:
        72 bogus makedev() calls
        26 bogus SYSINIT functions

if_xe.c bogusly accessed cdevsw[], author/maintainer please fix.

I4b and vinum not changed.  Patches emailed to authors.  LINT
probably broken until they catch up.

bfbb9ce670 Divorce "dev_t" from the "major|minor" bitmap, which is now called
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).

461b249325 Removed annoying messaged during boot,added some check
before mounting (should help to do not mount extended partitions:-).
Fixed problem with hanging while unmounting busy fs.

And (the most important) added some locks to prevent
simulaneous access to kernel structures!
