The kernel did not hold a vnode reference associated with the
`rootvnode' pointer, but vfs_syscalls.c's checkdirs() assumed that it did. This bug reliably caused a panic at reboot time if any filesystem had been mounted directly over /. The checkdirs() function is called at mount time to find any process fd_cdir or fd_rdir pointers referencing the covered mountpoint vnode. It transfers these to point at the root of the new filesystem. However, this process was not reversed at unmount time, so processes with a cwd/root at a mount point would unexpectedly lose their cwd/root following a mount-unmount cycle at that mountpoint. This change should fix both of the above issues. Start_init() now holds an extra vnode reference corresponding to `rootvnode', and dounmount() releases this reference when the root filesystem is unmounted just before reboot. Dounmount() now undoes the actions taken by checkdirs() at mount time; any process cdir/rdir pointers that reference the root vnode of the unmounted filesystem are transferred to the now-uncovered vnode.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you have to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
