The VOP is intended to be used in situations where VFS has two
referenced locked vnodes, typically a directory vnode dvp and a vnode
vp that is linked from the directory, and at least dvp is vput(9)ed.
The child vnode can be also vput-ed, but optionally left referenced and
locked.
There, at least UFS may need to do some actions with dvp which cannot be
done while vp is also locked, so its lock might be dropped temporary.
For instance, in some cases UFS needs to sync dvp to avoid filesystem
state that is currently not handled by either kernel nor fsck. Having
such VOP provides the neccessary context for filesystem which can do
correct locking and handle potential reclamation of vp after relock.
Trivial implementation does vput(dvp) and optionally vput(vp).

Replace MAXPHYS by runtime variable maxphys. It is initialized from
MAXPHYS by default, but can be also adjusted with the tunable kern.maxphys.
Make b_pages[] array in struct buf flexible. Size b_pages[] for buffer
cache buffers exactly to atop(maxbcachebuf) (currently it is sized to
atop(MAXPHYS)), and b_pages[] for pbufs is sized to atop(maxphys) + 1.
The +1 for pbufs allow several pbuf consumers, among them vmapbuf(),
to use unaligned buffers still sized to maxphys, esp. when such
buffers come from userspace (*). Overall, we save significant amount
of otherwise wasted memory in b_pages[] for buffer cache buffers,
while bumping MAXPHYS to desired high value.
Eliminate all direct uses of the MAXPHYS constant in kernel and driver
sources, except a place which initialize maxphys. Some random (and
arguably weird) uses of MAXPHYS, e.g. in linuxolator, are converted
straight. Some drivers, which use MAXPHYS to size embeded structures,
get private MAXPHYS-like constant; their convertion is out of scope
for this work.

Without this patch, when an application performed lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE)
on a file in a file system that does not have its own VOP_IOCTL(), the
lseek(2) fails with errno ENOTTY. This didn't seem appropriate, since
ENOTTY is not listed as an error return by either the lseek(2) man page
nor the POSIX draft for lseek(2).
A discussion on freebsd-current@ seemed to indicate that implementing
a trivial algorithm that returns the offset argument for FIOSEEKDATA and
returns the file's size for FIOSEEKHOLE was the preferred fix.
http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?CAOtMX2iiQdv1+15e1N_r7V6aCx_VqAJCTP1AW+qs3Yg7sPg9wA
The Linux kernel appears to implement this trivial algorithm as well.
This patch adds a vop_stdioctl() that implements this trivial algorithm.
It returns errors consistent with vn_bmap_seekhole() and, as such, will
still return ENOTTY for non-regular files.
I have proposed a separate patch that maps errors not described by the
lseek(2) man page nor POSIX draft to EINVAL. This patch is under separate

Suppose that a binary was executed from tmpfs mount, and the text
vnode was reclaimed while the binary was still running. It is
possible during even the normal operations since tmpfs vnode'
vm_object has swap type, and no references on the vnode is held. Also
assume that the text vnode was revived for some reason. Then, on the
process exit or exec, unmapping of the text mapping tries to remove
the text reference from the vnode, but since it went from
recycle/instantiation cycle, there is no reference kept, and assertion
in VOP_UNSET_TEXT_CHECKED() triggers.
Fix this by keeping a use reference on the tmpfs vnode for each exec
reference. This prevents the vnode reclamation while executable map
entry is active.
Do it by adding per-mount flag MNTK_TEXT_REFS that directs
vop_stdset_text() to add use ref on first vnode text use, and
per-vnode VI_TEXT_REF flag, to record the need on unref in
vop_stdunset_text() on last vnode text use going away. Set

kern_execve() locks text vnode exclusive to be able to set and clear
VV_TEXT flag. VV_TEXT is mutually exclusive with the v_writecount > 0
condition.
The change removes VV_TEXT, replacing it with the condition
v_writecount <= -1, and puts v_writecount under the vnode interlock.
Each text reference decrements v_writecount. To clear the text
reference when the segment is unmapped, it is recorded in the
vm_map_entry backed by the text file as MAP_ENTRY_VN_TEXT flag, and
v_writecount is incremented on the map entry removal
The operations like VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT() and VOP_SET_TEXT() check that
v_writecount does not contradict the desired change. vn_writecheck()
is now racy and its use was eliminated everywhere except access.
Atomic check for writeability and increment of v_writecount is
performed by the VOP. vn_truncate() now increments v_writecount
around VOP_SETATTR() call, lack of which is arguably a bug on its own.
nullfs bypasses v_writecount to the lower vnode always, so nullfs
vnode has its own v_writecount correct, and lower vnode gets all
references, since object->handle is always lower vnode.
On the text vnode' vm object dealloc, the v_writecount value is reset
to zero, and deadfs vop_unset_text short-circuit the operation.
Reclamation of lowervp always reclaims all nullfs vnodes referencing
lowervp first, so no stray references are left.

POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED). The most broken case was for applications that
advise for the whole file and then do block-aligned i/o's 1 block at
a time. Then advice is sent to VOP_ADVISE() 1 block at a time, but
in vop_stdadvise() the 1-block advice was turned into 0-block advice
for the buffer cache part.
The bugs were caused partly by callers representing the region as
(a_start, a_end), where a_end is actually the maximum, and everything
else representing the region as (start, end) where 'end' is actually
the end (1 after the maximum). The maximum a_end must be rounded up,
but was rounded down. Also, rounding to page boundaries was inconsistent.
The bugs and fixes have no effect for zfs and other file systems that
don't use the buffer cache or the page cache. Most or all file systems
currently use the default VOP_FADVISE(), but it finds a null buffer cache
and a null page cache for file systems that don't use normal methods.

On the one hand, FIFOs should respect other variables not supported by
the fifofs vnode operation (such as _PC_NAME_MAX, _PC_LINK_MAX, etc.).
These values are fs-specific and must come from a fs-specific method.
On the other hand, filesystems that support FIFOs are required to
support _PC_PIPE_BUF on directory vnodes that can contain FIFOs.
Given this latter requirement, once the fs-specific VOP_PATHCONF
method supports _PC_PIPE_BUF for directories, it is also suitable for
FIFOs permitting a single VOP_PATHCONF method to be used for both
FIFOs and non-FIFOs.
To that end, retire all of the FIFO-specific pathconf methods from
filesystems and change FIFO-specific vnode operation switches to use
the existing fs-specific VOP_PATHCONF method. For fifofs, set it's
VOP_PATHCONF to VOP_PANIC since it should no longer be used.
While here, move _PC_PIPE_BUF handling out of vop_stdpathconf() so that
only filesystems supporting FIFOs will report a value. In addition,
