these filesystems will support shared locks until they are explicitly
modified to do so. Careful review must be done to ensure that this
is safe for each individual filesystem.

List devfs_dirents rather than vnodes off their shared struct cdev, this
saves a pointer field in the vnode at the expense of a field in the
devfs_dirent. There are often 100 times more vnodes so this is bargain.
In addition it makes it harder for people to try to do stypid things like
"finding the vnode from cdev".
Since DEVFS handles all VCHR nodes now, we can do the vnode related
cleanup in devfs_reclaim() instead of in dev_rel() and vgonel().
Similarly, we can do the struct cdev related cleanup in dev_rel()
instead of devfs_reclaim().
rename idestroy_dev() to destroy_devl() for consistency.
Add LIST_ENTRY de_alias to struct devfs_dirent.
Remove v_specnext from struct vnode.
Change si_hlist to si_alist in struct cdev.
String new devfs vnodes' devfs_dirent on si_alist when
we create them and take them off in devfs_reclaim().
Fix devfs_revoke() accordingly. Also don't clear fields
devfs_reclaim() will clear when called from vgone();
Let devfs_reclaim() call dev_rel() instead of vgonel().
Move the usecount tracking from dev_rel() to devfs_reclaim(),
and let dev_rel() take a struct cdev argument instead of vnode.
Destroy SI_CHEAPCLONE devices in dev_rel() (instead of
devfs_reclaim()) when they are no longer used. (This
should maybe happen in devfs_close() instead.)
After disscussing things I have decided to take the easy and
consistent 90% solution instead of aiming for the very involved 99%
solution.
If we allow forceful unmounts of DEVFS we need to decide how to handle
the devices which are in use through this filesystem at the time.
We cannot just readopt the open devices in the main /dev instance since
that would open us to security issues.
For the majority of the devices, this is relatively straightforward
as we can just pretend they got revoke(2)'ed.
Some devices get tricky: /dev/console and /dev/tty for instance
does a sort of recursive open of the real console device. Other devices
may be mmap'ed (kill the processes ?).
And then there are disk devices which are mounted.
The correct thing here would be to recursively unmount the filesystems
mounte from devices from our DEVFS instance (forcefully) and if
this succeeds, complete the forcefully unmount of DEVFS. But if
one of the forceful unmounts fail we cannot complete the forceful
unmount of DEVFS, but we are likely to already have severed a lot
of stuff in the process of trying.
Event attempting this would be a lot of code for a very far out
corner-case which most people would never see or get in touch with.
It's just not worth it.
methods:
Read can see O_NONBLOCK and O_DIRECT.
Write can see O_NONBLOCK, O_DIRECT and O_FSYNC.
In addition O_DIRECT is shadowed as IO_DIRECT for now for backwards
compatibility.
fcntl.h.
This is in preparation for making the flags passed to device drivers be
consistently from fcntl.h for all entrypoints.
Today open, close and ioctl uses fcntl.h flags, while read and write
uses vnode.h flags.
split the conversion of the remaining three filesystems out from the root
mounting changes, so in one go:
cd9660:
Convert to nmount.
Add omount compat shims.
Remove dedicated rootfs mounting code.
Use vfs_mountedfrom()
Rely on vfs_mount.c calling VFS_STATFS()
nfs(client):
Convert to nmount (the simple way, mount_nfs(8) is still necessary).
Add omount compat shims.
Drop COMPAT_PRELITE2 mount arg compatibility.
ffs:
Convert to nmount.
Add omount compat shims.
Remove dedicated rootfs mounting code.
Use vfs_mountedfrom()
Rely on vfs_mount.c calling VFS_STATFS()
Remove vfs_omount() method, all filesystems are now converted.
Remove MNTK_WANTRDWR, handling RO/RW conversions is a filesystem
task, and they all do it now.
Change rootmounting to use DEVFS trampoline:
vfs_mount.c:
Mount devfs on /. Devfs needs no 'from' so this is clean.
symlink /dev to /. This makes it possible to lookup /dev/foo.
Mount "real" root filesystem on /.
Surgically move the devfs mountpoint from under the real root
filesystem onto /dev in the real root filesystem.
Remove now unnecessary getdiskbyname().
kern_init.c:
Don't do devfs mounting and rootvnode assignment here, it was
already handled by vfs_mount.c.
Remove now unused bdevvp(), addaliasu() and addalias(). Put the
few necessary lines in devfs where they belong. This eliminates the
second-last source of bogo vnodes, leaving only the lemming-syncer.
Remove rootdev variable, it doesn't give meaning in a global context and
was not trustworth anyway. Correct information is provided by
statfs(/).
doesn't. Most of the implementations have grown weeds for this so they
copy some fields from mnt_stat if the passed argument isn't that.
Fix this the cleaner way: Always call the implementation on mnt_stat
and copy that in toto to the VFS_STATFS argument if different.
initializations but we did have lofty goals and big ideals.
Adjust to more contemporary circumstances and gain type checking.
Replace the entire vop_t frobbing thing with properly typed
structures. The only casualty is that we can not add a new
VOP_ method with a loadable module. History has not given
us reason to belive this would ever be feasible in the the
first place.
Eliminate in toto VOCALL(), vop_t, VNODEOP_SET() etc.
Give coda correct prototypes and function definitions for
all vop_()s.
Generate a bit more data from the vnode_if.src file: a
struct vop_vector and protype typedefs for all vop methods.
Add a new vop_bypass() and make vop_default be a pointer
to another struct vop_vector.
Remove a lot of vfs_init since vop_vector is ready to use
from the compiler.
Cast various vop_mumble() to void * with uppercase name,
for instance VOP_PANIC, VOP_NULL etc.
Implement VCALL() by making vdesc_offset the offsetof() the
relevant function pointer in vop_vector. This is disgusting
but since the code is generated by a script comparatively
safe. The alternative for nullfs etc. would be much worse.
Fix up all vnode method vectors to remove casts so they
become typesafe. (The bulk of this is generated by scripts)
to a cdev and a devsw, doing all the relevant checks along the way.
Add the check to see if fp->f_vnode->v_rdev differs from our cached
fp->f_data copy of our cdev. If it does the device was revoked and
we return ENXIO.
The tunable vfs.devfs.fops controls this feature and defaults to off.
When enabled (vfs.devfs.fops=1 in loader), device vnodes opened
through a filedescriptor gets a special fops vector which instead
of the detour through the vnode layer goes directly to DEVFS.
Amongst other things this allows us to run Giant free read/write to
device drivers which have been weaned off D_NEEDGIANT.
Currently this means /dev/null, /dev/zero, disks, (and maybe the
random stuff ?)
On a 700MHz K7 machine this doubles the speed of
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1000000
This roughly translates to shaving 2usec of each read/write syscall.
The poll/kqfilter paths need more work before they are giant free,
this work is ongoing in p4::phk_bufwork
Please test this and report any problems, LORs etc.
buf->b-dev.
Put a bio between the buf passed to dev_strategy() and the device driver
strategy routine in order to not clobber fields in the buf.
Assert copyright on vfs_bio.c and update copyright message to canonical
text. There is no legal difference between John Dysons two-clause
abbreviated BSD license and the canonical text.
We keep si_bsize_phys around for now as that is the simplest way to pull
the number out of disk device drivers in devfs_open(). The correct solution
would be to do an ioctl(DIOCGSECTORSIZE), but the point is probably mooth
when filesystems sit on GEOM, so don't bother for now.
jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath taught me lessons a thousand
times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rises
at it. Here were those hacks that I have curs'd I know not how
oft. Where be your kludges now? your workarounds? your layering
violations, that were wont to set the table on a roar?
Move the skeleton of specfs into devfs where it now belongs and
bury the rest.
frobbing the cdevsw.
In both cases we examine only the cdevsw and it is a good question if we
weren't better off copying those properties into the cdev in the first
place. This question will be revisited.

Name our filesystems mount function consistently.
Eliminate the namiedata argument to both vfs_mount and vfs_omount.
It was originally there to save stack space. A few places abused

it is unused.
Reorganize the root filesystem selection code.

scheme for suser_cred flags.
The old name is still defined, but will be removed in a few days (unless I

the caller passes in a td that is curthread, and consistently pass 'td'
into vget(). Remove some bogus logic that passed in td or curthread
conditional on td being non-NULL, which seems redundant in the face of
the earlier assignment of td to curthread if td is NULL.
In devfs_symlink(), cache the passed thread in 'td' so we don't have
to keep retrieving it from the 'ap' structure, and assert that td is
curthread (since we dereference it to get thread-local td_ucred). Use
'td' in preference to curthread for later lockmgr calls, since they are
equal.
This is to allow filesystems to decide based on the passed thread
which vnode to return.
Several filesystems used curthread, they now use the passed thread.
