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.

This is in preparation for making the flags passed to device drivers be

Eliminate in toto VOCALL(), vop_t, VNODEOP_SET() etc.
Give coda correct prototypes and function definitions for

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.

Put a bio between the buf passed to dev_strategy() and the device driver

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

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.
The big lines are:
NODEV -> NULL
NOUDEV -> NODEV

Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.
in various kernel objects to represent security data, we embed a
(struct label *) pointer, which now references labels allocated using
a UMA zone (mac_label.c). This allows the size and shape of struct
label to be varied without changing the size and shape of these kernel
objects, which become part of the frozen ABI with 5-STABLE. This opens
the door for boot-time selection of the number of label slots, and hence
changes to the bound on the number of simultaneous labeled policies
at boot-time instead of compile-time. This also makes it easier to
embed label references in new objects as required for locking/caching
with fine-grained network stack locking, such as inpcb structures.
This change also moves us further in the direction of hiding the
structure of kernel objects from MAC policy modules, not to mention
dramatically reducing the number of '&' symbols appearing in both the
MAC Framework and MAC policy modules, and improving readability.
While this results in minimal performance change with MAC enabled, it
will observably shrink the size of a number of critical kernel data
structures for the !MAC case, and should have a small (but measurable)
performance benefit (i.e., struct vnode, struct socket) do to memory
conservation and reduced cost of zeroing memory.
NOTE: Users of MAC must recompile their kernel and all MAC modules as a
result of this change. Because this is an API change, third party
MAC modules will also need to be updated to make less use of the '&'
symbol.

access its controlling terminal.
In essense, history dictates that any process is allowed to open
/dev/tty for RW, irrespective of credential, because by definition
it is it's own controlling terminal.
Before DEVFS we relied on a hacky half-device thing (kern/tty_tty.c)
which did the magic deep down at device level, which at best was
disgusting from an architectural point of view.
My first shot at this was to use the cloning mechanism to simply
give people the right tty when they ask for /dev/tty, that's why
you get this, slightly counter intuitive result:
syv# ls -l /dev/tty `tty`
crw--w---- 1 u1 tty 5, 0 Jan 13 22:14 /dev/tty
crw--w---- 1 u1 tty 5, 0 Jan 13 22:14 /dev/ttyp0
Trouble is, when user u1 su(1)'s to user u2, he cannot open
/dev/ttyp0 anymore because he doesn't have permission to do so.
The above fix allows him to do that.
The interesting side effect is that one was previously only able
to access the controlling tty by indirection:
date > /dev/tty
but not by name:
date > `tty`
This is now possible, and that feels a lot more like DTRT.

"refreshing" the label on the vnode before use, just get the label
right from inception. For single-label file systems, set the label
in the generic VFS getnewvnode() code; for multi-label file systems,
leave the labeling up to the file system. With UFS1/2, this means
reading the extended attribute during vfs_vget() as the inode is
pulled off disk, rather than hitting the extended attributes
frequently during operations later, improving performance. This
also corrects sematics for shared vnode locks, which were not
previously present in the system. This chances the cache
coherrency properties WRT out-of-band access to label data, but in
an acceptable form. With UFS1, there is a small race condition
during automatic extended attribute start -- this is not present
with UFS2, and occurs because EAs aren't available at vnode
inception. We'll introduce a work around for this shortly.
