Note that this doesn't fix the real problem -- the real problem is generally
bad setup by ignorant users, and education is the right way to fix it.
So while this doesn't actually solve the prolem mentioned in the complaint
(since it's still possible to do it via other methods, although they mostly
involve a bit more complicity), and there are better methods to do this,
nobody was willing or able to provide me with a real world example that
couldn't be worked around using the existing permissions and group

to remove 'b'lock devices. The agreement is, essentially, that
block devices will be collapsed into character devices as a first
step (though I don't particularly agree), and raw device names 'rxxx'
will become simply 'xxx' in devfs in the second step (i.e. no 'rxxx'
names will exist). The renaming will not effect the original /dev
and the expectation is that devfs will eventually (but not immediately)
become the standard way to access devices in the system.
If it is determined that a reimplementation of block device access
characteristics is beneficial, a number of alternatives will
be possible that do not involve resurrecting the 'b'lock device class.
For example, an ioctl() that might be made on an open character device
descriptor or a generic buffered overlay device.
This commit removes the blockdev disablement sysctl which does not
apply to the solution that was reached.
This means that access to block devices nodes will act the
same as char device nodes for disk-like devices.
If you encounter problems after this, where programs accessing
disks directly fail to operate, please use the following command
to revert to previous behaviour:
sysctl -w vfs.bdev_buffered=1
And verify that this was indeed the cause of your trouble.
See the mail-archives of the arch@FreeBSD.org list for background.
two new functions spec_buf{read|write}.
Add sysctl vfs.bdev_buffered which defaults to 1 == true. This
sysctl can be used to experimentally turn buffered behaviour for
bdevs off. I should not be changed while any blockdevices are
open. Remove the misplaced sysctl vfs.enable_userblk_io.
No other changes in behaviour.
-----------------------------
The core of the signalling code has been rewritten to operate
on the new sigset_t. No methodological changes have been made.
Most references to a sigset_t object are through macros (see
signalvar.h) to create a level of abstraction and to provide
a basis for further improvements.
The NSIG constant has not been changed to reflect the maximum
number of signals possible. The reason is that it breaks
programs (especially shells) which assume that all signals
have a non-null name in sys_signame. See src/bin/sh/trap.c
for an example. Instead _SIG_MAXSIG has been introduced to
hold the maximum signal possible with the new sigset_t.
struct sigprop has been moved from signalvar.h to kern_sig.c
because a) it is only used there, and b) access must be done
though function sigprop(). The latter because the table doesn't
holds properties for all signals, but only for the first NSIG
signals.
signal.h has been reorganized to make reading easier and to
add the new and/or modified structures. The "old" structures
are moved to signalvar.h to prevent namespace polution.
Especially the coda filesystem suffers from the change, because
it contained lines like (p->p_sigmask == SIGIO), which is easy
to do for integral types, but not for compound types.
NOTE: kdump (and port linux_kdump) must be recompiled.
Thanks to Garrett Wollman and Daniel Eischen for pressing the
importance of changing sigreturn as well.

Fix bug in union_lookup() (note: there are probably still several bugs

setting lowervp, causing copyup code further on down to crash on a null
lowervp pointer. Changed the side effect to use a temporary variable
instead.
fixed (many due to changing semantics in other parts of the kernel and not
the original author's fault), including one critical one: unionfs could
cause UFS corruption in the fronting store due to calling VOP_OPEN for
writing without turning on vmio for the UFS vnode.
Most of the bugs were related to semantics changes in VOP calls, lock
ordering problems (causing deadlocks), improper handling of a read-only
backing store (such as an NFS mount), improper referencing and locking
of vnodes, not using real struct locks for vnode locking, not using
recursive locks when accessing the fronting store, and things like that.
New functionality has been added: unionfs now has mmap() support, but
only partially tested, and rename has been enhanced considerably.
There are still some things that unionfs cannot do. You cannot
rename a directory without confusing unionfs, and there are issues
with softlinks, hardlinks, and special files. unionfs mostly doesn't
understand them (and never did).
There are probably still panic situations, but hopefully no where near
as many as before this commit.
The unionfs in this commit has been tested overlayed on /usr/src
(backing /usr/src being a read-only NFS mount, fronting /usr/src being
a local filesystem). kernel builds have been tested, buildworld is
undergoing testing. More testing is necessary.

number used should not be close to a power of two, we use
83 for now.
Add new checkalias2() to get around the loss of info from

The aliased vnodes are hung on a list straight of the dev_t,

udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()

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).
Made a new (inline) function devsw(dev_t dev) and substituted it.
Changed to the BDEV variant to this format as well: bdevsw(dev_t dev)
DEVFS will eventually benefit from this change too.
Virtualize bdevsw[] from cdevsw. bdevsw() is now an (inline)
function.
Join CDEV_MODULE and BDEV_MODULE to DEV_MODULE (please pay attention
to the order of the cmaj/bmaj arguments!)

(ditto!)
(Next step will be to convert all bdev dev_t's to cdev dev_t's
before they get to do any damage^H^H^H^H^H^Hwork in the kernel.)
This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)

Persistance. (My head is still hurting from the last time we discussed this)
ATAPI flopies are not handled by the SLICE code yet.
When this code is running, all major numbers are arbitrary and COULD
be dynamically assigned. (this is not done, for POLA only)
Minor numbers for disk slices ARE arbitray and dynamically assigned.
* Figure out UTC relative to boottime. Four new functions provide
time relative to boottime.
* move "runtime" into struct proc. This helps fix the calcru()
problem in SMP.
* kill mono_time.
* add timespec{add|sub|cmp} macros to time.h. (XXX: These may change!)
* nanosleep, select & poll takes long sleeps one day at a time

They are atomic, but return in essence what is in the "time" variable.
gettime() is now a macro front for getmicrotime().
Various patches to use the two new functions instead of the various
hacks used in their absence.
Some puntuation and grammer patches from Bruce.
A couple of XXX comments.
has been some bitrot and incorrect assumptions in the vfs_bio code. These
problems have manifest themselves worse on NFS type filesystems, but can
still affect local filesystems under certain circumstances. Most of
the problems have involved mmap consistancy, and as a side-effect broke
the vfs.ioopt code. This code might have been committed seperately, but
almost everything is interrelated.
1) Allow (pmap_object_init_pt) prefaulting of buffer-busy pages that
are fully valid.
2) Rather than deactivating erroneously read initial (header) pages in
kern_exec, we now free them.
3) Fix the rundown of non-VMIO buffers that are in an inconsistent
(missing vp) state.
4) Fix the disassociation of pages from buffers in brelse. The previous
code had rotted and was faulty in a couple of important circumstances.
5) Remove a gratuitious buffer wakeup in vfs_vmio_release.
6) Remove a crufty and currently unused cluster mechanism for VBLK
files in vfs_bio_awrite. When the code is functional, I'll add back
a cleaner version.
7) The page busy count wakeups assocated with the buffer cache usage were
incorrectly cleaned up in a previous commit by me. Revert to the
original, correct version, but with a cleaner implementation.
8) The cluster read code now tries to keep data associated with buffers
more aggressively (without breaking the heuristics) when it is presumed
that the read data (buffers) will be soon needed.
9) Change to filesystem lockmgr locks so that they use LK_NOPAUSE. The
delay loop waiting is not useful for filesystem locks, due to the
length of the time intervals.
10) Correct and clean-up spec_getpages.
11) Implement a fully functional nfs_getpages, nfs_putpages.
12) Fix nfs_write so that modifications are coherent with the NFS data on
the server disk (at least as well as NFS seems to allow.)
13) Properly support MS_INVALIDATE on NFS.
14) Properly pass down MS_INVALIDATE to lower levels of the VM code from
vm_map_clean.
15) Better support the notion of pages being busy but valid, so that
fewer in-transit waits occur. (use p->busy more for pageouts instead
of PG_BUSY.) Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for
reads.
16) It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy. Make the
page allocation code handle that case correctly. (It should probably
be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors
robustly. I'll probably add a printf.)
17) Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep. It didn't handle
consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less
lofty. After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important
to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and
verify it's status (always.)
18) In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up.
19) Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush.
20) Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag
instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.
a complement to all ops that return a vpp, VFS_VRELE. This is
initially only for file systems that implement the following ops
that do a WILLRELE:
vop_create, vop_whiteout, vop_mknod, vop_remove, vop_link,
vop_rename, vop_mkdir, vop_rmdir, vop_symlink
This is initial DNA that doesn't do anything yet. VFS_VRELE is
implemented but not called.
A default vfs_vrele was created for fs implementations that use the
standard vnode management routines.
VFS_VRELE implementations were made for the following file systems:
Standard (vfs_vrele)
ffs mfs nfs msdosfs devfs ext2fs
Custom
union umapfs
Just EOPNOTSUPP
fdesc procfs kernfs portal cd9660
These implementations may change as VOP changes are implemented.
In the next phase, in the vop implementations calls to vrele and the vrele
part of vput will be moved to the top layer vfs_vnops and made visible
to all layers. vput will be replaced by unlock in these cases. Unlocking
will still be done in the per fs layer but the refcount decrement will be
triggered at the top because it doesn't hurt to hold a vnode reference a
little longer. This will have minimal impact on the structure of the
existing code.
This will only be done for vnode arguments that are released by the various
fs vop implementations.
Wider use of VFS_VRELE will likely require restructuring of the code.
