was still possible to open for write from the lower filesystem. There
is a symmetric situation where the binary could already has file
descriptors opened for write, but it can be executed from the nullfs
overlay.
Handle the issue by passing one v_writecount reference to the lower
vnode if nullfs vnode has non-zero v_writecount. Note that only one
write reference can be donated, since nullfs only keeps one use
reference on the lower vnode. Always use the lower vnode v_writecount
for the checks.
Introduce the VOP_GET_WRITECOUNT to read v_writecount, which is
currently always bypassed to the lower vnode, and VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT
to manipulate the v_writecount value, which manages a single bypass
reference to the lower vnode. Caling the VOPs instead of directly
accessing v_writecount provide the fix described in the previous
paragraph.

If you have a binary on a filesystem which is also mounted over by
nullfs, you could execute the binary from the lower filesystem, or
from the nullfs mount. When executed from lower filesystem, the lower
vnode gets VV_TEXT flag set, and the file cannot be modified while the
binary is active. But, if executed as the nullfs alias, only the
nullfs vnode gets VV_TEXT set, and you still can open the lower vnode
for write.
Add a set of VOPs for the VV_TEXT query, set and clear operations,
which are correctly bypassed to lower vnode.

operations for setting and accessing vnode's v_socket field.
The operations are necessary to implement proper unix socket handling
on layered file systems like nullfs(5).
This change fixes the long standing issue with nullfs(5) being in that
unix sockets did not work between lower and upper layers: if we bound
to a socket on the lower layer we could connect only to the lower
path; if we bound to the upper layer we could connect only to the
upper path. The new behavior is one can connect to both the lower and
the upper paths regardless what layer path one binds to.

madvise(2) except that it operates on a file descriptor instead of a
memory region. It is currently only supported on regular files.
Just as with madvise(2), the advice given to posix_fadvise(2) can be
divided into two types. The first type provide hints about data access
patterns and are used in the file read and write routines to modify the
I/O flags passed down to VOP_READ() and VOP_WRITE(). These modes are
thus filesystem independent. Note that to ease implementation (and
since this API is only advisory anyway), only a single non-normal
range is allowed per file descriptor.
The second type of hints are used to hint to the OS that data will or
will not be used. These hints are implemented via a new VOP_ADVISE().
A default implementation is provided which does nothing for the WILLNEED
request and attempts to move any clean pages to the cache page queue for
the DONTNEED request. This latter case required two other changes.
First, a new V_CLEANONLY flag was added to vinvalbuf(). This requests
vinvalbuf() to only flush clean buffers for the vnode from the buffer
cache and to not remove any backing pages from the vnode. This is
used to ensure clean pages are not wired into the buffer cache before
attempting to move them to the cache page queue. The second change adds
a new vm_object_page_cache() method. This method is somewhat similar to
vm_object_page_remove() except that instead of freeing each page in the
specified range, it attempts to move clean pages to the cache queue if
possible.
To preserve the ABI of struct file, the f_cdevpriv pointer is now reused
in a union to point to the currently active advice region if one is
present for regular files.

filesystem supports additional operations using shared vnode locks.
Currently this is used to enable shared locks for open() and close() of
read-only file descriptors.
- When an ISOPEN namei() request is performed with LOCKSHARED, use a
shared vnode lock for the leaf vnode only if the mount point has the
extended shared flag set.
- Set LOCKSHARED in vn_open_cred() for requests that specify O_RDONLY but
not O_CREAT.
- Use a shared vnode lock around VOP_CLOSE() if the file was opened with
O_RDONLY and the mountpoint has the extended shared flag set.
- Adjust md(4) to upgrade the vnode lock on the vnode it gets back from
vn_open() since it now may only have a shared vnode lock.
- Don't enable shared vnode locks on FIFO vnodes in ZFS and UFS since
FIFO's require exclusive vnode locks for their open() and close()
routines. (My recent MPSAFE patches for UDF and cd9660 already included
this change.)
- Enable extended shared operations on UFS, cd9660, and UDF.

user-mode lock manager, build a kernel with the NFSLOCKD option and
add '-k' to 'rpc_lockd_flags' in rc.conf.
Highlights include:
* Thread-safe kernel RPC client - many threads can use the same RPC
client handle safely with replies being de-multiplexed at the socket
upcall (typically driven directly by the NIC interrupt) and handed
off to whichever thread matches the reply. For UDP sockets, many RPC
clients can share the same socket. This allows the use of a single
privileged UDP port number to talk to an arbitrary number of remote
hosts.
* Single-threaded kernel RPC server. Adding support for multi-threaded
server would be relatively straightforward and would follow
approximately the Solaris KPI. A single thread should be sufficient
for the NLM since it should rarely block in normal operation.
* Kernel mode NLM server supporting cancel requests and granted
callbacks. I've tested the NLM server reasonably extensively - it
passes both my own tests and the NFS Connectathon locking tests
running on Solaris, Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux.
* Userland NLM client supported. While the NLM server doesn't have
support for the local NFS client's locking needs, it does have to
field async replies and granted callbacks from remote NLMs that the
local client has contacted. We relay these replies to the userland
rpc.lockd over a local domain RPC socket.
* Robust deadlock detection for the local lock manager. In particular
it will detect deadlocks caused by a lock request that covers more
than one blocking request. As required by the NLM protocol, all
deadlock detection happens synchronously - a user is guaranteed that
if a lock request isn't rejected immediately, the lock will
eventually be granted. The old system allowed for a 'deferred
deadlock' condition where a blocked lock request could wake up and
find that some other deadlock-causing lock owner had beaten them to
the lock.
* Since both local and remote locks are managed by the same kernel
locking code, local and remote processes can safely use file locks
for mutual exclusion. Local processes have no fairness advantage
compared to remote processes when contending to lock a region that
has just been unlocked - the local lock manager enforces a strict
first-come first-served model for both local and remote lockers.

I'm not sure why a credential was added to these in the first place, it is

The credentials for syncing a file (ability to write to the

Credentials for syncing one or more filesystems ("none")

If the filesystem implementation needs a particular credential
to carry out the syncing it would logically have to the
