Find enclosed a short bugfix to get the union filesystem up and running
in FreeBSD-current. We don't think we've got all the problems yet but
these fixes sort out the major ones (which mostly concert bad locking
of vnodes), no doubt we'll post others as necessary. Known problems
include the inability of the umount command (not the system call) to unmount
unions in certain circumstances (this is due the way "realpath" works),
and the failure of direntries to always get all available files in
unioned subdirectories. We are, as they say, working on it.

a clist return with an error. There are some clist starvation/deadlock
bugs elsewhere and killing clist hogs didn't help because the breaks
only exited from the inner loops.
Cosmetic.
Return from trap() if trap_fatal() returns. trap_fatal() isn't
fatal if you have ddb. Returning from trap() is usually the right
thing to do and much better than falling through.
and all SCSI devices (except that it's not done quite the way I want). New
information added includes:
- A text description of the device
- A ``state''---unknown, unconfigured, idle, or busy
- A generic parent device (with support in the m.i. code)
- An interrupt mask type field (which will hopefully go away) so that
. ``doconfig'' can be written
This requires a new version of the `lsdev' program as well (next commit).
A word of wisdom, don't do this:
| cd /usr/bin
| for i in *
| do
| cp $i /tmp/a
| gzip -9 < /tmp/a > $i
| done
It will compress files with multiple links several times. do it this way:
| cd /usr/bin
| for i in *
| do
| gunzip -f < $i > /tmp/a
| gzip -9 < /tmp/a > $i
| done
For it to be useful, you must stick your disklabel on the partition which
starts where the MBR says FreeBSD lives. If you don't do that, you might
get a bad day.
Oh, that probably also means that putting swap there is a bad idea...
- excise some unused code (#if 0'd out - don't want to nuke it yet)
- fix problems with "make depend" - some macros were screwing it up
- get rid of some static local variables
There still seems to be a small reentrancy problem somewhere.
pmap.c: tons of unused vars zapped, various other warnings silenced.
trap.c: unused vars zapped.
vm_machdep.c: A wrong argument, which by chance did the right thing, was
corrected.
