star for me. EVENTHANDLER_DEREGISTER() attempts to acquire the lock which is
held by the event handler framework while executing event handler functions,
leading to deadlock.
Move EVENTHANDLER_DEREGISTER() to alq_load_handler() and thus deregister the ALQ
shutdown_pre_sync handler at module unload time, which takes care of the
originally reported panic and fixes the deadlock introduced in r250951.

In particular, do not lock Giant conditionally when calling into the
filesystem module, remove the VFS_LOCK_GIANT() and related
macros. Stop handling buffers belonging to non-mpsafe filesystems.
The VFS_VERSION is bumped to indicate the interface change which does
not result in the interface signatures changes.

things allows variable length messages to be easily supported.
- Extend KPI with alq_writen() and alq_getn() to support variable length
messages, which is enabled at ALQ creation time depending on the
arguments passed to alq_open(). Also add variants of alq_open() and
alq_post() that accept a flags argument. The KPI is still fully
backwards compatible and shouldn't require any change in ALQ consumers
unless they wish to utilise the new features.
- Introduce the ALQ_NOACTIVATE and ALQ_ORDERED flags to allow ALQ consumers
to have more control over IO scheduling and resource acquisition
respectively.
- Strengthen invariants checking.
- Document ALQ changes in ALQ(9) man page.

vn_open_cred invocations shall not audit namei path.
In particular, specify VN_OPEN_NOAUDIT for dotdot lookup performed by
default implementation of vop_vptocnp, and for the open done for core
file. vn_fullpath is called from the audit code, and vn_open there need
to disable audit to avoid infinite recursion. Core file is created on
return to user mode, that, in particular, happens during syscall return.
The creation of the core file is audited by direct calls, and we do not
want to overwrite audit information for syscall.

Since our new NFSv4 client and server can't use it for their
requirements, GC the old mechanism, as well as other unused lease-
related code and interfaces.
Due to its impact on kernel programming and binary interfaces, this
change should not be MFC'd.

particular remove an annoying dependence helping next lockmgr() cleanup.
KPI results, obviously, changed.

As a side note, would be valuable to say that next commits will address
a similar cleanup about VFS methods, in particular vop_lock1 and
vop_unlock.

from Mac OS X Leopard--rationalize naming for entry points to
the following general forms:
mac_<object>_<method/action>
mac_<object>_check_<method/action>
The previous naming scheme was inconsistent and mostly
reversed from the new scheme. Also, make object types more
consistent and remove spaces from object types that contain
multiple parts ("posix_sem" -> "posixsem") to make mechanical
parsing easier. Introduce a new "netinet" object type for
certain IPv4/IPv6-related methods. Also simplify, slightly,
some entry point names.
All MAC policy modules will need to be recompiled, and modules
not updates as part of this commit will need to be modified to
conform to the new KPI.
