Andriy Gapon 24dd1a8242 zfs: do not hold an extra reference on a root vnode while a filesystem is mounted
At present zfs_domount() acquires a reference on the filesystem's root vnode
and that reference is kept until zfs_umount.
The latter calls vflush(rootrefs = 1) to dispose of the extra reference.

There is no explanation of why that reference is kept - what problem it
solves or what behavior it improves.
Also, that logic is FreeBSD specific.

There is one real problem with that reference, though.
zfs recv -F may receive a full, non-incremental stream to a mounted filesystem.
In that case the received root object is likely to have a different z_gen
attribute value. Because of that, zfs_rezget will leave the previous root znode
and vnode disassociated from the actual object (z_sa_hdl == NULL).
Thus, future calls to VFS_ROOT() -> zfs_root() will produce a new vnode-znode
pair, while the old one will be kept alive by the outstanding reference.
So, the outstanding reference will not actually be for the new root vnode
(or, more precisely, vnodes - because a root vnode may be recycled and a newer
one can be created).
As a result, when vflush(rootrefs = 1) s called there will be two problems:

- a leaked reference on the old root vnode preventing a graceful unmount
- insufficient references on the actual root vnode leading to a crash upon
  access to the vnode after it is destroyed by vgone() + vdrop()

The second issue will actually override the first one.

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree.  See build(7)
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process.  See build(7), config(8),
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
for more information.

Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
`buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory.  GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.
