kern_execve() locks text vnode exclusive to be able to set and clear VV_TEXT flag. VV_TEXT is mutually exclusive with the v_writecount > 0 condition. The change removes VV_TEXT, replacing it with the condition v_writecount <= -1, and puts v_writecount under the vnode interlock. Each text reference decrements v_writecount. To clear the text reference when the segment is unmapped, it is recorded in the vm_map_entry backed by the text file as MAP_ENTRY_VN_TEXT flag, and v_writecount is incremented on the map entry removal The operations like VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT() and VOP_SET_TEXT() check that v_writecount does not contradict the desired change. vn_writecheck() is now racy and its use was eliminated everywhere except access. Atomic check for writeability and increment of v_writecount is performed by the VOP. vn_truncate() now increments v_writecount around VOP_SETATTR() call, lack of which is arguably a bug on its own. nullfs bypasses v_writecount to the lower vnode always, so nullfs vnode has its own v_writecount correct, and lower vnode gets all references, since object->handle is always lower vnode. On the text vnode' vm object dealloc, the v_writecount value is reset to zero, and deadfs vop_unset_text short-circuit the operation. Reclamation of lowervp always reclaims all nullfs vnodes referencing lowervp first, so no stray references are left.

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
