# XXX - the lookup locking protocol defies simple description.
# Note especially that *vpp may equal dvp.
#
# More details:
# There are three types of lookups: ".", ".." (ISDOTDOT), and other.
# On successful lookup of ".", a reference is added to dvp, and it
# is returned in *vpp.
# To look up ISDOTDOT, dvp is unlocked, the ".." node is locked, and
# then dvp is relocked. This preserves the protocol of always
# locking nodes from root ("/") downward and prevents deadlock.
# Other lookups find the named node (creating the vnode if needed) and
# return it, locked, in *vpp.
# All lookups find the named node (creating the vnode if needed) and
# return it, referenced and unlocked, in *vpp.
# On failure, *vpp is NULL, and *dvp is left locked.
#
# *vpp is always locked on return if the operation succeeds.
# Typically, if *vpp == dvp, you need to release twice, but
# unlock only once.
