the vnode operations vector for active vnodes is unsafe because it
is not known whether deadfs or the original file system will be
called.
- Pass down LK_RETRY to the lock operation (hint for deadfs only).
- Change deadfs lock operation to return ENOENT if LK_RETRY is unset.
- Change all other lock operations to check for dead vnode once
the vnode is locked and unlock and return ENOENT in this case.
With these changes in place vnode lock operations will never succeed
after vclean() has marked the vnode as VI_XLOCK and before vclean()
has changed the operations vector.

Welcome to 6.99.33
- fix writing to coda files. this is probably not the right way to do
this, but it satisfies the locking protocol:
1. Sometimes coda_open() is called with an unlocked vnode which
does not satisfy the locking protocol. Lock it for now. We
need to find out why this happens
2. VFS_VGET sometimes returns the container vnode unlocked. What
is the locking protocol for VFS_VGET? We also lock it here.
- Reorganize locking in UVM and provide extra serialisation for pmap(9).
New lock order: [vmpage-owner-lock] -> pmap-lock.
- Simplify locking in some pmap(9) modules by removing P->V locking.
- Use lock object on vmobjlock (and thus vnode_t::v_interlock) to share
the locks amongst UVM objects where necessary (tmpfs, layerfs, unionfs).
- Rewrite and optimise x86 TLB shootdown code, make it simpler and cleaner.
Add TLBSTATS option for x86 to collect statistics about TLB shootdowns.
- Unify /dev/mem et al in MI code and provide required locking (removes
kernel-lock on some ports). Also, avoid cache-aliasing issues.
Thanks to Andrew Doran and Joerg Sonnenberger, as their initial patches
formed the core changes of this branch.
pathbuf object passed to namei as work space instead. (For now a pnbuf
pointer appears in struct nameidata, to support certain unclean things
that haven't been fixed yet, but it will be going away in the future.)
This removes the need for the SAVENAME and HASBUF namei flags.
in the vnode. All LK_* flags move from sys/lock.h to sys/vnode.h. Calls
to vlockmgr() in file systems get replaced with VOP_LOCK() or VOP_UNLOCK().
Welcome to 5.99.34.
Discussed on tech-kern.
- VOP_LOCK(vp, flags): Limit the set of allowed flags to LK_EXCLUSIVE,
LK_SHARED and LK_NOWAIT. LK_INTERLOCK is no longer allowed as it
makes no sense here.
- VOP_ISLOCKED(vp): Remove the for some time unused return value
LK_EXCLOTHER. Mark this operation as "diagnostic only".
Making a lock decision based on this operation is no longer allowed.

Make VFS hooks dynamic while we're here and say farewell to VFS_ATTACH and
VFS_HOOKS_ATTACH linksets.
As a consequence, most of the file systems can now be loaded as new style
modules.
Quick sanity check by ad@.
