The filesystem ones all call genfs_eopnotsupp - right now I am only
implementing the plumbing and we can implement fallocate and/or
fdiscard for files later.
The device ones call spec_fallocate (which is also genfs_eopnotsupp)
and spec_fdiscard, which dispatches to the device-level op.
The fifo ones all call vn_fifo_bypass, which also ends up being
EOPNOTSUPP.
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.

Unfortunately there is a complicated include file loop which

This uglifies the interface, because several operations need to be
passed the namei flags and cache_lookup also needs for the time being
to be passed cnp->cn_nameiop. Nonetheless, it's a net benefit.
The glop should be able to go away eventually but requires structural
cleanup elsewhere first.
This change requires a kernel bump.
- Move the namecache's hash computation to inside the namecache code,
instead of being spread out all over the place. Remove cn_hash from
struct componentname and delete all uses of it.
- It is no longer necessary (if it ever was) for cache_lookup and
cache_lookup_raw to clear MAKEENTRY from cnp->cn_flags for the cases
that cache_enter already checks for.
- Rearrange the interface of cache_lookup (and cache_lookup_raw) to
make it somewhat simpler, to exclude certain nonexistent error
conditions, and (most importantly) to make it not require write access
to cnp->cn_flags.
This change requires a kernel bump.
To make code in 'external' (etc) still compile, MALLOC_DECLARE() still
has to generate something of type 'struct malloc_type *', with
normal optimisation gcc generates a compile-time 0.
MALLOC_DEFINE() and friends have no effect.
Fix one or two places where the code would no longer compile.

- 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.

and the metadata required to interpret it. Callers of namei must now
create a pathbuf and pass it to NDINIT (instead of a string and a
uio_seg), then destroy the pathbuf after the namei session is
complete.
Update all namei call sites accordingly. Add a pathbuf(9) man page and
update namei(9).
The pathbuf interface also now appears in a couple of related
additional places that were passing string/uio_seg pairs that were
later fed into NDINIT. Update other call sites accordingly.

The vnode is always expected to be locked, so no locking is done outside
the file-system code.

The LP_UFSCOW hack is no longer needed to protect ffs_copyonwrite() against
endless recursion.
- Add a flag B_MODIFY to bread(), breada() and breadn(). If set the caller
intends to modify the buffer returned.
- Always run copy-on-write on buffers returned from ffs_balloc().
- Add new function ffs_getblk() that gets a buffer, assigns a new blkno,
may clear the buffer and runs copy-on-write. Process possible errors
from getblk() or fscow_run(). Part of PR kern/38664.

Make VFS hooks dynamic while we're here and say farewell to VFS_ATTACH and

As a consequence, most of the file systems can now be loaded as new style

The general trend is to remove it from all kernel interfaces and
this is a start. In case the calling lwp is desired, curlwp should
