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.
the earlier change caused data corruption by freeing pages
without invaliding their mappings. instead of the trylock/retry,
just take the genfs-node lock before calling VOP_GETPAGES()
and pass a new flag to tell it that we're already holding this lock.
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.
Discussed on tech-kern.

get POGA'd(*) again.
This plugs componentname leaks in at least smbfs and buggy puffs
servers (buggy servers shouldn't be able to leak kernel memory).
*) principle of greatest astonishment
the other routines of the same spirit.
Adjust file-system code to use it.
Keep vaccess() for KPI compatibility and to keep element of least
surprise. A "diagnostic" message warning that vaccess() is deprecated will
be printed when it's used (obviously, only in DIAGNOSTIC kernels).

The vnode is always expected to be locked, so no locking is done outside
the file-system code.
need to understand the locking around that field. Instead of setting
B_ERROR, set b_error instead. b_error is 'owned' by whoever completes
the I/O request.
function that does the work, genfs_do_putpages(), now takes as an argument
a pointer to the page that would be waited on, if PGO_BUSYWAIT were not set.
This allows a consumer, e.g. lfs_putpages(), to perform an action outside
the scope of UVM before sleeping on the page in question.
The suspension helpers are now put into file system specific operations.
This means every file system not supporting these helpers cannot be suspended
and therefore snapshots are no longer possible.
Implemented for file systems of type ffs.
The new API is enabled on a kernel option NEWVNGATE. This option is
not enabled by default in any kernel config.
Presented and discussed on tech-kern with much input from
Bill Studenmund <wrstuden@netbsd.org> and YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt@netbsd.org>.
Welcome to 4.99.9 (new vfs op vfs_suspendctl).
unlocked instead of locked. chuq agrees
* use slock set to &uobj->vmobjlock also for the last simple lock
operation to be consistent with the rest of the function
vnodes were synced and processed backwards. This meant that the last
accessed node was processed first and the earlierst last.
An extra benefit is the removal of the ugly hack from the Berkly days on
LFS.
In the proces, i've also replaced the various variations hand written loops
by the TAILQ_FOREACH() macro's.
