- Make these defines and functions private to vfs_vnode.c:
VC_MASK, VC_LOCK, DOCLOSE, VI_IANCTREDO and VI_INACTNOW
vclean() and vrelel()
- Remove the long time unused lwp argument from vrecycle().
- Remove vtryget(), it is responsible for ugly hacks and doesn't
look that effective.

Welcome to 6.99.25
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.
- 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.
vnode that may disappear before the caller has a chance to reference it.
Reference the vnode while the name cache is locked.
No objections on tech-kern.
- Don't use goto in critical paths, it can confuse the compiler.
- Sprinkle some branch hints.
- Make namecache stats per-CPU and collate once per second.
- Use vtryget().
put in the right spot. The 'next' link in the new entry must become globally
visible before the list head is updated. This could have affected systems
with weak memory ordering like the alpha.
(xxx_INIT to xxx_HEAD_INITIALIZER). Drop code which inits
non-auto (global or static) variables to 0 since that's
already implied by being non-auto. Init some static/global
cpu_simple_locks at compile time.
- LOCKPARENT is no longer relevant for lookup(), relookup() or VOP_LOOKUP().
these now always return the parent vnode locked. namei() works as before.
lookup() and various other paths no longer acquire vnode locks in the
wrong order via vrele(). fixes PR 32535.
as a nice side effect, path lookup is also up to 25% faster.
- the above allows us to get rid of PDIRUNLOCK.
- also get rid of WANTPARENT (just use LOCKPARENT and unlock it).
- remove an assumption in layer_node_find() that all file systems implement
a recursive VOP_LOCK() (unionfs doesn't).
- require that all file systems supply vfs_vptofh and vfs_fhtovp routines.
fill in eopnotsupp() for file systems that don't support being exported
and remove the checks for NULL. (layerfs calls these without checking.)
- in union_lookup1(), don't change refcounts in the ISDOTDOT case, just
adjust which vnode is locked. fixes PR 33374.
- apply fixes for ufs_rename() from ufs_vnops.c rev. 1.61 to ext2fs_rename().
want more flexible namecache handling.
it just looks up a dnlc entry and vget() the result vnode.
ie. no automatic entry removal, no automatic vnode locking.

to pool_init. Untouched pools are ones that either in arch-specific
code, or aren't initialiased during initial system startup.
Convert struct session, ucred and lockf to pools.
namely, allow following operations.
- purge only an entry specified by a component name.
- purge only child entries.
- purge only parent entries.
