This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
* fdesc_attr(): don't panic for 'unknown' descriptor types, rather use
(*fp->f_ops->fo_stat)() hook, as for DTYPE_SOCKET and DTYPE_PIPE
XXX perhaps use different vnode type than VBAD for these?
* fdesc_setattr(): just return 0 regardless of type, rather than paniccing

between creation of a file descriptor and close(2) when using kernel
assisted threads. What we do is stick descriptors in the table, but
mark them as "larval". This causes essentially everything to treat
it as a non-existent descriptor, except for fdalloc(), which sees a
filled slot so that it won't (incorrectly) allocate it again. When
a descriptor is fully constructed, the code that has constructed it
marks it as "mature" (which actually clears the "larval" flag), and
things continue to work as normal.
While here, gather all the code that gets a descriptor from the table
into a fd_getfile() function, and call it, rather than having the
same (sometimes incorrect) code copied all over the place.
callers and appropriate routines to cope. This makes fo_stat more
consistent with rest of fileops routines and also makes the fo_stat
match FreeBSD as an added bonus.
Discussed with Luke Mewburn on tech-kern@.
setattr calls on underlying vnodes the same as sockets and just return 0.
This whole thing needs to be gutted and replaced with either fall throughs
to specfs (the attr forwarding is just bizarre and leads to weird crap like
the above truncation problems), or better yet a real cloning device node.
in vfs_detach(). vfs_done may free global filesystem's resources,
typically those allocated in respective filesystem's init function.
Needed so those filesystems which went in via LKM have a chance to
clean after themselves before unloading. This fixes random panics
when LKM for filesystem using pools was loaded and unloaded several
times.
For each leaf filesystem, add appropriate vfs_done routine.
Problem turned out to be due to improper handling of reads beyond EOF:
they should just return without error with the uio unchanged, and the
caller will recognize this as a zero-byte return (EOF).
The previous fix to protect directory reads against bogus uio_offset
values returned EINVAL, which broke mount -o union, which only
union'ed in the lower directory if the upper directory cleanly
returned EOF.
While we're here, protect kernfs as well.
call with F_FSCTL set and F_SETFL calls generate calls to a new
fileop fo_fcntl. Add genfs_fcntl() and soo_fcntl() which return 0
for F_SETFL and EOPNOTSUPP otherwise. Have all leaf filesystems
use genfs_fcntl().

Update coda to new struct lock in struct vnode.
make fdescfs, kernfs, portalfs, and procfs actually lock their vnodes.
It's not that hard.
Make unionfs set v_vnlock = NULL so any overlayed fs will call its
VOP_LOCK.
* Change the argument names to vop_link so they actually make sense.
* Implement vop_link and vop_symlink for all file systems, so they do proper
cleanup.
* Require the file system to decide whether or not linking and unlinking of
directories is allowed, and disable it for all current file systems.
