- Drop the target's vm_map lock before calling uiomove(). We could
deadlock if inspecting /proc/curproc/map.
- If the vm_map might have changed, restart the operation, but give
up after 250 retries if the map keeps changing. XXX This is not
ideal.
P_*/L_* naming convention, and rename the in-kernel flags to avoid
conflict. (P_ -> PK_, L_ -> LW_ ). Add back the (now unused) LSDEAD
constant.
Restores source compatibility with pre-newlock2 tools like ps or top.

process we're trying to get information about through procfs, not
the caller of lookup.
fixes 'ls -l /proc/*/file' panic, which would occur when trying to
lookup "file" for a kernel thread, which doesn't have p->p_textvp.
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).
- Make procfs_control() in procfs_ctl.c static,
- Add an argument to the above, 'pfs', for the pfsnode,
- Add another request type to KAUTH_PROCESS_CANPROCFS named
KAUTH_REQ_PROCESS_CANPROCFS_CTL (and update documentation),
- Use the above combination in a call to kauth_authorize_process().
- 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().
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
First, remove process_checkioperm() calls from MD code. Similar checks
using kauth(9) routines (on the process scope, using appropriate action)
are done in the callers.
Add secmodel back-end to handle each subsystem.
using both the rawio_spec and passthru actions to detect raw disk
activity. Same for kernel memory policy.
Update documentation (no longer need to expose veriexec_rawchk()) and
remove all Veriexec-related bits from specfs.
vp->v_interlock may be unlocked twice: Once explicitly and a second time
implicilty by lockmgr. LK_INTERLOCK is cleared from the variable flags but
not from ap->a_flags which is used with lockmgr. This is not so much of a
problem because there seems to be no call site that actually uses
LK_INTERLOCK with layer_unlock or VOP_UNLOCK.
