dholland | Revise/update. List the functions in a sensible order. Document all
the modes and flags. Document the structure fields properly.
Distinguish internals from public interfaces. Mention historic dead
flags like SAVESTART because they still exist in other projects.
Explain the current layout of vfs_lookup.c, or at least the primary
points of it.
Etc.
This ended up being a much larger rewrite than I intended.
Bump date again.

dholland | Document NDAT(), and while here update some of the now-outdated
material in the namei man page. There's quite a bit more to be done.
|
| 1.28 |
| 05-Nov-2012 |
dholland | These two man pages contain complete cut and paste copies of struct
componentname and/or struct nameidata. Update the copies, for both
today's changes and a number of earlier changes too.
|

Remove boilerplate in CODE REFERENCES on file paths.

| 19-Nov-2010 |
dholland | bump date for previous (thanks jnemeth)
|
| 1.25 |
| 19-Nov-2010 |
dholland | Introduce struct pathbuf. This is an abstraction to hold a pathname
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.

wiz | Bump date for today's changes.
|
| 1.23 |
| 27-Sep-2009 |
dholland | Move a big wodge of symlink-following code from nfsd to inside
lookup_for_nfsd(). This code is, or at least should be, the same as
the regular symlink-following code plus an extra flag nfsd needs.
The two lots of code can/will be merged in the future.
|
| 1.22 |
| 27-Sep-2009 |
dholland | Rename lookup() to lookup_for_nfsd(), to make it clear just whose
private backdoor entry point this is.
Also, clone the lookup_for_nfsd() entry point as
lookup_for_nfsd_index(), for use by a different call site in nfsd that
does different unclean things with nameidata.

chs | a smorgasbord of improvements to vnode locking and path lookup:
- 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().

difficult to read and understand. Most manuals of English style
