thorpej | Overhaul of the EVFILT_VNODE kevent(2) filter:
- Centralize vnode kevent handling in the VOP_*() wrappers, rather than
forcing each individual file system to deal with it (except VOP_RENAME(),
because VOP_RENAME() is a mess and we currently have 2 different ways
of handling it; at least it's reasonably well-centralized in the "new"
way).
- Add support for NOTE_OPEN, NOTE_CLOSE, NOTE_CLOSE_WRITE, and NOTE_READ,
compatible with the same events in FreeBSD.
- Track which kevent notifications clients are interested in receiving
to avoid doing work for events no one cares about (avoiding, e.g.
taking locks and traversing the klist to send a NOTE_WRITE when
someone is merely watching for a file to be deleted, for example).
In support of the above:
- Add support in vnode_if.sh for specifying PRE- and POST-op handlers,
to be invoked before and after vop_pre() and vop_post(), respectively.
Basic idea from FreeBSD, but implemented differently.
- Add support in vnode_if.sh for specifying CONTEXT fields in the
vop_*_args structures. These context fields are used to convey information
between the file system VOP function and the VOP wrapper, but do not
occupy an argument slot in the VOP_*() call itself. These context fields
are initialized and subsequently interpreted by PRE- and POST-op handlers.
- Version VOP_REMOVE(), uses the a context field for the file system to report
back the resulting link count of the target vnode. Return this in tmpfs,
udf, nfs, chfs, ext2fs, lfs, and ufs.
