CVS commit: src/sys/kern

[Antti Kantee <pooka%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   pooka

Modified Files:
        src/sys/kern: vfs_syscalls.c

Log Message:
Fix reference counting for vfsops in mount.  Otherwise it's possible
(for an unprivileged user) to force vfs modules to remain loaded
forever.  Also, it's possible for an admin with fat fingers to have
to curse out loud (a lot) and reboot.

.. or at least fix things as much as seems to be possible without
involving 1000 zorkmids.  do_sys_mount() takes either struct vfsops
(which hopefully came properly referenced) or a userspace string
for file system type.  The standard in-kernel calling convention
of "do_sys_mount(l, vfs_getopsbyname("nfs"), NULL," is not to be
considered healthy, kosher, or even tasty (although if vfs_getopsbyname()
fails the whole thing *currently* fails without the program counter
pointing to hyperspace).
