kern/38135: vfs_busy/vfs_trybusy confusion
>Number: 38135
>Category: kern
>Synopsis: vfs_busy/vfs_trybusy confusion
>Confidential: no
>Severity: non-critical
>Priority: medium
>Responsible: kern-bug-people
>State: open
>Class: sw-bug
>Submitter-Id: net
>Arrival-Date: Sun Mar 02 10:20:00 +0000 2008
>Originator: Andrew Doran
>Release: 5.99.55
>Organization:
The NetBSD Project
>Environment:
n/a
>Description:
In some places we do vfs_trybusy(), e.g. when getting mount status.
Other threads can have the mount write locked, causing innocuous
operations to fail when they shouldn't.
>How-To-Repeat:
Code inspection.
>Fix:
Review all uses of vfs_busy+vfs_trybusy and/or consider not failing
vfs_trybusy unless the mount is gone or unmount is in progress.
