The following reply was made to PR kern/51583; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Brian Buchanan <bwb@holo.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/51583: [PATCH] allow to work with devices and sockets over nullfs [STABLE, 5.0-CURRENT] Date: Sun, 1 Aug 2004 14:33:55 -0700 (PDT) The reason it fails in case #3 is that vp->v_socket is being set on the upper layer by unp_bind(), but not on the lower layer, because that code is ignorant of filesystem layering. I'm not sure what the best fix is for this. Is it acceptable to have null_lookup simply return the lower vnode when it's of type VSOCK, or would that break something else?
