The LOR is caused by my commit into > sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_vnops.c, rev. 1.280. Is the mount lock really required, if all we're doing is a single read of a single word (mnt_kern_flags) (v_mount should be read-only for the whole lifetime of the vnode, I believe)? After all, reads of a single word are atomic on all our supported architectures. The only situation I see where there MIGHT be problems are forced unmounts, but I think there are bigger issues with those. Sorry for noticing this email only now. -- Suleiman
