SVN rev 212590 on 2010-09-14 01:28:05Z by rmacklem
MFC: r212043
Add a null_remove() function to nullfs, so that the v_usecount
of the lower level vnode is incremented to greater than 1 when
the upper level vnode's v_usecount is greater than one. This
is necessary for the NFS clients, so that they will do a silly
rename of the file instead of actually removing it when the
file is still in use. It is "racy", since the v_usecount is
incremented in many places in the kernel with
minimal synchronization, but an extraneous silly rename is
preferred to not doing a silly rename when it is required.
The only other file systems that currently check the value
of v_usecount in their VOP_REMOVE() functions are nwfs and
smbfs. These file systems choose to fail a remove when the
v_usecount is greater than 1 and I believe will function
more correctly with this patch, as well.
