I fully approve of your changing VFS_VPTOFH to being a VOP operation. I also agree that VFS_VPTOFH should go away. Though extra work as you note, it is important `infrastructure work' to keep the interface clean. I wanted to make VPTOFH a VOP operation when I first added the VFS interface to BSD, but was pursuaded not to do so because Sun had done it as a VFS operation. The idea was to make our VFS interface as compatible to Sun's as possible because many of the BSD vendors replaced our NFS implementation with Sun's and wanted to minimize the work. Kirk McKusick
