Subject:   Removing Giant asserts from geom
Message-ID:  <20160519105634.GO89104@kib.kiev.ua>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I propose to remove asserts
		mtx_assert(&Giant, MA_NOTOWNED);
from the geom KPI.  The asserts do not serve any purposes, at least not
in the current kernel.  They might provided some agenda in the 5.x days,
but now they only force filesystems to add cruft to satisfy GEOM KPI
requirements.

As an example, consider DROP_GIANT/PICKUP_GIANT in the ffs code. VFS is
currently Giant-free, including the mount and unmount path, UFS/FFS are
also Giant-free, but mount and unmount paths have to do the Giant dance
to allow root mount to proceed. This is because startup is executed with
the Giant owned by the thread0.

Giant asserts are even more ridiculous in the geom code since geom cdev
geom.ctl is marked as needing Giant. And there are vestiges of Giant
around calls to add geom kthreads, which is not need by KPI. Not to note
that Giant is already held there due to startup protocol.

Any objections ?
