Could you provide me with the test case which demonstrates the problem ?

The fcntl(2) prototype in sys/fcntl.h is variadic, so int arg argument
is not promoted.  On the other hand, syscalls.master declares arg as long.
Did you tried to pass -1L as third argument to disable ?

I would also add a sentence that we care about f_seqcount update in
seq_heur().

Another place to add the locking annotation is the struct file in
sys/file.h.  Now f_seqcount is 'protected' by the vnode lock.
I am not sure how to express the locking model shortly.
