[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2276] umount mfs crash - Fatal trap 12

[Venkatesh Srinivas via Redmine]

Issue #2276 has been updated by Venkatesh Srinivas.


Here's the problem:

MFS's mfs_start() routine is not like other filesystems; the userland mount_mfs enters the mfs_start routine and processes copyin/copyout requests to transfer data into its userland mmap-ed region. When it returns after either being signalled or the filesystem being unmounted, the mount structure is not valid.

Unfortunately, sys_unmount() already kfree-d the mount structure; both the accounting init and MPUNLOCK(mp) in vfs_vfsops.c:vfs_start() are not safe; they are accessing the mountpoint after it is freed.
