Mounting cd9660 multiple times gives EBUSY [Was: unionfs a little improvement]

[Ed Schouten]

Hi Daichi,

I think Keith Packard of Xorg once wrote a commit message along the
lines of "5000 lines of code removed, feature added" This seems to be
similar, albeit on a smaller scale. ;-)

Apart from this issue with unionfs, I am also experiencing another
issue, where for some reason I cannot perform a second mount of the CD
right after booting the system. Basically, my WIP FreeBSD boot CD does
the following (but written in C):

	mount -t cd9660 /dev/iso9660/freebsd /mnt
	mount -t tmpfs none /tmp
	mount -t unionfs /tmp /mnt
	mount -t devfs none /mnt/dev
	chroot /mnt /sbin/init

The first step fails with EBUSY. I use the following hack to get it
working, but I don't think it's the proper way to solve it:

%%%

 	*cpp = NULL;
 	bo = &vp->v_bufobj;
+#if 0
 	if (bo->bo_private != vp)
 		return (EBUSY);
+#endif
 
 	pp = g_dev_getprovider(vp->v_rdev);
 	if (pp == NULL)
%%%

I am really not that familiar with GEOM/VFS to understand the impact of
this change. What does it actually mean if bo->bo_private != vp?
