Merged all of the lockmgr functions into a single file (lock.9); as well,
some content and layout changes were made. lock.9 had existed before but was never added to Makefile, so it was never installed. That is why the duplicate files were created in the first place. Reviewed by: ru, alfred

.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The function
+The
.Fn lockinit
-is used to initialise a lock.
-It is required if locks are used.
-The function
-.Fn lockmgr
-is used to manage locks.
-The function
+function is used to initialize a lock.
+It must be called prior to any operation could be performed on a lock.
+Its arguments are:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Fa wmesg"
+.It Fa lkp
+A pointer to the lock to initialize.
+.It Fa prio
+The priority passed to
+.Xr msleep 9 .
+.It Fa wmesg
+The lock message.
+This is used for both debugging output and
+.Xr msleep 9 .
+.It Fa timo
+The timeout value passed to
+.Xr msleep 9 .
+.It Fa flags
+The flags the lock is to be initialized with.
+.Bl -tag -width ".Dv LG_CANRECURSE"
+.It Dv LK_NOWAIT
+Do not sleep while acquiring the lock.
+.It Dv LK_SLEEPFAIL
+Fail after a sleep.
+.It Dv LK_CANRECURSE
+Allow recursive exclusive locks.
+.It Dv LK_REENABLE
+Re-enable the lock after a drain.
+.It Dv LK_NOPAUSE
+Disable the spinlock while acquiring the lock.
+.It Dv LK_TIMELOCK
+Use
+.Fa timo
+during a sleep; otherwise, 0 is used.
+.El
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn lockdestroy
+function is used to destroy a lock, and while it is called in a number of
+places in the kernel, it currently does nothing.
+.Pp
+The
.Fn lockcount
-returns the number of shared lock holders on a lock.
-The function
-.Fn lockstatus
-determines the status of a lock.
+function returns a count of the number of exclusive locks and shared locks
+held against the lock
+.Fa lkp .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn lockmgr
+function handles general locking functionality within the kernel, including
+support for shared and exclusive locks, and recursion.
+.Fn lockmgr
+is also able to upgrade and downgrade locks.
.Pp
-The following values are defined:
+Its arguments are:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Fa interlkp"
+.It Fa lkp
+A pointer to the lock to manipulate.
+.It Fa flags
+Flags indicating what action is to be taken.
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv LK_EXCLUPGRADE"
.It Dv LK_SHARED
-get one of many possible shared locks.
-If a thread holding an exclusive lock requests a shared lock,
-the exclusive lock(s) will be downgraded to shared locks.
+Acquire a shared lock.
+If an exclusive lock is currently held, it will be downgraded.
.It Dv LK_EXCLUSIVE
-stop further shared locks, when they are cleared,
-grant a pending upgrade if it exists, then grant an exclusive
-lock.
-Only one exclusive lock may exist at a time, except that
-a thread holding an exclusive lock may get additional exclusive
-locks if it explicitly sets the
+Acquire an exclusive lock.
+If an exclusive lock is already held, and
.Dv LK_CANRECURSE
-flag in the lock request, or if the
-.Dv LK_CANRECURSE
-flag was set when the lock was initialized.
-.It Dv LK_UPGRADE
-the thread must hold a shared lock that it wants to
-have upgraded to an exclusive lock.
-Other threads may get exclusive access to the resource between
-the time that the upgrade is requested and the time that it is
-granted.
-.It Dv LK_EXCLUPGRADE
-the thread must hold a shared lock that it wants to
-have upgraded to an exclusive lock.
-If the request succeeds, no other thread will have gotten
-exclusive access to the resource between the time that the upgrade
-is requested and the time that it is granted.
-However, if another thread has already requested an upgrade,
-the request will fail.
+is not set, the system will
+.Xr panic 9 .
.It Dv LK_DOWNGRADE
-the thread must hold an exclusive lock that it wants
-to have downgraded to a shared lock.
-If the thread holds multiple (recursive) exclusive locks,
-they will all be downgraded to shared locks.
+Downgrade exclusive lock to a shared lock.
+Downgrading a shared lock is not permitted.
+If an exclusive lock has been recursed, all references will be downgraded.
+.It Dv LK_EXCLUPGRADE
+Upgrade a shared lock to an exclusive lock.
+Fails with
+.Er EBUSY
+if there is someone ahead of use waiting for an upgrade.
+If this call fails, the shared lock is lost.
+Attempt to upgrade an exclusive lock will cause a
+.Xr panic 9 .
+.It Dv LK_UPGRADE
+Upgrade a shared lock to an exclusive lock.
+If this call fails, the shared lock is lost.
+Attempt to upgrade an exclusive lock will cause a
+.Xr panic 9 .
.It Dv LK_RELEASE
-release one instance of a lock.
+Release the lock.
+Releasing a lock that is not held can cause a
+.Xr panic 9 .
.It Dv LK_DRAIN
-wait for all activity on the lock to end, then mark it
-decommissioned.
-This feature is used before freeing a lock that is part of a
-piece of memory that is about to be freed.
-.It Dv LK_EXCLOTHER
-return for
-.Fn lockstatus .
-Used when another thread holds the lock exclusively.
+Wait for all activity on the lock to end, then mark it decommissioned.
+This is used before freeing a lock that is part of a piece of memory that is
+about to be freed.
+(As documented in
+.Aq Pa sys/lockmgr.h . )
+.It Dv LK_SLEEPFAIL
+Fail if operation has slept.
+.It Dv LK_NOWAIT
+Do not allow the call to sleep.
+This can be used to test the lock.
+.It Dv LK_CANRECURSE
+Allow recursion on an exclusive lock.
+For every lock there must be a release.
+.It Dv LK_INTERLOCK
+Unlock the interlock (which should be locked already).
+.El
+.It Fa interlkp
+An interlock mutex for controlling group access to the lock.
+If
+.Dv LK_INTERLOCK
+is specified,
+.Fn lockmgr
+assumes
+.Fa interlkp
+is currently owned and not recursed, and will return it unlocked.
+See
+.Xr mtx_assert 9 .
+.It Fa td
+A thread responsible for this call.
+.Dv NULL
+becomes
+.Dv LK_KERNPROC .
.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn lockstatus
+function returns the status of the lock in relation to the
+.Vt thread
+passed to it.
+Note that if
+.Fa td
+is
+.Dv NULL
+and an exclusive lock is held,
+.Dv LK_EXCLUSIVE
+will be returned.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn lockmgr_printinfo
+function prints debugging information about the lock.
+It is used primarily by
+.Xr VOP_PRINT 9
+functions.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
-Successfully obtained locks return 0.
-Locks will always succeed unless one of the following is true:
+The
+.Fn lockcount
+function returns an integer greater than or equal to zero.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn lockmgr
+function returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn lockstatus
+function returns:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Dv LK_EXCLUSIVE"
+.It Dv LK_EXCLUSIVE
+An exclusive lock is held by the thread
+.Fa td .
+.It Dv LK_EXCLOTHER
+An exclusive lock is held by someone other than the thread
+.Fa td .
+.It Dv LK_SHARED
+A shared lock is held.
+.It Li 0
+The lock is not held by anyone.

+Note the
.Er ERESTART
-if system calls is to be restarted.
-Non-null lock timeout and timeout expires; returns
-.Er EWOULDBLOCK .
-A failed lock attempt always returns a non-zero error value.
-No lock is held after an error return (in particular, a failed
-.Dv LK_UPGRADE

-.Dv LK_FORCEUPGRADE
-will have released its shared

+.El
+.Sh LOCKS
+If
+.Dv LK_INTERLOCK
+is passed in the
+.Fa flags
+argument to
+.Fn lockmgr ,
+the
+.Fa interlkp
+must be held prior to calling
+.Fn lockmgr ,
+and will be returned unlocked.
+.Pp
+Upgrade attempts that fail result in the loss of the lock that
+is currently held.
+Also, it is invalid to upgrade an
+exclusive lock, and a

+will be the result of trying.
