Unfortunately, the version of the patch that I sent out isn't going to
help your problem. It needs to yield at the top of the loop, but vp isn't
necessarily valid after the wakeup from the msleep. That's a problem that
I'm having trouble figuring out a solution to - the solutions that come
to mind will all significantly increase the overhead of the loop.

I apologize for not reading the code as I am swamped, but a technique
that Matt Dillon used for bufs might work here.

Can you use a placeholder vnode as a place to restart the scan?
you might have to mark it special so that other threads/things
(getnewvnode()?) don't molest it, but it can provide for a convenient
restart point.

That was one of the solutions that I considered and rejected since it
would significantly increase the overhead of the loop.
The solution provided by Kostik Belousov that uses uio_yield looks like
a find solution. I intend to try it out on some servers RSN.

Out of curiosity's sake, why would it make the loop slower? one
would only add the placeholder when yielding, not for every iteration.

Marker is already reinserted into the list on every iteration.
