Modified files:
sys/kern vfs_mount.c
Log:
For nmount(), allow a text string error message to be propagated back
to user-space if a parameter named "errmsg" is passed into the iovec.
Used in conjunction with vfs_mount_error(), more useful error messages
than errno can be passed back to userspace when mounting a filesystem
fails.
Discussed with: phk, pjd
Revision Changes Path
1.199 +37 -2 src/sys/kern/vfs_mount.c
While I don't have ideas for a better general mechanism for this, I
think it sets a bad precedent. We can't have every complex syscall
transporting its own error message strings back to the user program.
And we can't expand errno to be the union of every single API-specific
error either.

Is iov_len >= strlen(iov_errmsg->iov_base)? If not, it won't copy the
terminating NUL. Also, if iov_len is big, strncpy wastes time
zero-filling the tail. Perhaps use strlcpy instead.
