+.Dt MOUNT_NULL 8
+.Os BSD 4.4
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mount_null
+.Nd demonstrate the use of a null file system layer
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm mount_null
+.Op Fl o Ar options
+.Ar target
+.Ar mount-point
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm mount_null
+command creates a
+null layer, duplicating a sub-tree of the file system
+name space under another part of the global file system namespace.
+It is implemented using a stackable layers technique, and its
+.Do
+null-nodes
+.Dc
+stack above
+all lower-layer vnodes (not just above directory vnodes).
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl o
+Options are specified with a
+.Fl o
+flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
+See the
+.Xr mount 8
+man page for possible options and their meanings.
+.El
+.Pp
+The null layer has two purposes.
+First, it serves as a demonstration of layering by proving a layer
+which does nothing.
+Second, the null layer can serve as a prototype layer.
+Since it provides all necessary layer framework,
+new file system layers can be created very easily be starting
+with a null layer.
+.Pp
+The remainder of this man page examines the null layer as a basis
+for constructing new layers.
+.\"
+.\"
+.Sh INSTANTIATING NEW NULL LAYERS
+New null layers are created with
+.Xr mount_null 8 .
+.Xr Mount_null 8
+takes two arguments, the pathname
+of the lower vfs (target-pn) and the pathname where the null
+layer will appear in the namespace (mount-point-pn). After
+the null layer is put into place, the contents
+of target-pn subtree will be aliased under mount-point-pn.
+.\"
+.\"
+.Sh OPERATION OF A NULL LAYER
+The null layer is the minimum file system layer,
+simply bypassing all possible operations to the lower layer
+for processing there. The majority of its activity centers
+on the bypass routine, though which nearly all vnode operations
+pass.
+.Pp
+The bypass routine accepts arbitrary vnode operations for
+handling by the lower layer. It begins by examing vnode
+operation arguments and replacing any null-nodes by their
+lower-layer equivalents. It then invokes the operation
+on the lower layer. Finally, it replaces the null-nodes
+in the arguments and, if a vnode is returned by the operation,
+stacks a null-node on top of the returned vnode.
+.Pp
+Although bypass handles most operations,
+.Em vop_getattr ,
+.Em vop_inactive ,
+.Em vop_reclaim ,
+and
+.Em vop_print
+are not bypassed.
+.Em Vop_getattr
+must change the fsid being returned.
+.Em Vop_inactive
+and vop_reclaim are not bypassed so that
+they can handle freeing null-layer specific data.
+.Em Vop_print
+is not bypassed to avoid excessive debugging
+information.
+.\"
+.\"
+.Sh INSTANTIATING VNODE STACKS
+Mounting associates the null layer with a lower layer,
+in effect stacking two VFSes. Vnode stacks are instead
+created on demand as files are accessed.
+.Pp
+The initial mount creates a single vnode stack for the
+root of the new null layer. All other vnode stacks
+are created as a result of vnode operations on
+this or other null vnode stacks.
+.Pp
+New vnode stacks come into existence as a result of
+an operation which returns a vnode.
+The bypass routine stacks a null-node above the new
+vnode before returning it to the caller.
+.Pp
+For example, imagine mounting a null layer with
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+mount_null /usr/include /dev/layer/null
+.Ed
+Changing directory to
+.Pa /dev/layer/null
+will assign
+the root null-node (which was created when the null layer was mounted).
+Now consider opening
+.Pa sys .
+A vop_lookup would be
+done on the root null-node. This operation would bypass through
+to the lower layer which would return a vnode representing
+the UFS
+.Pa sys .
+Null_bypass then builds a null-node
+aliasing the UFS
+.Pa sys
+and returns this to the caller.
+Later operations on the null-node
+.Pa sys
+will repeat this
+process when constructing other vnode stacks.
+.\"
+.\"
+.Sh CREATING OTHER FILE SYSTEM LAYERS
+One of the easiest ways to construct new file system layers is to make
+a copy of the null layer, rename all files and variables, and
+then begin modifyng the copy. Sed can be used to easily rename
+all variables.
+.Pp
+The umap layer is an example of a layer descended from the
+null layer.
+.\"
+.\"
+.Sh INVOKING OPERATIONS ON LOWER LAYERS
+There are two techniques to invoke operations on a lower layer
+when the operation cannot be completely bypassed. Each method
+is appropriate in different situations. In both cases,
+it is the responsibility of the aliasing layer to make
+the operation arguments "correct" for the lower layer
+by mapping an vnode arguments to the lower layer.
+.Pp
+The first approach is to call the aliasing layer's bypass routine.
+This method is most suitable when you wish to invoke the operation
+currently being handled on the lower layer. It has the advantage
+the the bypass routine already must do argument mapping.
+An example of this is
+.Em null_getattrs
+in the null layer.
+.Pp
+A second approach is to directly invoked vnode operations on
+the lower layer with the
+.Em VOP_OPERATIONNAME
+interface.
+The advantage of this method is that it is easy to invoke
+arbitrary operations on the lower layer. The disadvantage
+is that vnodes arguments must be manually mapped.
