Can we use vnode lock to guarantee liveness of the v_rdev read ? This is how it was intended.

Do we need to? I've looked at vn_isdisk(), and it doesn't seem to use the vnode lock.

It uses dev_mtx, same as you did, which is global and already contended mutex.

Ok, it probably would be better to do the global sweep for vn_isdisk(), finishing mjg half-done change.
