The typedef mbuf_t was used for the Mac OS/X port of the code long ago.
Since this port is no longer used and the use of mbuf_t obscures what
the code does (and is not consistent with style(9)), it is no longer needed.
This patch replaces all instances of mbuf_t with "struct mbuf *", so that
it is no longer used.
This patch should not result in any semantic change.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

- Introduce additional hash to group requests by hash of sockref. This
allows to process TCP acknowledgements without looping though all the cache,
and as result allows to do it every time.
- Indroduce additional callbacks to notify application layer about sockets
disconnection. Without this last few requests processed just before socket
disconnection never processed their ACKs and stuck in cache for many hours.
- Implement transport-specific method for tracking reply acknowledgements.
New implementation does not cross multiple stack layers to get the data and
does not have race conditions that previously made some requests stuck
in cache. This could be done more efficiently at sockbuf layer, but that
would broke some KBIs, while I don't know other consumers for it aside NFS.
- Instead of traversing all DRC twice per request, run cleaning only once
per request, and except in some conditions traverse only single hash slot
at a time.
Together this limits NFS DRC growth only to situations of real connectivity
problems. If network is working well, and so all replies are acknowledged,
cache remains almost empty even after hours of heavy load. Without this
change on the same test cache was growing to many thousand requests even
with perfectly working local network.
As another result this reduces CPU time spent on the DRC handling during
SPEC NFS benchmark from about 10% to 0.5%.

DRC for NFS over TCP.
- Increase the size of the hash tables.
- Create a separate mutex for each hash list of the TCP hash table.
- Single thread the code that deletes stale cache entries.
- Add a tunable called vfs.nfsd.tcphighwater, which can be increased
to allow the cache to grow larger, avoiding the overhead of frequent
scans to delete stale cache entries.
(The default value will result in frequent scans to delete stale cache
entries, analagous to what the pre-patched code does.)
- Add a tunable called vfs.nfsd.cachetcp that can be used to disable
DRC caching for NFS over TCP, since the old NFS server didn't DRC cache TCP.
It also adjusts the size of nfsrc_floodlevel dynamically, so that it is
always greater than vfs.nfsd.tcphighwater.
For UDP the algorithm remains the same as the pre-patched code, but the
tunable vfs.nfsd.udphighwater can be used to allow the cache to grow
larger and reduce the overhead caused by frequent scans for stale entries.
UDP also uses a larger hash table size than the pre-patched code.

support for NFSv4 as well as NFSv2 and 3.
It lives in 3 subdirs under sys/fs:
nfs - functions that are common to the client and server
nfsclient - a mutation of sys/nfsclient that call generic functions
to do RPCs and handle state. As such, it retains the
buffer cache handling characteristics and vnode semantics that
are found in sys/nfsclient, for the most part.
nfsserver - the server. It includes a DRC designed specifically for
NFSv4, that is used instead of the generic DRC in sys/rpc.
The build glue will be checked in later, so at this point, it
consists of 3 new subdirs that should not affect kernel building.
