GETATTRs being generated - one from lookup()/namei() and the other
from nfs_open() (for cto consistency). This change eliminates the
GETATTR in nfs_open() if an otw GETATTR was done from the namei()
path. Instead of extending the vop interface, we timestamp each attr
load, and use this to detect whether a GETATTR was done from namei()
for this syscall. Introduces a thread-local variable that counts the
syscalls made by the thread and uses <pid, tid, thread syscalls> as
the attrload timestamp. Thanks to jhb@ and peter@ for a discussion on
thread state that could be used as the timestamp with minimal overhead.
adds a FS type specific flag indicating that the FS supports shared
vnode lock lookups, adds some logic in vfs_lookup.c to test this flag
and set lock flags appropriately.
- amd on 6.x is a non-starter (without this change). Using amd under
heavy load results in a deadlock (with cascading vnode locks all the
way to the root) very quickly.
- This change should also fix the more general problem of cascading
vnode deadlocks when an NFS server goes down.
Ideally, we wouldn't need these changes, as enabling shared vnode lock
lookups globally would work. Unfortunately, UFS, for example isn't
ready for shared vnode lock lookups, crashing pretty quickly.
This change is the result of discussions with Stephan Uphoff (ups@).

Replace the entire vop_t frobbing thing with properly typed

Remove a lot of vfs_init since vop_vector is ready to use

Cast various vop_mumble() to void * with uppercase name,

Implement VCALL() by making vdesc_offset the offsetof() the
relevant function pointer in vop_vector. This is disgusting
but since the code is generated by a script comparatively
safe. The alternative for nullfs etc. would be much worse.
Fix up all vnode method vectors to remove casts so they

Eliminate other uses of bp->b_vp where bp->b_bufobj will do.

use new function declarations, TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE() etc.
Add bufobj_wref(), bufobj_wdrop() and bufobj_wwait() to handle the write

Use these functions all relevant places except in ffs_softdep.c where

our cached 'next vnode' being removed from this mountpoint. If we
find that it was recycled, we restart our traversal from the start
of the list.
Code to do that is in all local disk filesystems (and a few other
places) and looks roughly like this:
MNT_ILOCK(mp);
loop:
for (vp = TAILQ_FIRST(&mp...);
(vp = nvp) != NULL;
nvp = TAILQ_NEXT(vp,...)) {
if (vp->v_mount != mp)
goto loop;
MNT_IUNLOCK(mp);
...
MNT_ILOCK(mp);
}
MNT_IUNLOCK(mp);
The code which takes vnodes off a mountpoint looks like this:
MNT_ILOCK(vp->v_mount);
...
TAILQ_REMOVE(&vp->v_mount->mnt_nvnodelist, vp, v_nmntvnodes);
...
MNT_IUNLOCK(vp->v_mount);
...
vp->v_mount = something;
(Take a moment and try to spot the locking error before you read on.)
On a SMP system, one CPU could have removed nvp from our mountlist
but not yet gotten to assign a new value to vp->v_mount while another
CPU simultaneously get to the top of the traversal loop where it
finds that (vp->v_mount != mp) is not true despite the fact that
the vnode has indeed been removed from our mountpoint.
Fix:
Introduce the macro MNT_VNODE_FOREACH() to traverse the list of
vnodes on a mountpoint while taking into account that vnodes may
be removed from the list as we go. This saves approx 65 lines of
duplicated code.
Split the insmntque() which potentially moves a vnode from one mount
point to another into delmntque() and insmntque() which does just
what the names say.
Fix delmntque() to set vp->v_mount to NULL while holding the
mountpoint lock.
The big lines are:
NODEV -> NULL
NOUDEV -> NODEV
udev_t -> dev_t
udev2dev() -> findcdev()
Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.
This avoids presenting invalid data to the client's applications
when the file is modified, and then extended within the window of
the resolution of the modifcation timestamp.

temporary storage. In the old NFS code it wasn't at all clear if
the value of `tl' was used across or after macro calls, but I'm
fairly confident that the convention was to keep its use local.
Each ex-macro function now uses a local version of this variable,
so all of the double-indirection goes away.
The only exception to the `local use' rule for `tl' is nfsm_clget(),
which is left unchanged by this commit.

fashion. These macros will allow us to test fine-grained locks to a degree
before removing Giant, and also after, and to remove Giant in a piecemeal
fashion via sysctl's on those subsystems which the authors believe can
operate without Giant.

This is because calls with M_WAIT (now M_TRYWAIT) may not wait
forever when nothing is available for allocation, and may end up
returning NULL. Hopefully we now communicate more of the right thing
to developers and make it very clear that it's necessary to check whether
calls with M_(TRY)WAIT also resulted in a failed allocation.
M_TRYWAIT basically means "try harder, block if necessary, but don't
necessarily wait forever." The time spent blocking is tunable with
the kern.ipc.mbuf_wait sysctl.
M_WAIT is now deprecated but still defined for the next little while.
* Fix a typo in a comment in mbuf.h
* Fix some code that was actually passing the mbuf subsystem's M_WAIT to
malloc(). Made it pass M_WAITOK instead. If we were ever to redefine the
value of the M_WAIT flag, this could have became a big problem.
mail:
The problem seems to originate with NFS's postop_attr
information that is returned with a read or write RPC.
Within a vm_fault context, the code cannot deal with
vnode_pager_setsize() shrinking a vnode.
The workaround in the patch below stops the nfsm_postop_attr()
macro from ever shrinking a vnode. If the new size in the
postop_attr information is smaller, then it just sets the
nfsnode n_attrstamp to 0 to stop the wrong size getting
used in the future. This change only affects postop_attr
attributes; the nfsm_loadattr() macro works as normal.
The change is implemented by adding a new argument to
nfs_loadattrcache() called 'dontshrink'. When this is
non-zero, nfs_loadattrcache() will never reduce the
vnode/nfsnode size; instead it zeros n_attrstamp.
There remain other was processes can get stuck in vmopar.
