I have fixed the reported problems - if you still have trouble with it, please

and server. This replaces the RPC implementation of the NFS client and
server with the newer RPC implementation originally developed
(actually ported from the userland sunrpc code) to support the NFS
Lock Manager. I have tested this code extensively and I believe it is
stable and that performance is at least equal to the legacy RPC
implementation.
The NFS code currently contains support for both the new RPC
implementation and the older legacy implementation inherited from the
original NFS codebase. The default is to use the new implementation -
add the NFS_LEGACYRPC option to fall back to the old code. When I
merge this support back to RELENG_7, I will probably change this so
that users have to 'opt in' to get the new code.
To use RPCSEC_GSS on either client or server, you must build a kernel
which includes the KGSSAPI option and the crypto device. On the
userland side, you must build at least a new libc, mountd, mount_nfs
and gssd. You must install new versions of /etc/rc.d/gssd and
/etc/rc.d/nfsd and add 'gssd_enable=YES' to /etc/rc.conf.
As long as gssd is running, you should be able to mount an NFS
filesystem from a server that requires RPCSEC_GSS authentication. The
mount itself can happen without any kerberos credentials but all
access to the filesystem will be denied unless the accessing user has
a valid ticket file in the standard place (/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>). There
is currently no support for situations where the ticket file is in a
different place, such as when the user logged in via SSH and has
delegated credentials from that login. This restriction is also
present in Solaris and Linux. In theory, we could improve this in
future, possibly using Brooks Davis' implementation of variant
symlinks.
Supporting RPCSEC_GSS on a server is nearly as simple. You must create
service creds for the server in the form 'nfs/<fqdn>@<REALM>' and
install them in /etc/krb5.keytab. The standard heimdal utility ktutil
makes this fairly easy. After the service creds have been created, you
can add a '-sec=krb5' option to /etc/exports and restart both mountd
and nfsd.
The only other difference an administrator should notice is that nfsd
doesn't fork to create service threads any more. In normal operation,
there will be two nfsd processes, one in userland waiting for TCP
connections and one in the kernel handling requests. The latter
process will create as many kthreads as required - these should be
visible via 'top -H'. The code has some support for varying the number
of service threads according to load but initially at least, nfsd uses
a fixed number of threads according to the value supplied to its '-n'
option.

forward cases by converting from unconditional acquisition of Giant
around vnode operations to conditional acquisition:
- Remove nfsrv_access_withgiant(), and cause nfsrv_access() to now
assert that Giant will be held if it is required for the vnode.
- Add nfsrv_fhtovp_locked(), which will drop the NFS server lock if
required, and modify nfsrv_fhtovp() to conditionally acquire
Giant if required.
- In the VOP's not dealing with more than one vnode at a time (i.e.,
not involving a lookup), conditionally acquire Giant.
This removes Giant use for MPSAFE file systems for a number of quite
important RPCs, including getattr, read, write. It leaves
unconditional Giant acquisitions in vnode operations that interact
with the name space or more than one vnode at a time as these
require further work.

to see if additional write requests will arrive that can be coalesced and
clustered with earlier ones. When doing so, it must determine whether
the two requests are made by credentials with the same access writes, so
as not to coalesce improperly. NFSW_SAMECRED() implements a test of two
credentials using a binary compare.
Replace NFSW_SAMECRED() macro with nfsrv_samecred() function, which is
aware of the contents and layout of a struct ucred, rather than a simple
binary compare. While the binary compare works when ucred is simply a
zero'd and embedded 'struct ucred' in the NFS descriptor, it will work
less well when the ucred associated with an NFS descriptor is "real", so
has defined and populated reference count, mutex, etc.

mechanism so that early processing on mbufs can be performed before
a context switch to the NFS server threads. Because of this, if
the socket code is running without Giant, the NFS server also needs
to be able to run the upcall code without relying on the presence on
Giant. This change modifies the NFS server to run using a "giant
code lock" covering operation of the whole subsystem. Work is in
progress to move to data-based locking as part of the NFSv4 server
changes.
Introduce an NFS server subsystem lock, 'nfsd_mtx', and a set of
macros to operate on the lock:
NFSD_LOCK_ASSERT() Assert nfsd_mtx owned by current thread
NFSD_UNLOCK_ASSERT() Assert nfsd_mtx not owned by current thread
NFSD_LOCK_DONTCARE() Advisory: this function doesn't care
NFSD_LOCK() Lock nfsd_mtx
NFSD_UNLOCK() Unlock nfsd_mtx
Constify a number of global variables/structures in the NFS server
code, as they are not modified and contain constants only:
nfsrvv2_procid nfsrv_nfsv3_procid nonidempotent
nfsv2_repstat nfsv2_type nfsrv_nfsv3_procid
nfsrvv2_procid nfsrv_v2errmap nfsv3err_null
nfsv3err_getattr nfsv3err_setattr nfsv3err_lookup

nfsv3err_readdir nfsv3err_readdirplus nfsv3err_fsstat
nfsv3err_fsinfo nfsv3err_pathconf nfsv3err_commit
nfsrv_v3errmap
There are additional structures that should be constified but due
to their being passed into general purpose functions without const
arguments, I have not yet converted.
In general, acquire nfsd_mtx when accessing any of the global NFS
structures, including struct nfssvc_sock, struct nfsd, struct
nfsrv_descript.
Release nfsd_mtx whenever calling into VFS, and acquire Giant for
calls into VFS. Giant is not required for any part of the
operation of the NFS server with the exception of calls into VFS.
Giant will never by acquired in the upcall code path. However, it
may operate entirely covered by Giant, or not. If debug.mpsafenet
is set to 0, the system calls will acquire Giant across all
operations, and the upcall will assert Giant. As such, by default,
this enables locking and allows us to test assertions, but should not
cause any substantial new amount of code to be run without Giant.
Bugs should manifest in the form of lock assertion failures for now.
This approach is similar (but not identical) to modifications to the
BSD/OS NFS server code snapshot provided by BSDi as part of their
SMPng snapshot. The strategy is almost the same (single lock over
the NFS server), but differs in the following ways:
- Our NFS client and server code bases don't overlap, which means
both fewer bugs and easier locking (thanks Peter!). Also means
NFSD_*() as opposed to NFS_*().
- We make broad use of assertions, whereas the BSD/OS code does not.
- Made slightly different choices about how to handle macros building
packets but operating with side effects.
- We acquire Giant only when entering VFS from the NFS server daemon
threads.
- Serious bugs in BSD/OS implementation corrected -- the snapshot we
received was clearly a work in progress.

Make the name cache hash as well as the nfsnode hash use it.
As a special tweak, create an unsigned version of register_t. This allows

what is currently in -CURRENT, but should hopefully be the last time
any application breakage is caused there. As soon as any major
inconveniences are removed, the definition of the in-kernel struct
ucred should be conditionalized upon defined(_KERNEL).
This also changes struct export_args to remove dependency on the
constantly-changing struct ucred, as well as limiting the bounds
of the size fields to the correct size. This means: a) mountd and
friends won't break all the time, b) mountd and friends won't crash
the kernel all the time if they don't know what they're doing wrt

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.

The core of the signalling code has been rewritten to operate
on the new sigset_t. No methodological changes have been made.
Most references to a sigset_t object are through macros (see
signalvar.h) to create a level of abstraction and to provide
a basis for further improvements.
The NSIG constant has not been changed to reflect the maximum
number of signals possible. The reason is that it breaks
programs (especially shells) which assume that all signals
have a non-null name in sys_signame. See src/bin/sh/trap.c
for an example. Instead _SIG_MAXSIG has been introduced to
hold the maximum signal possible with the new sigset_t.
struct sigprop has been moved from signalvar.h to kern_sig.c
because a) it is only used there, and b) access must be done
though function sigprop(). The latter because the table doesn't
holds properties for all signals, but only for the first NSIG
signals.
signal.h has been reorganized to make reading easier and to
add the new and/or modified structures. The "old" structures
are moved to signalvar.h to prevent namespace polution.
Especially the coda filesystem suffers from the change, because
it contained lines like (p->p_sigmask == SIGIO), which is easy
to do for integral types, but not for compound types.
NOTE: kdump (and port linux_kdump) must be recompiled.
Thanks to Garrett Wollman and Daniel Eischen for pressing the
importance of changing sigreturn as well.

Removed use of lastr in preparation for removal of vnode->v_lastr. It
has been replaced with seqcount, which is already supported by the system
and, in fact, gives us a better heuristic for sequential detection then
lastr ever did.
Made major performance improvements to the server side commit. The
server previously fsync'd the entire file for each commit rpc. The
server now bawrite()s only those buffers related to the offset/size
specified in the commit rpc.
Note that we do not commit the meta-data yet. This works still needs
to be done.
Note that a further optimization can be done (and has not yet been done)
on the client: we can merge multiple potential commit rpc's into a
single rpc with a greater file offset/size range and greatly reduce
rpc traffic.

piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed
them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.
The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =
VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This
is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now
responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper
routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often
when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed
in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF
situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing
B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE.
getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now
formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.
There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.
Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
