if you do:

nfs_sillyrename() self-destructs if you try to sillyrename a directory,
however nfs_rename() can be coerced into doing just that by the above
sequence of commands. To avoid this, nfs_rename() now checks that
v_type of the 'destination' vnode != VDIR before attempting the
sillyrename. The server correctly handles this particular situation
by returning ENOTEMPTY on the rename() attempt.
I asked if this was the correct fix for this on -hackers but nobody
ever answered.

existing mechanism uses a global queue for some buffers and the
vp->b_dirtyblkhd queue for others. This turns sequential writes into
randomly ordered writes to the server, affecting both read and write
performance. The existing mechanism also copes badly with hung
servers, tending to block accesses to other servers when all the iods
are waiting for a hung server.
The new mechanism uses a queue for each mount point. All asynchronous
i/o goes through this queue which preserves the ordering of requests.
A simple mechanism ensures that the iods are shared out fairly between
active mount points. This removes the sysctl variable vfs.nfs.dwrite
since the new queueing mechanism removes the old delayed write code
completely.
This should go into the 2.2 branch.

if a single process is performing a large number of requests (in this
case writing a large file). The writing process could monopolise the
recieve lock and prevent any other processes from recieving their
replies.
It also adds a new sysctl variable 'vfs.nfs.dwrite' which controls the
behaviour which originally pointed out the problem. When a process
writes to a file over NFS, it usually arranges for another process
(the 'iod') to perform the request. If no iods are available, then it
turns the write into a 'delayed write' which is later picked up by the
next iod to do a write request for that file. This can cause that
particular iod to do a disproportionate number of requests from a
single process which can harm performance on some NFS servers. The
alternative is to perform the write synchronously in the context of
the original writing process if no iod is avaiable for asynchronous
writing.
The 'delayed write' behaviour is selected when vfs.nfs.dwrite=1 and
the non-delayed behaviour is selected when vfs.nfs.dwrite=0. The
default is vfs.nfs.dwrite=1; if many people tell me that performance
is better if vfs.nfs.dwrite=0 then I will change the default.

The interface into the "VMIO" system has changed to be more consistant
and robust. Essentially, it is now no longer necessary to call vn_open
to get merged VM/Buffer cache operation, and exceptional conditions
such as merged operation of VBLK devices is simpler and more correct.
This code corrects a potentially large set of problems including the
problems with ktrace output and loaded systems, file create/deletes,
etc.
Most of the changes to NFS are cosmetic and name changes, eliminating
a layer of subroutine calls. The direct calls to vput/vrele have
been re-instituted for better cross platform compatibility.

1. Clear B_NEEDCOMMIT in nfs_write to make sure that dirty data is
correctly send to the server. If a buffer was dirtied when it was in
the B_DELWRI+B_NEEDCOMMIT state, the state of the buffer was left
unchanged and when the buffer was later cleaned, just a commit rpc was
made to the server to complete the previous write. Clearing
B_NEEDCOMMIT ensures that another write is made to the server.
2. If a server returned a server (for whatever reason) returned an
answer to a write RPC that implied that fewer bytes than requested
were written, bad things would happen.
3. The setattr operation passed on the atime in stead of the mtime to
the server. The fix is trivial.
4. XIDs always started at 0, but this caused some servers (older DEC
OSF/1 3.0 so I've been told) who had very long-lasting XID caches to
get confused if, after a reboot of a BSD client, RPCs came in with a
XID that had in the past been used before from that client. Patch is
to use the current time in seconds as a starting point for XIDs. The
patch below is not perfect, because it requires the root fs to be
mounted first. This is because of the check BSD systems do, comparing
FS time to system time.

pr_usrreq mechanism which was poorly designed and error-prone. This
commit renames pr_usrreq to pr_ousrreq so that old code which depended on it
would break in an obvious manner. This commit also implements the new
interface for TCP, although the old function is left as an example
(#ifdef'ed out). This commit ALSO fixes a longstanding bug in the
TCP timer processing (introduced by davidg on 1995/04/12) which caused
timer processing on a TCB to always stop after a single timer had
expired (because it misinterpreted the return value from tcp_usrreq()
to indicate that the TCB had been deleted). Finally, some code
related to polling has been deleted from if.c because it is not
relevant t -current and doesn't look at all like my current code.
Poul mentioned that he thought this was some kind of timing problem, and
that started me thinking. After a little poking around, I found that
nfs_timer() was completely disabled when NFS_NOSERVER was #defined.
But after looking at nfs_timer(), it seemed like it was something
required by both the client and server code, and disabling it outright
just didn't seem to make any sense. Parts of it relate only to the
NFS server side code, so I disabled those, but I re-enabled the rest
of the function and made sure that it would be called from nfs_init()
(in nfs_subs.c).
With nfs_timer() re-enabled, everything seems to work again. The only
other changes I made were to #ifdef away some variable declarations
in the NFS_NOSERVER case so that gcc would stop complaining about
unused variables.

for type checking of the arg, so it would be preferable not to use
the complete function type, especially since using the complete
