without setting SYF_MPSAFE, effectively removing the MPSAFE flag even

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_access nfsv3err_readlink nfsv3err_read
nfsv3err_write nfsv3err_create nfsv3err_mkdir
nfsv3err_symlink nfsv3err_mknod nfsv3err_remove
nfsv3err_rmdir nfsv3err_rename nfsv3err_link
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.

nfsm_srvpathsiz. This macro plucks a length out of an rpc request and
verifies that its size does not exceed NFS_MAXPATHLEN. If it does
it generates an ENAMETOOLONG response.
- Use this macro, and the existing nfsm_srvnamsiz macro in two places
where we deal with paths passed in by the client.
This fixes a linux interoperability bug. Linux was sending oversized path
components which would cause us to ignore the request all together. This
causes linux to hang indefinitly while it waits for a response. This
could still happen in other cases where we error out with EBADRPC.

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.

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.

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.

with the new snapshot code.
Update addaliasu to correctly implement the semantics of the old
checkalias function. When a device vnode first comes into existence,
check to see if an anonymous vnode for the same device was created
at boot time by bdevvp(). If so, adopt the bdevvp vnode rather than
creating a new vnode for the device. This corrects a problem which
caused the kernel to panic when taking a snapshot of the root
filesystem.
Change the calling convention of vn_write_suspend_wait() to be the
same as vn_start_write().
Split out softdep_flushworklist() from softdep_flushfiles() so that
it can be used to clear the work queue when suspending filesystem
operations.
Access to buffers becomes recursive so that snapshots can recursively
traverse their indirect blocks using ffs_copyonwrite() when checking
for the need for copy on write when flushing one of their own indirect
blocks. This eliminates a deadlock between the syncer daemon and a
process taking a snapshot.
Ensure that softdep_process_worklist() can never block because of a
snapshot being taken. This eliminates a problem with buffer starvation.
Cleanup change in ffs_sync() which did not synchronously wait when
MNT_WAIT was specified. The result was an unclean filesystem panic
when doing forcible unmount with heavy filesystem I/O in progress.
Return a zero'ed block when reading a block that was not in use at
the time that a snapshot was taken. Normally, these blocks should
never be read. However, the readahead code will occationally read
them which can cause unexpected behavior.
Clean up the debugging code that ensures that no blocks be written
on a filesystem while it is suspended. Snapshots must explicitly
label the blocks that they are writing during the suspension so that
they do not cause a `write on suspended filesystem' panic.
Reorganize ffs_copyonwrite() to eliminate a deadlock and also to
prevent a race condition that would permit the same block to be
copied twice. This change eliminates an unexpected soft updates
inconsistency in fsck caused by the double allocation.
Use bqrelse rather than brelse for buffers that will be needed
soon again by the snapshot code. This improves snapshot performance.
