memory mapped pages being written back on an NFS mount.
Since any thread can call VOP_PUTPAGES() to write back a
dirty page, the credentials of that thread may not have
write access to the file on an NFS server. (Often the uid
is 0, which may be mapped to "nobody" in the NFS server.)
Although there is no completely correct fix for this
(NFS servers check access on every write RPC instead of at
open/mmap time), this patch avoids the common cases by
holding onto a credential that recently opened the file
for writing and uses that credential for the write RPCs
being done by VOP_PUTPAGES() for both NFS clients.

This was reported to the mailing list freebsd-net@freebsd.org
on July 21, 2011 under the subject "LOR with nfsclient sillyrename".
The LOR occurred when nfs_inactive() called vrele(sp->s_dvp)
while holding the vnode lock on the file in s_dvp. This patch
modifies the client so that it performs the vrele(sp->s_dvp)
as a separate task to avoid the LOR. This fix was discussed
with jhb@ and kib@, who both proposed variations of it.

This structure also has a function pointer for a function that

namespace in order to handle lockmgr fields in a controlled way instead
than spreading all around bogus stubs:
- VN_LOCK_AREC() allows lock recursion for a specified vnode
- VN_LOCK_ASHARE() allows lock sharing for a specified vnode
In FFS land:
- BUF_AREC() allows lock recursion for a specified buffer lock
- BUF_NOREC() disallows recursion for a specified buffer lock
Side note: union_subr.c::unionfs_node_update() is the only other function
directly handling lockmgr fields. As this is not simple to fix, it has
been left behind as "sole" exception.
- Remove the "thread" argument from the lockmgr() function as it is
always curthread now
- Axe lockcount() function as it is no longer used
- Axe LOCKMGR_ASSERT() as it is bogus really and no currently used.
Hopefully this will be soonly replaced by something suitable for it.
- Remove the prototype for dumplockinfo() as the function is no longer
present
Addictionally:
- Introduce a KASSERT() in lockstatus() in order to let it accept only
curthread or NULL as they should only be passed
- Do a little bit of style(9) cleanup on lockmgr.h

- 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@).

last few days. I tracked it down to the fact that nfs_reclaim()
is setting vp->v_data to NULL _before_ calling vnode_destroy_object().
After silence from the mailing list I checked further and discovered
that ufs_reclaim() is unique among FreeBSD filesystems for calling
vnode_destroy_object() early, long before tossing v_data or much
of anything else, for that matter. The rest, including NFS, appear
to be identical, as if they were just clones of one original routine.
The enclosed patch fixes all file systems in essentially the same
way, by moving the call to vnode_destroy_object() to early in the
routine (before the call to vfs_hash_remove(), if any). I have
only tested NFS, but I've now run for over eighteen hours with the
patch where I wouldn't get past four or five without it.

vnode EXCLUSIVE lock. This prevents threads from adding pages to
the vnode while an invalidation is in progress, closing potential
races. In the bioread() path, callers acquire the SHARED vnode lock
- so while an invalidate was in progress, it was possible to fault
in new pages onto the vnode causing the invalidation to take a while
or fail. We saw these races at Yahoo! with very large files+heavy
concurrent access. Forcing an upgrade to EXCLUSIVE lock before doing
the invalidation closes all these races.

first place.
Eliminate in toto VOCALL(), vop_t, VNODEOP_SET() etc.
Give coda correct prototypes and function definitions for
all vop_()s.
Generate a bit more data from the vnode_if.src file: a
struct vop_vector and protype typedefs for all vop methods.
Add a new vop_bypass() and make vop_default be a pointer
to another struct vop_vector.
Remove a lot of vfs_init since vop_vector is ready to use
from the compiler.
Cast various vop_mumble() to void * with uppercase name,
for instance VOP_PANIC, VOP_NULL etc.
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
become typesafe. (The bulk of this is generated by scripts)

Move the two NFS buf_ops to more sensible places, add bufstrategy

that use it. Specifically, vop_stdlock uses the lock pointed to by
vp->v_vnlock. By default, getnewvnode sets up vp->v_vnlock to
reference vp->v_lock. Filesystems that wish to use the default
do not need to allocate a lock at the front of their node structure
(as some still did) or do a lockinit. They can simply start using
vn_lock/VOP_UNLOCK. Filesystems that wish to manage their own locks,
but still use the vop_stdlock functions (such as nullfs) can simply
replace vp->v_vnlock with a pointer to the lock that they wish to
have used for the vnode. Such filesystems are responsible for
setting the vp->v_vnlock back to the default in their vop_reclaim
routine (e.g., vp->v_vnlock = &vp->v_lock).
In theory, this set of changes cleans up the existing filesystem
lock interface and should have no function change to the existing
locking scheme.
