significantly. Upon investigation this was caused by name cache
misses for lookups of "..". For name cache entries for non-".."
directories, the cache entry serves double duty. It maps both the
named directory plus ".." for the parent of the directory. As such,
two ctime values (one for each of the directory and its parent) need
to be saved in the name cache entry.
This patch adds an entry for ctime of the parent directory to the
name cache. It also adds an additional uma zone for large entries
with this time value, in order to minimize memory wastage.
As well, it fixes a couple of cases where the mtime of the parent
directory was being saved instead of ctime for positive name cache
entries. With this patch, Lookup RPC counts return to values similar
to pre-r230394 kernels.

entries on one client when a directory was renamed on another client. The
root cause for the stale entry being trusted is that each per-vnode nfsnode
structure has a single 'n_ctime' timestamp used to validate positive name
cache entries. However, if there are multiple entries for a single vnode,
they all share a single timestamp. To fix this, extend the name cache
to allow filesystems to optionally store a timestamp value in each name
cache entry. The NFS clients now fetch the timestamp associated with
each name cache entry and use that to validate cache hits instead of the
timestamps previously stored in the nfsnode. Another part of the fix is
that the NFS clients now use timestamps from the post-op attributes of
RPCs when adding name cache entries rather than pulling the timestamps out
of the file's attribute cache. The latter is subject to races with other
lookups updating the attribute cache concurrently. Some more details:
- Add a variant of nfsm_postop_attr() to the old NFS client that can return
a vattr structure with a copy of the post-op attributes.
- Handle lookups of "." as a special case in the NFS clients since the name
cache does not store name cache entries for ".", so we cannot get a
useful timestamp. It didn't really make much sense to recheck the
attributes on the the directory to validate the namecache hit for "."
anyway.
- ABI compat shims for the name cache routines are present in this commit
so that it is safe to MFC.

nullfs. The problem is that resulting vnode is only required to be
held on return from the successfull call to vop, instead of being
referenced.
Nullfs VOP_INACTIVE() method reclaims the vnode, which in combination
with the VOP_VPTOCNP() interface means that the directory vnode
returned from VOP_VPTOCNP() is reclaimed in advance, causing
vn_fullpath() to error with EBADF or like.
Change the interface for VOP_VPTOCNP(), now the dvp must be
referenced. Convert all in-tree implementations of VOP_VPTOCNP(),
which is trivial, because vhold(9) and vref(9) are similar in the
locking prerequisites. Out-of-tree fs implementation of VOP_VPTOCNP(),
if any, should have no trouble with the fix.

vfs:namecache:fullpath:miss - vn_fullpath1() failed to resolve a search
for the parent of an object using the namecache, passed the child
vnode pointer.
vfs:namecache:fullpath:return - vn_fullpath1() has completed, passed the
error number, and if that is zero, the vnode to resolve, and the
returned path.
vfs:namecache:lookup:hit - postive name cache entry hit, passed the
parent directory vnode pointer, name, and child vnode pointer.
vfs:namecache:lookup:hit_negative - negative name cache entry hit,
passed the parent directory vnode pointer and name.
vfs:namecache:lookup:miss - name cache miss, passed the parent directory
pointer and the full remaining component name (not terminated after the
cache miss component).
vfs:namecache:purge:done - name cache purge for a vnode, passed the vnode
pointer to purge.
vfs:namecache:purge_negative:done - name cache purge of negative entries
for children of a vnode, passed the vnode pointer to purge.
vfs:namecache:purgevfs - name cache purge for a mountpoint, passed the
mount pointer. Separate probes will also be invoked for each cache
entry zapped.

directory vnode pointer, name, and child vnode pointer.
vfs:namecache:zap_negative:done - negative name cache entry zapped,

For any probes involving an extant name cache entry (enter, hit, zapp),
we use the nul-terminated string for the name component. For misses,
the remainder of the path, including later components, is provided as
an argument instead since there is no handy nul-terminated version of
the string around. This is arguably a bug.

back to using the RPC. This required adding a new cache_purge_negative()
