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.

mnt_noasync counter to temporary remove MNTK_ASYNC mount option, which
is needed to guarantee a synchronous completion of the initiated i/o
before syscall or VOP return. Global removal of MNTK_ASYNC option is
harmful because not only i/o started from corresponding thread becomes
synchronous, but all i/o is synchronous on the filesystem which is
initiated during sync(2) or syncer activity.
Instead of removing MNTK_ASYNC from mnt_kern_flag, provide a local
thread flag to disable async i/o for current thread only. Use the
opportunity to move DOINGASYNC() macro into sys/vnode.h and
consistently use it through places which tested for MNTK_ASYNC.

NFS clients was reported to freebsd-fs@ under the subject "NFS
corruption in recent HEAD" on Nov. 26, 2011. This problem occurred when
a TCP mounted root fs was changed to using UDP. I believe that this
problem was caused by the change in mnt_stat.f_iosize that occurred
because rsize was decreased to the maximum supported by UDP. This
patch fixes the problem by using v_bufobj.bo_bsize instead of f_iosize,
since the latter is set to f_iosize when the vnode is allocated, but
does not change for a given vnode when f_iosize changes.

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.

get a reply of EEXIST from an NFS server when a Mkdir RPC was retried,
for an NFS over UDP mount.
Upon investigation, it was found that the client was retransmitting
the Mkdir RPC request over UDP, but with a different xid. As such,
the retransmitted message would miss the Duplicate Request Cache
in the server, causing it to reply EEXIST. The kernel client side
UDP rpc code has two timers. The first one causes a retransmit using
the same xid and socket and was set to a fixed value of 3seconds.
(The default can be overridden via CLSET_RETRY_TIMEOUT.)
The second one creates a new socket and xid and should be larger
than the first. However, both NFS clients were setting the second
timer to nm_timeo ("timeout=<value>" mount argument), which defaulted to
1second, so the first timer would never time out.
This patch fixes both NFS clients so that they set the first timer
using nm_timeo and makes the second timer larger than the first one.
