user-mode lock manager, build a kernel with the NFSLOCKD option and add '-k' to 'rpc_lockd_flags' in rc.conf. Highlights include: * Thread-safe kernel RPC client - many threads can use the same RPC client handle safely with replies being de-multiplexed at the socket upcall (typically driven directly by the NIC interrupt) and handed off to whichever thread matches the reply. For UDP sockets, many RPC clients can share the same socket. This allows the use of a single privileged UDP port number to talk to an arbitrary number of remote hosts. * Single-threaded kernel RPC server. Adding support for multi-threaded server would be relatively straightforward and would follow approximately the Solaris KPI. A single thread should be sufficient for the NLM since it should rarely block in normal operation. * Kernel mode NLM server supporting cancel requests and granted callbacks. I've tested the NLM server reasonably extensively - it passes both my own tests and the NFS Connectathon locking tests running on Solaris, Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux. * Userland NLM client supported. While the NLM server doesn't have support for the local NFS client's locking needs, it does have to field async replies and granted callbacks from remote NLMs that the local client has contacted. We relay these replies to the userland rpc.lockd over a local domain RPC socket. * Robust deadlock detection for the local lock manager. In particular it will detect deadlocks caused by a lock request that covers more than one blocking request. As required by the NLM protocol, all deadlock detection happens synchronously - a user is guaranteed that if a lock request isn't rejected immediately, the lock will eventually be granted. The old system allowed for a 'deferred deadlock' condition where a blocked lock request could wake up and find that some other deadlock-causing lock owner had beaten them to the lock. * Since both local and remote locks are managed by the same kernel locking code, local and remote processes can safely use file locks for mutual exclusion. Local processes have no fairness advantage compared to remote processes when contending to lock a region that has just been unlocked - the local lock manager enforces a strict first-come first-served model for both local and remote lockers.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
