thru the sndlock.
- Institute a new nfs_connectlock that serializes NFS/TCP reconnects. Add
logic to wait for pending request senders to finish sending before
reconnecting. Dial down the sb_timeo for NFS/TCP sockets to 1 sec.
- Break out the nfs xid manipulation under a new nfs xid lock, rather than
over loading the nfs request lock for this purpose.
- Fix some of the locking in nfs_request.

attrs from the READDIR+, leading to the wrong size from being

In this case some of the connection parameters like the retry timer were

2) Reduce the acquisitions of the Giant lock in the nfs_socket.c paths significantly.
- We don't need to acquire Giant before tsleeping on lbolt anymore,
since jhb specialcased lbolt handling in msleep.
- nfs_up() needs to acquire Giant only if printing the "server up"
message.
- nfs_timer() held Giant for the duration of the NFS timer processing,
just because the printing of the message in nfs_down() needed it
(and we acquire other locks in nfs_timer()). The acquisition of
Giant is moved down into nfs_down() now, reducing the time Giant is

we thought that it was optimized well enough for the one file system

layered ones which already get the layering for VOP_SETATTR() wrong).
However, nfs_setattr() doesn't do much parameter checking, so when
it gets a combination of parameters that it doesn't understand, it
always does a Setattr RPC. This RPC can't do anything good, and for
VA_MARK_ATIME it is null except for wasting a lot of time.
This is the smallest and easiest to fix of several bugs that have
increased the number of RPCs for kernel builds on nfs by more than
