If B_NOCACHE is set the pages of vm backed buffers will be invalidated.
However clean buffers can be backed by dirty VM pages so invalidating them
can lead to data loss.
Add support for flush dirty page in the data invalidation function
of some network file systems.
This fixes data losses during vnode recycling (and other code paths
using invalbuf(*,V_SAVE,*,*)) for data written using an mmaped file.

client into the kernel by default, and many users won't use NFS,
don't start an extra 4 kernel threads that are unused. Once NFS
becomes active, it will start nfsiod's as it needs them.
We might consider mandating a minimum iod's equal to the number of
active NFS mounts (truncated to some value), which would force some
to remain available without having to create a new one if the file
system is mostly inactive.

NFS over TCP does not need fast retransmit timeouts, since network loss
and congestion are managed by the transport (TCP), unlike with NFS over
UDP. A long timeout prevents the unnecessary retransmission of non-
idempotent NFS requests.

There should be no functional change except there is now a lower limit
on the retransmit timeout to prevent the client from retransmitting
faster than the server's disks can fill requests, and an upper limit
to prevent the estimator from taking to long to retransmit during a
server outage.

The bug was that earlier, if a request was retransmitted,
we would do subsequent retransmits every 10 msecs.
This can cause data corruption under moderate loads by reordering
operations as seen by the client NFS attribute cache, and on the
server side when the retransmission occurs after the original request
has left the duplicate cache, since the operation will be committed
for a second time.
Further work on retransmission handling is needed (e.g. they are still
being done sent too often since they are scaled by HZ, and the size of
the dup cache is too small and easily overwhelmed on busy servers).

request, the FreeBSD NFS client will quickly back off to a excessively
long wait (days, then weeks) before retrying the request.
Change the behavior of the FreeBSD NFS client to match the behavior of
the reference NFS client implementation (Solaris). This provides a fixed
delay of 10 seconds between each retry by default. A sysctl, called
nfs3_jukebox_delay, is now available to tune the delay. Unlike Solaris,
the sysctl value on FreeBSD is in seconds, rather than in HZ.

The client's READDIRPLUS logic skips the attributes and
filehandle of the ".." entry. If the server doesn't send
attributes but does send a filehandle for "..", the
client's logic doesn't account for the extra "value
follows" field that indicates whether the filehandle is
present, causing the remaining entries in the reply
to be ignored.

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.

the error flags in the buf header. That fixes a crash from
bstrategy().
- Treat ETIMEDOUT as a "recoverable" error, causing the buffer
to be re-dirtied. ETIMEDOUT can occur on soft mounts, when
the number of retries are exceeded, and we don't want data loss
in that case.

buffers *and* there are no buffers queued up for writing. The bug
was that NMODIFIED was being cleared even while there were buffers
scheduled to be written out, which leads to all sorts of interesting

load, say) causing data in buffer(s) queued for write to be tossed,
resulting in data corruption.

- Prefer '_' to ' ', as it results in more easily parsed results in
memory monitoring tools such as vmstat.
- Remove punctuation that is incompatible with using memory type names
as file names, such as '/' characters.
- Disambiguate some collisions by adding subsystem prefixes to some
memory types.
- Generally prefer lower case to upper case.
- If the same type is defined in multiple architecture directories,
attempt to use the same name in additional cases.
Not all instances were caught in this change, so more work is required to

It allows to specify options for NFS root file system.
Currently supported options are: soft, intr, conn, lockd.
I'm adding this functionality mostly for 'lockd' option, which is only
honored when performing the initial mount and will be silently ignored
if used while updating the mount options.
This will allow to use flock(2) without the need of using varmfs or
rpc.lockd and friends.
Example of use:
boot.nfsroot.options="intr,lockd"

as they both interact with the tty code (!MPSAFE) and may sleep if the
tty buffer is full (per comment).
Modify all consumers of uprintf() and tprintf() to hold Giant around
calls into these functions. In most cases, this means adding an
acquisition of Giant immediately around the function. In some cases
(nfs_timer()), it means acquiring Giant higher up in the callout.
With these changes, UFS no longer panics on SMP when either blocks are
exhausted or inodes are exhausted under load due to races in the tty
code when running without Giant.
NB: Some reduction in calls to uprintf() in the svr4 code is probably
desirable.
NB: In the case of nfs_timer(), calling uprintf() while holding a mutex,
or even in a callout at all, is a bad idea, and will generate warnings
and potential upset. This needs to be fixed, but was a problem before
this change.
NB: uprintf()/tprintf() sleeping is generally a bad ideas, as is having
non-MPSAFE tty code.

atomic write request, it can fill the buffer cache with the entirety
of that write in order to handle retries. However, it never drops
the vnode lock, or else it wouldn't be atomic, so it ends up waiting
indefinitely for more buf memory that cannot be gotten as it has it
all, and it waits in an uncancellable state.
To fix this, hibufspace is exported and scaled to a reasonable
fraction. This is used as the limit of how much of an atomic write
request by the NFS client will be handled asynchronously. If the
request is larger than this, it will be turned into a synchronous
request which won't deadlock the system. It's possible this value is
far off from what is required by some, so it shall be tunable as soon
as mount_nfs(8) learns of the new field.
The slowdown between an asynchronous and a synchronous write on NFS
appears to be on the order of 2x-4x.
