For software builds, the NFS client does many small
synchronous (with FILE_SYNC) writes because non-contiguous
byte ranges in the same buffer cache block are being
written. This patch adds a new mount option "noncontigwr"
which allows the non-contiguous byte ranges to be combined,
with the dirty byte range becoming the superset of the bytes
that are dirty, if the file has not been file locked.
This reduces the number of writes significantly for software
builds. The only case where this change might break existing
applications is where an application is writing
non-overlapping byte ranges within the same buffer cache block
of a file from multiple clients concurrently.
Since such an application would normally do file locking on
the file, avoiding the byte range merge for files that have
been file locked should be sufficient for most (maybe all?) cases.
file's size attribute does not get updated. As such, it is necessary
to invalidate the attribute cache before clearing NMODIFIED for pNFS.

option. This can occur when an nfsiod thread that already holds
a buffer lock attempts to acquire a vnode lock on an entry in
the directory (a LOR) when another thread holding the vnode lock
is waiting on an nfsiod thread. This patch avoids the deadlock by disabling
readahead for this case, so the nfsiod threads never do readdirplus.
Since readaheads for directories need the directory offset cookie
from the previous read, they cannot normally happen in parallel.
As such, testing by jhb@ and myself didn't find any performance
degredation when this patch is applied. If there is a case where
this results in a significant performance degradation, mounting
without the "rdirplus" option can be done to re-enable readahead
for directories.

Change the vm_page_readahead_finish() interface to not take the error

Do not brelse() the buffer unconditionally with BIO_ERROR set if
uiomove() failed. The brelse() treats most buffers with BIO_ERROR as
B_INVAL, dropping their content. Instead, if the write request
covered the whole buffer, remember the cached state and brelse() with
BIO_ERROR set only if the buffer was not cached previously.
Update the buffer dirtyoff/dirtyend based on the progress recorded by
uiomove() in passed struct uio, even in the presence of
error. Otherwise, usermode could see changed data in the backed pages,
but later the buffer is destroyed without write-back.
If uiomove() failed for IO_UNIT request, try to truncate the vnode
back to the pre-write state, and rewind the progress in passed uio
accordingly, following the FFS behaviour.

memory mapped pages being written back on an NFS mount.
Since any thread can call VOP_PUTPAGES() to write back a
dirty page, the credentials of that thread may not have
write access to the file on an NFS server. (Often the uid
is 0, which may be mapped to "nobody" in the NFS server.)
Although there is no completely correct fix for this
(NFS servers check access on every write RPC instead of at
open/mmap time), this patch avoids the common cases by
holding onto a credential that recently opened the file
for writing and uses that credential for the write RPCs
being done by VOP_PUTPAGES() for both NFS clients.

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.

VM_PAGER_ERROR causes the page reactivation and does not clear the

nfsclient - a mutation of sys/nfsclient that call generic functions
to do RPCs and handle state. As such, it retains the
buffer cache handling characteristics and vnode semantics that
are found in sys/nfsclient, for the most part.
nfsserver - the server. It includes a DRC designed specifically for
NFSv4, that is used instead of the generic DRC in sys/rpc.
The build glue will be checked in later, so at this point, it
consists of 3 new subdirs that should not affect kernel building.
