The reviewer raises the following caveat: "I believe these changes
open a non-critical race condition when adding memory to the pool
for the zone. I think what will happen is that you could have two
threads that are simultaneously adding additional memory when the
pool runs out. This appears to not be a problem, however, since
the re-aquisition of the lock will protect the list pointers."
The submitter agrees that the race is non-critical, and points out
that it already existed for the non-SMP case. He suggests that
perhaps a sleep lock (using the lock manager) should be used to
close that race. This might be worth revisiting after 3.0 is

The problem is caused when a directory block is compacted. When this
occurs, softdep_change_directoryentry_offset() is called to relocate each
directory entry and adjust its matching diradd structure, if any, to match
the new location of the entry. The bug is that while
softdep_change_directoryentry_offset() correctly adjusts the offsets of
the diradd structures on the pd_diraddhd[] lists (which are not yet ready
to be committed to disk), it fails to adjust the offsets of the diradd
structures on the pd_pendinghd list (which are ready to be committed to
disk). This causes the dependency structures to be inconsistent with
the buf contents. Now, if the compaction has moved a directory entry to
the same offset as one of the diradd structures on the pd_pendinghd list
*and* a syscall is done that tries to remove this directory entry before
this directory block has been written to disk (which would empty
pd_pendinghd), a sanity check in newdirrem() will call panic() when it
notices that the inode number in the entry that it is to be removed doesn't
match the inode number in the diradd structure with that offset of that
entry.

However, there's no guarantee that in a multi-fragment RPC, all the

In fact, with the version of "tclnfs" we have here, which supports NFS

The check that "slp->ns_reclen" is greater than or equal to

handle packets < NFS_MINPACKET bytes, it can't handle them over *any*
protocol, so the check has to be done above the RPC-over-TCP layer - and
