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.

This problem appears to have been caused by r251719 (reverting
r251719 fixed the problem). Although I have not been able to
reproduce this problem, I suspect it is caused by another thread
increasing np->n_size after the mtx_unlock(&np->n_mtx) but before
the vnode_pager_setsize() call. Since the np->n_mtx mutex serializes
updates to np->n_size, doing the vnode_pager_setsize() with the
mutex locked appears to avoid the problem.
Unfortunately, vnode_pager_setsize() where the new size is smaller,
cannot be called with a mutex held.
This patch returns the semantics to be close to pre-r251719 such that the
call to the vnode_pager_setsize() is only delayed until after the mutex is
unlocked when np->n_size is shrinking. Since the file is growing
when being written, I believe this will fix the corruption.

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

195702, 195703, and 195821 prevented a thread from suspending while holding
locks inside of NFS by forcing the thread to fail sleeps with EINTR or
ERESTART but defer the thread suspension to the user boundary. However,
this had the effect that stopping a process during an NFS request could
abort the request and trigger EINTR errors that were visible to userland
processes (previously the thread would have suspended and completed the
request once it was resumed).
This change instead effectively masks stop signals while in the NFS client.
It uses the existing TDF_SBDRY flag to effect this since SIGSTOP cannot
be masked directly. Also, instead of setting PBDRY on individual sleeps,
the NFS client now sets the TDF_SBDRY flag around each NFS request and
stop signals are masked for all sleeps during that region (the previous
change missed sleeps in lockmgr locks). The end result is that stop
signals sent to threads performing an NFS request are completely
ignored until after the NFS request has finished processing and the
thread prepares to return to userland. This restores the behavior of
stop signals being transparent to userland processes while still
preventing threads from suspending while holding NFS locks.

The primary changes are that the user of the interface no longer

This patch adds an entry for ctime of the parent directory to the

with this time value, in order to minimize memory wastage.
As well, it fixes a couple of cases where the mtime of the parent

entries on one client when a directory was renamed on another client. The
root cause for the stale entry being trusted is that each per-vnode nfsnode
structure has a single 'n_ctime' timestamp used to validate positive name
cache entries. However, if there are multiple entries for a single vnode,
they all share a single timestamp. To fix this, extend the name cache
to allow filesystems to optionally store a timestamp value in each name
cache entry. The NFS clients now fetch the timestamp associated with
each name cache entry and use that to validate cache hits instead of the
timestamps previously stored in the nfsnode. Another part of the fix is
that the NFS clients now use timestamps from the post-op attributes of
RPCs when adding name cache entries rather than pulling the timestamps out
of the file's attribute cache. The latter is subject to races with other
lookups updating the attribute cache concurrently. Some more details:
- Add a variant of nfsm_postop_attr() to the old NFS client that can return
a vattr structure with a copy of the post-op attributes.
- Handle lookups of "." as a special case in the NFS clients since the name
cache does not store name cache entries for ".", so we cannot get a
useful timestamp. It didn't really make much sense to recheck the
attributes on the the directory to validate the namecache hit for "."
anyway.
- ABI compat shims for the name cache routines are present in this commit
so that it is safe to MFC.

get a reply of EEXIST from an NFS server when a Mkdir RPC was retried,
for an NFS over UDP mount.
Upon investigation, it was found that the client was retransmitting
the Mkdir RPC request over UDP, but with a different xid. As such,
the retransmitted message would miss the Duplicate Request Cache
in the server, causing it to reply EEXIST. The kernel client side
UDP rpc code has two timers. The first one causes a retransmit using
the same xid and socket and was set to a fixed value of 3seconds.
(The default can be overridden via CLSET_RETRY_TIMEOUT.)
The second one creates a new socket and xid and should be larger
than the first. However, both NFS clients were setting the second
timer to nm_timeo ("timeout=<value>" mount argument), which defaulted to
1second, so the first timer would never time out.
This patch fixes both NFS clients so that they set the first timer
using nm_timeo and makes the second timer larger than the first one.
