During testing of the pNFS client, it was observed that an RPC could get
stuck in sosend() for a very long time if the network connection to a DS
had failed. This is fixed by setting SO_SNDTIMEO on the TCP socket.
This is only done when CLSET_TIMEOUT is done and this is not done by any
use of the krpc currently in the source tree, so there should be no effect
on extant uses.
A future patch will use CLSET_TIMEOUT for TCP connections to DSs.

Occationally the kernel nfsd threads would not terminate when a SIGKILL
was posted for the kernel process (called nfsd (slave)). When this occurred,
the thread associated with the process (called "ismaster") had returned from
svc_run_internal() and was sleeping waiting for the other threads to terminate.
The other threads (created by kthread_start()) were still in svc_run_internal()
handling NFS RPCs.
The only way this could occur is for the "ismaster" thread to return from
svc_run_internal() without having called svc_exit().
There was only one place in the code where this could happen and this patch
stops that from happening.
Since the problem is intermittent, I cannot be sure if this has fixed the
problem, but I have not seen an occurrence of the problem with this patch
applied.

o Separate fields of struct socket that belong to listening from
fields that belong to normal dataflow, and unionize them. This
shrinks the structure a bit.
- Take out selinfo's from the socket buffers into the socket. The
first reason is to support braindamaged scenario when a socket is
added to kevent(2) and then listen(2) is cast on it. The second
reason is that there is future plan to make socket buffers pluggable,
so that for a dataflow socket a socket buffer can be changed, and
in this case we also want to keep same selinfos through the lifetime
of a socket.
- Remove struct struct so_accf. Since now listening stuff no longer
affects struct socket size, just move its fields into listening part
of the union.
- Provide sol_upcall field and enforce that so_upcall_set() may be called
only on a dataflow socket, which has buffers, and for listening sockets
provide solisten_upcall_set().
o Remove ACCEPT_LOCK() global.
- Add a mutex to socket, to be used instead of socket buffer lock to lock
fields of struct socket that don't belong to a socket buffer.
- Allow to acquire two socket locks, but the first one must belong to a
listening socket.
- Make soref()/sorele() to use atomic(9). This allows in some situations
to do soref() without owning socket lock. There is place for improvement
here, it is possible to make sorele() also to lock optionally.
- Most protocols aren't touched by this change, except UNIX local sockets.
See below for more information.
o Reduce copy-and-paste in kernel modules that accept connections from
listening sockets: provide function solisten_dequeue(), and use it in
the following modules: ctl(4), iscsi(4), ng_btsocket(4), ng_ksocket(4),
infiniband, rpc.
o UNIX local sockets.
- Removal of ACCEPT_LOCK() global uncovered several races in the UNIX
local sockets. Most races exist around spawning a new socket, when we
are connecting to a local listening socket. To cover them, we need to
hold locks on both PCBs when spawning a third one. This means holding
them across sonewconn(). This creates a LOR between pcb locks and
unp_list_lock.
- To fix the new LOR, abandon the global unp_list_lock in favor of global
unp_link_lock. Indeed, separating these two locks didn't provide us any
extra parralelism in the UNIX sockets.
- Now call into uipc_attach() may happen with unp_link_lock hold if, we
are accepting, or without unp_link_lock in case if we are just creating
a socket.
- Another problem in UNIX sockets is that uipc_close() basicly did nothing
for a listening socket. The vnode remained opened for connections. This
is fixed by removing vnode in uipc_close(). Maybe the right way would be
to do it for all sockets (not only listening), simply move the vnode
teardown from uipc_detach() to uipc_close()?

When sosend() replies ERESTART in the client side krpc, it indicates that
the RPC message hasn't yet been sent and that the send queue is full or
locked while a signal is posted for the process.
Without this patch, this would result in a RPC_CANTSEND reply from
clnt_vc_call(), which would cause clnt_reconnect_call() to create a new
TCP transport connection. For most NFS servers, this wasn't a serious problem,
although it did imply retries of outstanding RPCs, which could possibly
have missed the DRC.
For an NFSv4.1 mount to AmazonEFS, this caused a serious problem, since
AmazonEFS often didn't retain the NFSv4.1 session and would reply with
NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION. This implies to the client a crash/reboot which
requires open/lock state recovery.
Three options were considered to fix this:
- Return the ERESTART all the way up to the system call boundary and then
have the system call redone. This is fraught with risk, due to convoluted
code paths, asynchronous I/O RPCs etc. cperciva@ worked on this, but it
is still a work in prgress and may not be feasible.
- Set SB_NOINTR for the socket buffer. This fixes the problem, but makes
the sosend() completely non interruptible, which kib@ considered
inappropriate. It also would break forced dismount when a thread
was blocked in sosend().
- Modify the retry loop in clnt_vc_call(), so that it loops for this case
for up to 15sec. Testing showed that the sosend() usually succeeded by
the 2nd retry. The extreme case observed was 111 loop iterations, or
about 100msec of delay.
This third alternative is what is implemented in this patch, since the
change is:
- localized
- straightforward
- forced dismount is not broken by it.
This patch has been tested by cperciva@ extensively against AmazonEFS.

Larry Rosenman reported a crash on freebsd-current@ which was caused by
a premature release of the krpc backchannel socket structure.
I believe this was caused by a race between the SVC_RELEASE() in clnt_vc.c
and the xprt_unregister() in the higher layer (clnt_rc.c), which tried
to lock the mutex in the xprt structure and crashed.
This patch fixes this by removing the xprt_unregister() in the clnt_vc
layer and allowing this to always be done by the clnt_rc (higher reconnect
layer).

Issue is that boottime* should be adjusted from tc_windup(), which
requires them to be members of the timehands structure. As a
preparation, this commit only introduces the interface.
Some uses of boottime were found doubtful, e.g. NLM uses boottime to

change on the leap second adjustment, but the commit is about the

implementation.
The kernel RPC code, which is responsible for the low-level scheduling
of incoming NFS requests, contains a throttling mechanism that
prevents too much kernel memory from being tied up by NFS requests
that are being serviced. When the throttle is engaged, the RPC layer
stops servicing incoming NFS sockets, resulting ultimately in
backpressure on the clients (if they're using TCP). However, this is
a very heavy-handed mechanism as it prevents all clients from making
any requests, regardless of how heavy or light they are. (Thus, when
engaged, the throttle often prevents clients from even mounting the
filesystem.) The throttle mechanism applies specifically to requests
that have been received by the RPC layer (from a TCP or UDP socket)
and are queued waiting to be serviced by one of the nfsd threads; it
does not limit the amount of backlog in the socket buffers.
The original implementation limited the total bytes of queued requests
to the minimum of a quarter of (nmbclusters * MCLBYTES) and 45 MiB.
The former limit seems reasonable, since requests queued in the socket
buffers and replies being constructed to the requests in progress will
all require some amount of network memory, but the 45 MiB limit is
plainly ridiculous for modern memory sizes: when running 256 service
threads on a busy server, 45 MiB would result in just a single
maximum-sized NFS3PROC_WRITE queued per thread before throttling.
Removing this limit exposed integer-overflow bugs in the original
computation, and related bugs in the routines that actually account
for the amount of traffic enqueued for service threads. The old
implementation also attempted to reduce accounting overhead by
batching updates until each queue is fully drained, but this is prone
to livelock, resulting in repeated accumulate-throttle-drain cycles on
a busy server. Various data types are changed to long or unsigned
long; explicit 64-bit types are not used due to the unavailability of
64-bit atomics on many 32-bit platforms, but those platforms also
cannot support nmbclusters large enough to cause overflow.
This code (in a 10.1 kernel) is presently running on production NFS
servers at CSAIL.
Summary of this revision:
* Removes 45 MiB limit on requests queued for nfsd service threads
* Fixes integer-overflow and signedness bugs
* Avoids unnecessary throttling by not deferring accounting for
completed requests

Old design with unified thread pool was good from the point of thread
utilization. But single pool-wide mutex became huge congestion point
for systems with many CPUs. To reduce the congestion create several
thread groups within a pool (one group for every 6 CPUs and 12 threads),
each group with own mutex. Each connection during its registration is
assigned to one of the groups in round-robin fashion. File affinify
code may still move requests between the groups, but otherwise groups
