via a new socket during an NFS operation as that reconnect takes place in
the context of an arbitrary thread with an arbitrary credential. Ideally
we would like to use the mount point's credential for the entire process
of setting up the socket to connect to the NFS server. Since some of the
APIs (sobind(), etc.) only take a thread pointer and infer the credential
from that instead of a direct credential, work around the problem by
temporarily changing the current thread's credential to that of the mount
point while connecting the socket and then reverting back to the original
credential when we are done.

server-side RPC retranmission cache for non-idempotent operations: these
hacks substituted 0 (success) for the expected EEXIST in the event that
a target name already existed for LINK, SYMLINK, and MKDIR operations,
under the assumption that EEXIST represented a second application of the
original RPC rather than a true failure.
Background: certain NFS operations (in this case, LINK, SYMLINK, and
MKDIR) are not idempotent, as they leave behind persisting state on the
server that prevents them from being replayed without an error;if an UDP
RPC reply is lost leading to a retransmission by theclient, the second
reply will return EEXIST rather than success, asthe new object has
already been created. The NFS client previouslysilently mapped the
EEXIST return into success to paper over thisproblem.
However, in all modern NFS server implementations, a reply cache is kept
in order to retransmit the original reply to a retransmitted request,
rather than performing the operation a second time, allowing this hack
to be avoided. This allows link()-based filelocking over NFS to operate
correctly, as an application requestingthe creation of a new link for a
file to tell if it succeededatomically or not.
Other NFS clients, including Solaris and Linux, generally follow this
behavior for the same reasons. Most clients also now default to TCP,
which also helps avoid the issue of retransmitted but non-idempotent
requests in most cases.

always does a Setattr RPC. This RPC can't do anything good, and for
