piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed
them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.
The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =
VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This
is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now
responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper
routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often
when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed
in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF
situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing
B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE.
getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now
formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.
There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.
Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be
recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes.

This change implements a relatively sophisticated fix to getnewbuf().
There were two problems with getnewbuf(). First, the writerecursion
can lead to a system stack overflow when you have NFS and/or VN
devices in the system. Second, the free/dirty buffer accounting was
completely broken. Not only did the nfs routines blow it trying to
manually account for the buffer state, but the accounting that was
done did not work well with the purpose of their existance: figuring
out when getnewbuf() needs to sleep.
The meat of the change is to kern/vfs_bio.c. The remaining diffs are
all minor except for NFS, which includes both the fixes for bp
interaction AND fixes for a 'biodone(): buffer already done' lockup.
Sys/buf.h also contains a chaining structure which is not used by
this patchset but is used by other patches that are coming soon.

These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for
maintainability's sake. Any instance where it wasn't "immediately
obvious" that a buffer overflow could not occur was made safer.

cache. If the cached result lets us say "yes", then go with that. If
we're not sure, or we think the answer might be "no", go to the wire to be
certain. This avoids all of the possible false veto cases, and allows us
to key the cached value with just the UID for which the cached value holds,
reducing the bloat of the nfsnode structure from 104 bytes to just 12 bytes.
Since the "yes" case is by far the most common, this should still provide
a substantial performance improvement. Also default the cache to on, with
a conservative timeout (2 seconds). This improves performance if NFS is
loaded as a KLD module, as there's not (yet) code to parse an option out
of the module arguments to set it, and sysctl doesn't work (yet) for OIDs
in modules.

Feedback on this would be appreciated as testing has been necessarily
limited by Comdex, and it would be valuable to have this in 2.2.8.
This yields startling performance increases for NFS clients for many
access profiles, due to the fact that ACCESS results are persistently
cached in the namecache in many cases.
Note that the code is somewhat conservative in that it requires an
exact credential match for a cache hit. This bloats the nfsnode
structure by sizeof(struct ucred) (96 bytes). Any less conservative
approach opens the possibility for a false veto in eg. setuid
applications. Alternative suggestions would be welcomed.
The cache is normally disabled, to activate set the sysctl variable
vfs.nfs.access_cache_timeout to a nonzero value. This is the time in
seconds that a cached entry will be considered valid; useful values appear
to be 2-10 seconds. Performance of the cache can be monitored with the
vfs.nfs.access_cache_hits and vfs.nfs.access_cache_hits variables.

that vgone calls vclean() which then calls calls nfs_inactive()

barfs and, I think, drops the connection.
However, there's no guarantee that in a multi-fragment RPC, all the
fragments will be at least as large as NFS_MINPACKET.
In fact, with the version of "tclnfs" we have here, which supports NFS
over TCP, at least when built under SunOS 4.1.3 (i.e., with 4.1.3's
user-mode ONC RPC library), I can *repeatably* cause "tclnfs" to send a
request with more than one fragment, one of which is only 8 bytes long.
I just do a 3877-byte write to a file, at an offset of 0.
The check that "slp->ns_reclen" is greater than or equal to
NFS_MINPACKET serves no useful purpose - if the NFS server code can't
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
should be removed.

reinitialization reasonably except it checked for annulled self
