adds a FS type specific flag indicating that the FS supports shared
vnode lock lookups, adds some logic in vfs_lookup.c to test this flag
and set lock flags appropriately.
- amd on 6.x is a non-starter (without this change). Using amd under
heavy load results in a deadlock (with cascading vnode locks all the
way to the root) very quickly.
- This change should also fix the more general problem of cascading
vnode deadlocks when an NFS server goes down.
Ideally, we wouldn't need these changes, as enabling shared vnode lock
lookups globally would work. Unfortunately, UFS, for example isn't
ready for shared vnode lock lookups, crashing pretty quickly.
This change is the result of discussions with Stephan Uphoff (ups@).

mimicing the NFS reference implementation.
NFS over TCP does not need fast retransmit timeouts, since network loss
and congestion are managed by the transport (TCP), unlike with NFS over
UDP. A long timeout prevents the unnecessary retransmission of non-
idempotent NFS requests.

these filesystems will support shared locks until they are explicitly
modified to do so. Careful review must be done to ensure that this
is safe for each individual filesystem.

I'm not sure why a credential was added to these in the first place, it is
not used anywhere and it doesn't make much sense:
The credentials for syncing a file (ability to write to the
file) should be checked at the system call level.
Credentials for syncing one or more filesystems ("none")
should be checked at the system call level as well.
If the filesystem implementation needs a particular credential
to carry out the syncing it would logically have to the
cached mount credential, or a credential cached along with
any delayed write data.

This is to allow filesystems to decide based on the passed thread

Several filesystems used curthread, they now use the passed thread.

our cached 'next vnode' being removed from this mountpoint. If we
find that it was recycled, we restart our traversal from the start
of the list.
Code to do that is in all local disk filesystems (and a few other
places) and looks roughly like this:
MNT_ILOCK(mp);
loop:
for (vp = TAILQ_FIRST(&mp...);
(vp = nvp) != NULL;
nvp = TAILQ_NEXT(vp,...)) {
if (vp->v_mount != mp)
goto loop;
MNT_IUNLOCK(mp);
...
MNT_ILOCK(mp);
}
MNT_IUNLOCK(mp);
The code which takes vnodes off a mountpoint looks like this:
MNT_ILOCK(vp->v_mount);
...
TAILQ_REMOVE(&vp->v_mount->mnt_nvnodelist, vp, v_nmntvnodes);
...
MNT_IUNLOCK(vp->v_mount);
...
vp->v_mount = something;
(Take a moment and try to spot the locking error before you read on.)
On a SMP system, one CPU could have removed nvp from our mountlist
but not yet gotten to assign a new value to vp->v_mount while another
CPU simultaneously get to the top of the traversal loop where it
finds that (vp->v_mount != mp) is not true despite the fact that
the vnode has indeed been removed from our mountpoint.
Fix:
Introduce the macro MNT_VNODE_FOREACH() to traverse the list of
vnodes on a mountpoint while taking into account that vnodes may
be removed from the list as we go. This saves approx 65 lines of
duplicated code.
Split the insmntque() which potentially moves a vnode from one mount
point to another into delmntque() and insmntque() which does just
what the names say.
Fix delmntque() to set vp->v_mount to NULL while holding the
mountpoint lock.
