The kernel has a special wchan called `lbolt', which is triggered each
second. It doesn't seem to be used a lot and it seems pretty redundant,
because we can specify a timeout value to the *sleep() routines. In an
attempt to eventually remove lbolt, make the NFS/RPC code use a timeout
of `hz' when trying to reconnect.
Only the TTY code (not MPSAFE TTY) and the VFS syncer seem to use lbolt
now.

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.

GETATTRs being generated - one from lookup()/namei() and the other
from nfs_open() (for cto consistency). This change eliminates the
GETATTR in nfs_open() if an otw GETATTR was done from the namei()
path. Instead of extending the vop interface, we timestamp each attr
load, and use this to detect whether a GETATTR was done from namei()
for this syscall. Introduces a thread-local variable that counts the
syscalls made by the thread and uses <pid, tid, thread syscalls> as
the attrload timestamp. Thanks to jhb@ and peter@ for a discussion on
thread state that could be used as the timestamp with minimal overhead.
This is easy to reproduce for EROFS. I am not sure if the attrs can be corrupt
for other NFS error responses. For now, disabling wcc pre-op attr checks and
post-op attr loads on NFS errors (sysctl'ed).

not hold any locks at that point). Remove the acquisitions of Giant in the
NFS client wrapping tprintf().
2) Reduce the acquisitions of the Giant lock in the nfs_socket.c paths significantly.
- We don't need to acquire Giant before tsleeping on lbolt anymore,
since jhb specialcased lbolt handling in msleep.
- nfs_up() needs to acquire Giant only if printing the "server up"
message.
- nfs_timer() held Giant for the duration of the NFS timer processing,
just because the printing of the message in nfs_down() needed it
(and we acquire other locks in nfs_timer()). The acquisition of
Giant is moved down into nfs_down() now, reducing the time Giant is
held in that path.

This completes an architectural change that was begun in 1996 to permit
protocols to provide substitute implementations, as now used by UDP.
Consumers now uniformly invoke sosend(), soreceive(), and sopoll() to
perform these operations on sockets -- in particular, distributed file

There should be no functional change except there is now a lower limit

faster than the server's disks can fill requests, and an upper limit

The bug was that earlier, if a request was retransmitted,
we would do subsequent retransmits every 10 msecs.
This can cause data corruption under moderate loads by reordering
operations as seen by the client NFS attribute cache, and on the
server side when the retransmission occurs after the original request
has left the duplicate cache, since the operation will be committed
for a second time.
Further work on retransmission handling is needed (e.g. they are still
being done sent too often since they are scaled by HZ, and the size of
the dup cache is too small and easily overwhelmed on busy servers).

long wait (days, then weeks) before retrying the request.
Change the behavior of the FreeBSD NFS client to match the behavior of
the reference NFS client implementation (Solaris). This provides a fixed
delay of 10 seconds between each retry by default. A sysctl, called
nfs3_jukebox_delay, is now available to tune the delay. Unlike Solaris,
the sysctl value on FreeBSD is in seconds, rather than in HZ.

Modify all consumers of uprintf() and tprintf() to hold Giant around
calls into these functions. In most cases, this means adding an
acquisition of Giant immediately around the function. In some cases
(nfs_timer()), it means acquiring Giant higher up in the callout.
With these changes, UFS no longer panics on SMP when either blocks are
exhausted or inodes are exhausted under load due to races in the tty
code when running without Giant.
NB: Some reduction in calls to uprintf() in the svr4 code is probably
desirable.
NB: In the case of nfs_timer(), calling uprintf() while holding a mutex,
or even in a callout at all, is a bad idea, and will generate warnings
and potential upset. This needs to be fixed, but was a problem before
this change.
NB: uprintf()/tprintf() sleeping is generally a bad ideas, as is having
non-MPSAFE tty code.
