When using big inodes there is sufficient space in ext3 to
keep extra resolution and birthtime (creation) timestamps.
The appropriate fields in the on-disk inode have been approved
for a long time but support for this in ext3 has not been
widely distributed.
In preparation for ext4 most linux distributions have enabled
by default such bigger inodes and some people use nanosecond
timestamps in ext3. We now support those when the inode is big
enough and while we do recognize the EXT4F_ROCOMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE,
we maintain the extra timestamps even when they are not used.
An additional note by Bruce Evans:
We blindly accept unrepresentable tv_nsec in VOP_SETATTR(), but
all file systems have always done that. When POSIX gets around
to specifying the behaviour, it will probably require certain
rounding to the fs's resolution and not rejecting the request.
This unfortunately means that syscalls that set times can't
really tell if they succeeded without reading back the times
using stat() or similar and checking that they were set close
enough.

in the new NFS server for NFSv4, where it would report ENOENT
when the file actually existed on the server. This turned out
to be caused by not initializing ni_topdir before calling lookup()
and there was a rare case where the value on the stack location

This patch initializes ni_topdir to fix the problem.

significantly. Upon investigation this was caused by name cache
misses for lookups of "..". For name cache entries for non-".."
directories, the cache entry serves double duty. It maps both the
named directory plus ".." for the parent of the directory. As such,
two ctime values (one for each of the directory and its parent) need
to be saved in the name cache entry.
This patch adds an entry for ctime of the parent directory to the
name cache. It also adds an additional uma zone for large entries
with this time value, in order to minimize memory wastage.
As well, it fixes a couple of cases where the mtime of the parent
directory was being saved instead of ctime for positive name cache
entries. With this patch, Lookup RPC counts return to values similar
to pre-r230394 kernels.

"panic in 8.3-PRERELEASE" on Feb. 22, 2012. This panic was caused
by use of a mix of tsleep() and msleep() calls on the same event

in two places, which kib@ noted introduced a slight risk that the
wakeup() would occur before the tsleep(), resulting in a 10sec
delay before waking up. This patch fixes the problem by replacing
"mtx_unlock(); tsleep();" with mtx_sleep(..PDROP..). It also
changes a nfsmsleep() call to mtx_sleep() so that the code uses
mtx_sleep() consistently within the file.

a credential structure would corrupt it. This happened when the
p argument was != NULL. However, I now realize that the copying of
open credentials should only happen for p == NULL, since that indicates
that it is a read-ahead or write-behind. This patch fixes this.
After this commit, r228827 could be reverted, but I think the code is
clearer and safer with the patch, so I am going to leave it in.
Without this patch, it was possible that a NFSv4 VOP_SETATTR() could have
changed the credentials of the caller. This would have happened if
the process doing the VOP_SETATTR() did not have the file open, but
some other process running as a different uid had the file open for writing

mnt_noasync counter to temporary remove MNTK_ASYNC mount option, which
is needed to guarantee a synchronous completion of the initiated i/o
before syscall or VOP return. Global removal of MNTK_ASYNC option is
harmful because not only i/o started from corresponding thread becomes
synchronous, but all i/o is synchronous on the filesystem which is
initiated during sync(2) or syncer activity.
Instead of removing MNTK_ASYNC from mnt_kern_flag, provide a local
thread flag to disable async i/o for current thread only. Use the
opportunity to move DOINGASYNC() macro into sys/vnode.h and
consistently use it through places which tested for MNTK_ASYNC.
Some testing demonstrated 60-70% improvements in run time for the

- Use rt*fib() KPI with explicit RT_DEFAULT_FIB where applicable in

- Split in6_rtqtimo() and in6_mtutimo() as done in IPv4 and equally
prevent multiple initializations of callouts in in6_inithead().
- Use wrapper functions where needed to preserve the current KPI to
ease MFCs. Use BURN_BRIDGES to indicate expected future cleanup.
- Fix (related) comments (both technical or style).
- Convert to rtinit() where applicable and only use custom loops where
currently not possible otherwise.
- Multicast group, most neighbor discovery address actions and faith(4)

NFS clients was reported to freebsd-fs@ under the subject "NFS
corruption in recent HEAD" on Nov. 26, 2011. This problem occurred when
a TCP mounted root fs was changed to using UDP. I believe that this
problem was caused by the change in mnt_stat.f_iosize that occurred
because rsize was decreased to the maximum supported by UDP. This
patch fixes the problem by using v_bufobj.bo_bsize instead of f_iosize,
since the latter is set to f_iosize when the vnode is allocated, but
does not change for a given vnode when f_iosize changes.

entries on one client when a directory was renamed on another client. The
root cause for the stale entry being trusted is that each per-vnode nfsnode
structure has a single 'n_ctime' timestamp used to validate positive name
cache entries. However, if there are multiple entries for a single vnode,
they all share a single timestamp. To fix this, extend the name cache
to allow filesystems to optionally store a timestamp value in each name
cache entry. The NFS clients now fetch the timestamp associated with
each name cache entry and use that to validate cache hits instead of the
timestamps previously stored in the nfsnode. Another part of the fix is
that the NFS clients now use timestamps from the post-op attributes of
RPCs when adding name cache entries rather than pulling the timestamps out
of the file's attribute cache. The latter is subject to races with other
lookups updating the attribute cache concurrently. Some more details:
- Add a variant of nfsm_postop_attr() to the old NFS client that can return
a vattr structure with a copy of the post-op attributes.
- Handle lookups of "." as a special case in the NFS clients since the name
cache does not store name cache entries for ".", so we cannot get a
useful timestamp. It didn't really make much sense to recheck the
attributes on the the directory to validate the namecache hit for "."
anyway.
- ABI compat shims for the name cache routines are present in this commit
so that it is safe to MFC.

subject "Data corruption over NFS in -current". During investigation
of this, I came across an ugly bogusity in the new NFS client where
it replaced the cr_uid with the one used for the mount. This was
done so that "system operations" like the NFSv4 Renew would be
performed as the user that did the mount. However, if any other
thread shares the credential with the one doing this operation,
it could do an RPC (or just about anything else) as the wrong cr_uid.
This patch fixes the above, by using the mount credentials instead of
the one provided as an argument for this case. It appears
to have fixed Martin's problem.
This patch is needed for NFSv4 mounts and NFSv3 mounts against
some non-FreeBSD servers that do not put post operation attributes
in the NFSv3 Statfs RPC reply.
