The code in sys/nfs/nfs_lock.c has not been run by default since March 2008
when it was replaced by the in kernel sys/nlm code.
It uses Giant, so it needs to be removed before the FreeBSD 13 release.
This will happen in a couple of months, since few if any users run
the code anyhow and can easily switch to the default in kernel NFSLOCKD.
Using of rwlock with multiqueue NICs for IP forwarding on high pps
produces high lock contention and inefficient. Rmlock fits better for
such workloads.

This code merge adds a pNFS service to the NFSv4.1 server. Although it is
a large commit it should not affect behaviour for a non-pNFS NFS server.
Some documentation on how this works can be found at:
http://people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem/pnfs-planb-setup.txt
and will hopefully be turned into a proper document soon.
This is a merge of the kernel code. Userland and man page changes will
come soon, once the dust settles on this merge.
It has passed a "make universe", so I hope it will not cause build problems.
It also adds NFSv4.1 server support for the "current stateid".
Here is a brief overview of the pNFS service:
A pNFS service separates the Read/Write oeprations from all the other NFSv4.1
Metadata operations. It is hoped that this separation allows a pNFS service
to be configured that exceeds the limits of a single NFS server for either
storage capacity and/or I/O bandwidth.
It is possible to configure mirroring within the data servers (DSs) so that
the data storage file for an MDS file will be mirrored on two or more of
the DSs.
When this is used, failure of a DS will not stop the pNFS service and a
failed DS can be recovered once repaired while the pNFS service continues
to operate. Although two way mirroring would be the norm, it is possible
to set a mirroring level of up to four or the number of DSs, whichever is
less.
The Metadata server will always be a single point of failure,
just as a single NFS server is.
A Plan B pNFS service consists of a single MetaData Server (MDS) and K
Data Servers (DS), all of which are recent FreeBSD systems.
Clients will mount the MDS as they would a single NFS server.
When files are created, the MDS creates a file tree identical to what a
single NFS server creates, except that all the regular (VREG) files will
be empty. As such, if you look at the exported tree on the MDS directly
on the MDS server (not via an NFS mount), the files will all be of size 0.
Each of these files will also have two extended attributes in the system
attribute name space:
pnfsd.dsfile - This extended attrbute stores the information that
the MDS needs to find the data storage file(s) on DS(s) for this file.
pnfsd.dsattr - This extended attribute stores the Size, AccessTime, ModifyTime
and Change attributes for the file, so that the MDS doesn't need to
acquire the attributes from the DS for every Getattr operation.
For each regular (VREG) file, the MDS creates a data storage file on one
(or more if mirroring is enabled) of the DSs in one of the "dsNN"
subdirectories. The name of this file is the file handle
of the file on the MDS in hexadecimal so that the name is unique.
The DSs use subdirectories named "ds0" to "dsN" so that no one directory
gets too large. The value of "N" is set via the sysctl vfs.nfsd.dsdirsize
on the MDS, with the default being 20.
For production servers that will store a lot of files, this value should
probably be much larger.
It can be increased when the "nfsd" daemon is not running on the MDS,
once the "dsK" directories are created.
For pNFS aware NFSv4.1 clients, the FreeBSD server will return two pieces
of information to the client that allows it to do I/O directly to the DS.
DeviceInfo - This is relatively static information that defines what a DS
is. The critical bits of information returned by the FreeBSD
server is the IP address of the DS and, for the Flexible
File layout, that NFSv4.1 is to be used and that it is
"tightly coupled".
There is a "deviceid" which identifies the DeviceInfo.
Layout - This is per file and can be recalled by the server when it
is no longer valid. For the FreeBSD server, there is support
for two types of layout, call File and Flexible File layout.
Both allow the client to do I/O on the DS via NFSv4.1 I/O
operations. The Flexible File layout is a more recent variant
that allows specification of mirrors, where the client is
expected to do writes to all mirrors to maintain them in a
consistent state. The Flexible File layout also allows the
client to report I/O errors for a DS back to the MDS.
The Flexible File layout supports two variants referred to as
"tightly coupled" vs "loosely coupled". The FreeBSD server always
uses the "tightly coupled" variant where the client uses the
same credentials to do I/O on the DS as it would on the MDS.
For the "loosely coupled" variant, the layout specifies a
synthetic user/group that the client uses to do I/O on the DS.
The FreeBSD server does not do striping and always returns
layouts for the entire file. The critical information in a layout
is Read vs Read/Writea and DeviceID(s) that identify which
DS(s) the data is stored on.
At this time, the MDS generates File Layout layouts to NFSv4.1 clients
that know how to do pNFS for the non-mirrored DS case unless the sysctl
vfs.nfsd.default_flexfile is set non-zero, in which case Flexible File
layouts are generated.
The mirrored DS configuration always generates Flexible File layouts.
For NFS clients that do not support NFSv4.1 pNFS, all I/O operations
are done against the MDS which acts as a proxy for the appropriate DS(s).
When the MDS receives an I/O RPC, it will do the RPC on the DS as a proxy.
If the DS is on the same machine, the MDS/DS will do the RPC on the DS as
a proxy and so on, until the machine runs out of some resource, such as
session slots or mbufs.
As such, DSs must be separate systems from the MDS.

This change adds two new tunables, allowing to control serialization for
read and write NFS requests separately. It does not change the default
behavior since there are too many factors to consider, but gives additional
space for further experiments and tuning.
The main motivation for this change is very low write speed in case of ZFS
with sync=always or when NFS clients requests sychronous operation, when
every separate request has to be written/flushed to ZIL, and requests are
processed one at a time. Setting vfs.nfsd.fha.write=0 in that case allows
to increase ZIL throughput by several times by coalescing writes and cache
flushes. There is a worry that doing it may increase data fragmentation
on disks, but I suppose it should not happen for pool with SLOG.

When an NFS mount is hung against an unresponsive NFS server, the "umount -f"
option can be used to dismount the mount. Unfortunately, "umount -f" gets
hung as well if a "umount" without "-f" has already been done. Usually,
this is because of a vnode lock being held by the "umount" for the mounted-on
vnode.
This patch adds kernel code so that a new "-N" option can be added to "umount",
allowing it to avoid getting hung for this case.
It adds two flags. One indicates that a forced dismount is about to happen
and the other is used, along with setting mnt_data == NULL, to handshake
with the nfs_unmount() VFS call.
It includes a slight change to the interface used between the client and
common NFS modules, so I bumped __FreeBSD_version to ensure both modules are
rebuilt.

Issue is that boottime* should be adjusted from tc_windup(), which

preparation, this commit only introduces the interface.
Some uses of boottime were found doubtful, e.g. NLM uses boottime to

only the first one will actually work and all the others just result in
errors (which would get printed but otherwise ignored).
Instead, wait until we make a choice of which interface will be used to
mount the rootfs, and install the default route associated with it (if any).
After doing the md_mount() call to obtain the needed info, remove the
default route again, and transcribe the route info into the nfs_diskless
structure. If the system eventually chooses to mount the nfs rootfs, the
default route will be installed again when the nfs_diskless code
re-initializes the interface.
The theory here is that since we can only have one default route, the one
most likely to be correct for mounting the rootfs is the one that was
delivered along with the rootpath option.
bootp/dhcp server doesn't provide a router option. Doing so prevents
setting defaultrouter=<ip> in rc.conf (it fails because there's already
a bogus default route installed by bootpc_init).
When an admin wants to use this style of proxy arp on an interface, the
proper mechanism is to set the "use-lease-addr-for-default-route" flag
in the dhcp server config. That causes the lease address to be delivered
in the routers option, and the normal handling of the routers option will
then install the self-ip as the default route.

There are number of radix consumers in kernel land (pf,ipfw,nfs,route)
with different requirements. In fact, first 3 don't have _any_ requirements
and first 2 does not use radix locking. On the other hand, routing
structure do have these requirements (rnh_gen, multipath, custom
to-be-added control plane functions, different locking).
Additionally, radix should not known anything about its consumers internals.
So, radix code now uses tiny 'struct radix_head' structure along with
internal 'struct radix_mask_head' instead of 'struct radix_node_head'.
Existing consumers still uses the same 'struct radix_node_head' with
slight modifications: they need to pass pointer to (embedded)
'struct radix_head' to all radix callbacks.
Routing code now uses new 'struct rib_head' with different locking macro:
RADIX_NODE_HEAD prefix was renamed to RIB_ (which stands for routing
information base).
New net/route_var.h header was added to hold routing subsystem internal
data. 'struct rib_head' was placed there. 'struct rtentry' will also
be moved there soon.
option that will be added to the nfsuserd daemon in a future
commit. It modifies the cache used by NFSv4 for name<-->id
translation (both username/uid and group/gid) to support this.
When "-manage-gids" is set, the server looks up each uid
for the RPC and uses the list of groups cached in the server
instead of the list of groups provided in the RPC request.
The cached group list is acquired for the cache by the nfsuserd
daemon via getgrouplist(3).
This avoids the 16 groups limit for the list in the RPC request.
Since the cache is now used for every RPC when "-manage-gids"
is enabled, the code also modifies the cache to use a separate
mutex for each hash list instead of a single global mutex.

other than the one specified by the BOOTP server. This configures NFS
using the BOOTP protocol while also respecting other root-path options such
as setting vfs.root.mountfrom in the environment or using the RB_DFLTROOT
boot option. It allows you to override the root path provided by the
server, or to supply a root path when the server provides IP configuration
but no root path info.
This maintains the historical BOOTP_NFSROOT behavior of panicking on a
failure to mount the root path provided by the server, unless you've
provided an alternative via the ROOTDEVNAME kernel option or by setting
vfs.root.mountfrom. The behavior of panicking when given no other options
is preserved because it amounts to a bit of a retry loop that could
eventually recover from a transient network or server problem.
The user can now override the root path from loader(8) even if the
kernel is compiled with BOOTP_NFSROOT. If vfs.root.mountfrom is set in
the environment it is used unconditionally -- it always overrides the
BOOTP info. If it begins with [old]nfs: then the BOOTP code uses it
instead of the server-provided info. If it specifies some other
filesystem then the bootp code will not panic like it used to and the code
in vfs_mountroot.c will invoke the right filesystem to do the mount.
If the kernel is compiled with the ROOTDEVNAME option, then that name is
used by the BOOTP code if either
* The server doesn't provide a pathname.
* The boothowto flags include RB_DFLTROOT.
The latter allows the user to compile in alternate path in ROOTDEVNAME
such as ufs:/dev/da0s1a and boot from that path by setting
boot_dftlroot=1 in loader(8) or using the '-r' option in boot(8).
The one thing not provided here is automatic failover from a
server-provided path to a compiled-in one without the user manually
requesting that. The code just isn't currently structured in a way that
makes that possible with a lot of rewrite. I think the ability to set
vfs.root.mountfrom and to use ROOTDEVNAME automatically when the server
doesn't provide a name covers the most common needs.
A set of patches submitted by Lars Eggert provided the part I couldn't
figure out by myself when I tried to do this last year; many thanks.
