fixed the issues with file descriptor locks, but the same problems are
present for vnode lock/user map lock.
If the nfs_asyncio() cannot find the free nfsiod, schedule task to
create new nfsiod and return error. This causes fall back to the
synchronous i/o for nfs_strategy(), or does not start read at all in
the case of readahead. The caller that holds vnode and potentially
user map lock does not wait for kproc_create() to finish, preventing
the LORs.
The change effectively reverts r203072, because we never hand off the
request to newly created nfsiod thread anymore.

Without this patch it was possible for a different thread that calls
nfs_asyncio() to snitch a newly created nfsiod thread that was
intended for another caller of nfs_asyncio(), because the nfs_iod_mtx
mutex was unlocked while the new nfsiod thread was created. This patch
labels the newly created nfsiod, so that it is not taken by another
caller of nfs_asyncio(). This is believed to fix the problem reported

I have fixed the reported problems - if you still have trouble with it, please
contact me with as much detail as possible so that I can track down any other
issues as quickly as possible.

to continue testing the new code or who need RPCSEC_GSS support should use

and server. This replaces the RPC implementation of the NFS client and
server with the newer RPC implementation originally developed
(actually ported from the userland sunrpc code) to support the NFS
Lock Manager. I have tested this code extensively and I believe it is
stable and that performance is at least equal to the legacy RPC
implementation.
The NFS code currently contains support for both the new RPC
implementation and the older legacy implementation inherited from the
original NFS codebase. The default is to use the new implementation -
add the NFS_LEGACYRPC option to fall back to the old code. When I
merge this support back to RELENG_7, I will probably change this so
that users have to 'opt in' to get the new code.
To use RPCSEC_GSS on either client or server, you must build a kernel
which includes the KGSSAPI option and the crypto device. On the
userland side, you must build at least a new libc, mountd, mount_nfs
and gssd. You must install new versions of /etc/rc.d/gssd and
/etc/rc.d/nfsd and add 'gssd_enable=YES' to /etc/rc.conf.
As long as gssd is running, you should be able to mount an NFS
filesystem from a server that requires RPCSEC_GSS authentication. The
mount itself can happen without any kerberos credentials but all
access to the filesystem will be denied unless the accessing user has
a valid ticket file in the standard place (/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>). There
is currently no support for situations where the ticket file is in a
different place, such as when the user logged in via SSH and has
delegated credentials from that login. This restriction is also
present in Solaris and Linux. In theory, we could improve this in
future, possibly using Brooks Davis' implementation of variant
symlinks.
Supporting RPCSEC_GSS on a server is nearly as simple. You must create
service creds for the server in the form 'nfs/<fqdn>@<REALM>' and
install them in /etc/krb5.keytab. The standard heimdal utility ktutil
makes this fairly easy. After the service creds have been created, you
can add a '-sec=krb5' option to /etc/exports and restart both mountd
and nfsd.
The only other difference an administrator should notice is that nfsd
doesn't fork to create service threads any more. In normal operation,
there will be two nfsd processes, one in userland waiting for TCP
connections and one in the kernel handling requests. The latter
process will create as many kthreads as required - these should be
visible via 'top -H'. The code has some support for varying the number
of service threads according to load but initially at least, nfsd uses
a fixed number of threads according to the value supplied to its '-n'
option.

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.

argument to nfs_getcacheblk(). In nfs_getcacheblk() we dereference the

obviously results in a panic. :)
Rather than change nfs_getcacheblk() to check if the thread pointer is
NULL when calling nfs_sigintr() like other callers do, change
nfs_sigintr() to take a thread as the last argument instead of a
process so none of the callers have to care if the thread is NULL or not.

down, even if there are hung processes and the mount is non-
interruptible.
This works by having nfs_unmount call a new function nfs_nmcancelreqs()
in the FORCECLOSE case. It scans the list of outstanding requests
and marks as interrupted any requests belonging to the specified
mount. Then it waits up to 30 seconds for all requests to terminate.
A few other changes are necessary to support this:
- Unconditionally set a socket timeout so that even hard mounts
are guaranteed to occasionally check the R_SOFTTERM flag on
requests. For hard mounts this flag can only be set by
nfs_nmcancelreqs().
- Reject requests on a mount that is currently being unmounted.
- Never grant the receive lock to a request that has been cancelled.
This should also avoid an old problem where a forced NFS unmount
could cause a crash; it occurred when a VOP on an unlocked vnode
(usually VOP_GETATTR) was in progress at the time of the forced
unmount.
