that required to support NFSv2 mounts. Not finished yet, but already
provides some 44k of saving in code size on arm26. More savings, and some
documentation, are still to come.
in vfs_detach(). vfs_done may free global filesystem's resources,
typically those allocated in respective filesystem's init function.
Needed so those filesystems which went in via LKM have a chance to
clean after themselves before unloading. This fixes random panics
when LKM for filesystem using pools was loaded and unloaded several
times.
For each leaf filesystem, add appropriate vfs_done routine.
the directory cache as translation table. See nfs_subs.c for comments.
Makes the code a bit more complex to look at than I would have liked,
but doesn't affect the speed of the default behavior.
* Optimize caching behavior a bit when buffers are invalidated.
* Save some RPCs in readdir operations by not bothering if there is
a small amount left to do to fill the buffer. It'll be done in the
next RPC with a larger chunk anyway. Wastes a bit of buffer space
but is faster.
* Make n_vattr an allocated vattr struct. This avoids nfsnode bloat,
and is friendlier to the malloc routines.
directory cookie that may be thrown back at us from userspace, up
to a size limit. Fixes double entry problem.
* Split flags for internal and external use in the NFS mount structure.
* Fix some buffer structure fields that weren're being used correctly.
* Fix missing directory cache inval call in nfs_open.
* Limit on NFS_DIRBLKSIZ no longer needed, bumped to the more reasonable
value of 8k.
* Various other things that I forget, all related to the dir caching
somehow, though.

Because NFS doesn't implement vnode locking, nfs_inactive() doesn't really
have the vnode locked and hence it can't reliably access the vnode after
it performs a blocking operation. We remove one blocking call and push
the no-op VOP_UNLOCK higher so that we don't access the vnode after we
delete the sillyrename file. This should prevent crashes we've seen in
which the vnode turned into a UFS vnode and caused a panic in ufs_unlock()
when we tried to 'unlock' it.

Kirk's change to not corrupt files after a delete.

Krik's change to solve the paradox that vclean() calls nfs_inactive()
with VXLOCK set on the vnode, and nfs_inactive() was calling vget()
to get a reference on the vnode, which in turn hung on VXLOCK.
Nfs_inactive() now checks v_usecount to make sure that the vnode
is not coming from vclean() before it does a vget().
(1) it's unnecessary
(2) it causes machines to hang (yup!)
(3) it'd be gone in a few days anyway (it'd been yanked out
of 4.4-Lite by macklem long ago)
It was only there because macklem couldn't originally decide if things
should be locked, or not...
