is opened. An open file can always be read from and/or written to,
depending on how it was opened.
Therefore, the read/write/commit RPCs should never return EACCESS,
as they are only performed on files that have been successfully opened
already.
This change improves the current situation and works in most cases.
It simply always uses the most recently known owner/group of the file,
iff the authentication mechanism is AUTH_UNIX (in other cases, the
creds for a succesful open are used, but note that no other cases
are currently implemented).
A retry mechanism can be used to catch a few more cases, but this is
a good improvement for now.
it has a bug in the backoff calculation. so,
- clip it to 1-60 sec. (suggested by Rick Macklem)
- use a constant multiplier instead of nfs_backoff, which
is already exponential.
- move some related constant definations to nfs.h from nqnfs.h and
prefix with NFS_ instead of NQ_ because they are not nqnfs-specific.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
instead of "struct vnode". This saves a number of pointer dereferences;
it sums up to about half a kB for me. And it paves the way for future
fixes.
While cleaning up, eliminate a write-only member of "struct nfsreq"
and a pointless assignment in the NFS_V2_ONLY case.
Do a little mbuf rework while here. Change all uses of MGET*(*, M_WAIT, *)
to m_get*(M_WAIT, *). These are not performance critical and making them
call m_get saves considerable space. Add m_clget analogue of MCLGET and
make corresponding change for M_WAIT uses.
Modify netinet, gem, fxp, tulip, nfs to support MBUFTRACE.
Begin to change netstat to use sysctl.
malloc types into a structure, a pointer to which is passed around,
instead of an int constant. Allow the limit to be adjusted when the
malloc type is defined, or with a function call, as suggested by
Jonathan Stone.
rather than using home-grown code to find a free reserved socket.
this also results in nfs pcb's having the INP_ANONPORT and INP_LOWPORT flags
set, which is useful for netstat(1) to know.
struct nfssvc_sock.
Affected only when a recordmark of RPC over TCP is fragmented to
multiple mbufs. I do not know whether this code has ever been executed :)
passed it down to the appropriate usrreq function, and this
allows usage for contexts that need to be explicitly different
from curproc (like in the NFS code when binding to a reserved port).
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.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
shutdown:
During an unmount, wake up all the processes which are waiting to lock
the socket for receive, and wait for them (and the process blocked in
soreceive, if any) to go away before blowing away the socket and the
mount structure.
