* Optimize caching behavior a bit when buffers are invalidated.

but is faster.

the server code would always skip all dir entries for a readdirplus
operation. To avoid endlessly retrying clients, try VFS_VGET first,
and it it fails, return NFSERR_NOTSUPP so that client will fall
back to normal readdir operations.

The truncation is done centralized in vnode_pager.c.

XXX I don't really like this, "locks" potentially suffer from the same
problem throughout the whole kernel; they should probably be FIFO everywhere.
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will

Clear pending signal when an unmount fails, this allows us another chance
at the umount after a short sleep. The fixes a problem where /usr is
mounted via nqnfs and the system hangs on shutdown since the umount()
always fails with EBUSY (inetd is still busy on usr) and since we don't
clear the signal we end up stuck looping and never give inetd a chance to
catch its SIGKILL.

Kirk's changes to prevent races when unmounting. (1) Unmount()
and vfs_unmountall() now call vfs_busy() so that they participates
in the mount structure locking scheme. Dounmount() calls vfs_unbusy()
to unlock things, and makes sure to wake up waiters if there's an
error. (2) The MFS and NQNFS daemons also now use vfs_busy() when
unmounting filesystems. Kirk restructured the code so that a
successful unmount by another process won't leave the possibility
that a daemon might reference a mount structure that has been freed.

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.

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().

Problem noted in PR #1308 (Kenneth Stailey) and PR #1780 (Chris Demetriou).
Fix suggested in PR #1780 by Chris Demetriou, and munged a bit by me,
and OK'd by Frank van der Linden <fvdl@netbsd.org>.
Improve the queuing algorithms used by NFS' asynchronous i/o. The
existing mechanism uses a global queue for some buffers and the
vp->b_dirtyblkhd queue for others. This turns sequential writes into
randomly ordered writes to the server, affecting both read and write
performance. The existing mechanism also copes badly with hung
servers, tending to block accesses to other servers when all the iods
are waiting for a hung server.
The new mechanism uses a queue for each mount point. All asynchronous
i/o goes through this queue which preserves the ordering of requests.
A simple mechanism ensures that the iods are shared out fairly between
active mount points.

XID confusions with servers that cache them over a long period and
with clients that reboot quickly.
Problems: because of the sanity check that is done by comparing the system
time with filesystem time, XIDs will start at 0 until root is mounted,
which means it isn't completely safe for diskless setups. But it's clearly
better than it was. It would also be cleaner if all XID handling (more
generally, all RPC handling) within the kernel went through the
same functions.
This takes care of two related problems:
- `umount -f' wouldn't work if someone's working directory is
the filesystem root.
- vfs_unmountall() would complain about a busy `/' on a
diskless setup.

each entry, and read them out in nfs_readdir().
Caveat: our current caching method for directory blocks uses the
server offset of the first directory entry as an identifier, so a
Linux emulation getdirentries() will wind up retrieving one block from
the NFS server for each directory entry, unnecessarily thrashing the
cache. The situation isn't as bad for other emulations.
Instead of getblk(), we need to write a routine to scan each cache
block associated with vp to find a cookie that matches at some
directory entry. Some later time.
