conditional content depending on if the NFS client is wanted or
not. The server can now be made an independent module not depending
on the nfs client.
Tested with rump_nfs (standalone client), rump_nfsd (standalone
nfsd) and a qemu installation with both the client and the server.
While touching all vptofh/fhtovp functions, get rid of VFS_MAXFIDSIZ,
version the getfh(2) syscall and explicitly pass the size available in
the filehandle from userland.
Discussed on tech-kern, with lots of help from yamt (thanks!).
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)

- don't bother to take nfs_sndlock when doing nfsrv_rcv.
unlike client, we never reconnect.
- nfsrv_getstream: fix the case that m_split sleeps.
- free socket in nfsrv_slpderef rather than nfsrv_zapsock.
fix race with nfssvc_nfsd.
- while i'm here, remove NFSD_WAITING and NFSD_REQINPROG
as they are redundant.
- some comments and assertions.
- Remove all NFS related stuff from file system specific code.
- Drop the vfs_checkexp hook and generalize it in the new nfs_check_export
function, thus removing redundancy from all file systems.
- Move all NFS export-related stuff from kern/vfs_subr.c to the new
file sys/nfs/nfs_export.c. The former was becoming large and its code
is always compiled, regardless of the build options. Using the latter,
the code is only compiled in when NFSSERVER is enabled. While doing this,
also make some functions in nfs_subs.c conditional to NFSSERVER.
- Add a new command in nfssvc(2), called NFSSVC_SETEXPORTSLIST, that takes a
path and a set of export entries. At the moment it can only clear the
exports list or append entries, one by one, but it is done in a way that
allows setting the whole set of entries atomically in the future (see the
comment in mountd_set_exports_list or in doc/TODO).
- Change mountd(8) to use the nfssvc(2) system call instead of mount(2) so
that it becomes file system agnostic. In fact, all this whole thing was
done to remove a 'XXX' block from this utility!
- Change the mount*, newfs and fsck* userland utilities to not deal with NFS
exports initialization; done internally by the kernel when initializing
the NFS support for each file system.
- Implement an interface for VFS (called VFS hooks) so that several kernel
subsystems can run arbitrary code upon receipt of specific VFS events.
At the moment, this only provides support for unmount and is used to
destroy NFS exports lists from the file systems being unmounted, though it
has room for extension.

and advice in the development of this patch.
Increase NFS_MAXRAHEAD to 32. With 32k read or write requests, that
amounts to 1 Mbyte of read-ahead, enough to cover about 10 ms latency
at gigabit Ethernet speeds. Increase the table of nfsiod kthreads
(NFS_MAXASYNCDAEMON) from 20 to 128, to match the raised value of
NFS_MAXRAHEAD. (Making the limit dynamic requires replacing the
compile-time array with a dynamic structure.)
Add a comment explaining that each read-ahead requires an I/O thread.
Wrap both parameters with an #ifdef <parameter>/#endif, to allow
hand-tuned values or (later) a kernel config-file option override.
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.
adjusted via sysctl. file systems that have hash tables which are
sized based on the value of this variable now resize those hash tables
using the new value. the max number of FFS softdeps is also recalculated.
convert various file systems to use the <sys/queue.h> macros for
their hash tables.
of nfs_niothreads instead of hard-coding 4.
This change has the advantage that the default can be specified
at compile time. If the root filesystem is mounted over NFS
we don't have an opportunity to use the syscall to limit the
number of threads. Useful on small-memory machines.
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.
