anyone else can get to it, by checking if a reply was received, and it
has thus become unnecessary to take the lock. From FreeBSD.
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
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.

From Chris: Nfs_link() called vput() on the wrong vnode when aborting
from a cross-device link, which could (and did) lead to crashes.

Return EOPNOTSUPP when trying to do a setattr with flags.

Also (from BSDI too, but the RCS message did not quite describe the change
to this particular file well): move the EROFS a bit further down to
let VOP_ACCESS do it's work and return an 'expected' error value to
a possible layered filesystem.

Change splsoftclock() to splnet();
Make nfsrv_getstream create two copies of data when
splitting up an mbuf rather than two references to the
same external buffer. The symptom this fixes is client
hangs.

In nfsrv_access(), if VOP_ACCESS() returns an error and the
error == EPERM or its not the owner doing the access, return the error.

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.

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().

- If any part of the NFS root mount process fails, don't panic.
Simply return the appropriate error and let the caller recover.
'const char *', and 'void *', respectively. The second arg is taken directly
from user arguments, and is const there, so must be const in the prototypes
and functions. The third arg is also taken directly from user arguments.
It doesn't have to be changed, but since it's cleaner to keep the type
the same as the user arg's type, and I'm already making the 'const char *'
change...
the client and server/shared data initialization into separate functions,
and calling the server/shared initialization directly from main().
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.

struct member cn_nameptr 'const', since they should never be used to
modify the path name. (Only the pathname buffer, cn_pnbuf, should be
modified.) Propagate the const poisoning to code that uses the namei

- Try V3 first for diskless booting. Fall back to V2 if V3 fails.
- optionally (option NFS_BOOT_TCP) try a TCP mount first
for diskless booting. Fall back to UDP if it fails.
- Enable switching between UDP and TCP for remounts.
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.
