First cut of NFS direct IO support.
- NFS direct IO completely bypasses the buffer and page caches.
If a file is open for direct IO all caching is disabled.
- Direct IO for Directories will be addressed later.
- 2 new NFS directio related sysctls are added. One is a knob to
disable NFS direct IO completely (direct IO is enabled by default).
The other is to disallow mmaped IO on a file that has at least one
O_DIRECT open (see the comment in nfs_vnops.c for more details).
The default is to allow mmaps on a file that has O_DIRECT opens.

Correct a typo in a comment.

For reasons unknown, the nfs locking code used a fifo to send requests to
userland and a dedicated system call to get replies.

The vnode-bypass of fifos broke this into a panic.

For reasons unknown, the nfs locking code used a fifo to send requests to
userland and a dedicated system call to get replies.

The vnode-bypass of fifos broke this into a panic.

Ditch all the magic and create a device /dev/nfslock instead, and
use that for both directions apart from the shorter path, this is
also faster because the device driver runs Giant free using the
vnode bypass.

Rebind the client socket when we experience a timeout. This fixes

Signal a VFS event when NFS transitions from up to down and vice

Also:
Make down NFS mounts return EIO instead of EINTR when there is a
soft timeout or force unmount in progress.

In namei(), we use a NULL thread for uio_td when doing a VOP_READLINK().
nfs_readlink() calls nfs_bioread() which passes in uio_td as the thread
argument to nfs_getcacheblk(). In nfs_getcacheblk() we dereference the
thread pointer to get a process pointer to pass to nfs_sigintr(). This
obviously results in a panic. :)

Rather than change nfs_getcacheblk() to check if the thread pointer is
NULL when calling nfs_sigintr() like other callers do, change
nfs_sigintr() to take a thread as the last argument instead of a
process so none of the callers have to care if the thread is NULL or not.

Permit NFS filesystems to be forcibly unmounted when the server is
down, even if there are hung processes and the mount is non-
interruptible.

This works by having nfs_unmount call a new function nfs_nmcancelreqs()
in the FORCECLOSE case. It scans the list of outstanding requests
and marks as interrupted any requests belonging to the specified
mount. Then it waits up to 30 seconds for all requests to terminate.
A few other changes are necessary to support this:
- Unconditionally set a socket timeout so that even hard mounts
are guaranteed to occasionally check the R_SOFTTERM flag on
requests. For hard mounts this flag can only be set by
nfs_nmcancelreqs().
- Reject requests on a mount that is currently being unmounted.
- Never grant the receive lock to a request that has been cancelled.

This should also avoid an old problem where a forced NFS unmount
could cause a crash; it occurred when a VOP on an unlocked vnode
(usually VOP_GETATTR) was in progress at the time of the forced
unmount.

This fixes a large number of bugs in our NFS client side code. A recent
commit by Kirk also fixed a softupdates bug that could easily be triggered
by server side NFS.

* An edge case with shared R+W mmap()'s and truncate whereby
the system would inappropriately clear the dirty bits on
still-dirty data. (applicable to all filesystems)

THIS FIX TEMPORARILY DISABLED PENDING FURTHER TESTING.
see vm/vm_page.c line 1641

* The straddle case for VM pages and buffer cache buffers when
truncating. (applicable to NFS client side)

* Possible SMP database corruption due to vm_pager_unmap_page()
not clearing the TLB for the other cpu's. (applicable to NFS
client side but could effect all filesystems). Note: not
considered serious since the corruption occurs beyond the file
EOF.

* When flusing a dirty buffer due to B_CACHE getting cleared,
we were accidently setting B_CACHE again (that is, bwrite() sets
B_CACHE), when we really want it to stay clear after the write
is complete. This resulted in a corrupt buffer. (applicable
to all filesystems but probably only triggered by NFS)

* We have to call vtruncbuf() when ftruncate()ing to remove
any buffer cache buffers. This is still tentitive, I may
be able to remove it due to the second bug fix. (applicable
to NFS client side)

* vnode_pager_setsize() race against nfs_vinvalbuf()... we have
to set n_size before calling nfs_vinvalbuf or the NFS code
may recursively vnode_pager_setsize() to the original value
before the truncate. This is what was causing the user mmap
bus faults in the nfs tester program. (applicable to NFS
client side)

* Fix to softupdates (see ufs/ffs/ffs_inode.c 1.73, commit made
by Kirk).
