dc59250c6e [PATCH] NFS: Introduce the use of inode->i_lock to protect fields in nfsi
Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely
from the NFS client.  To do this, we need to protect the fields in the
nfs_inode structure adequately.  Start by serializing updates to the
"cache_validity" field.

Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes
deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the
"cache_validity" field without proper serialization.

Test plan:
 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.  Run Nick Wilson's breaknfs program on
 large SMP clients.

5529680981 [PATCH] NFS: split nfsi->flags into two fields
Certain bits in nfsi->flags can be manipulated with atomic bitops, and some
are better manipulated via logical bitmask operations.

This patch splits the flags field into two.  The next patch introduces atomic
bitops for one of the fields.

Test plan:
 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.

5c6a9f7d92 [PATCH] NFS: Cache the NFSv3 acls.
Attach acls to inodes in the icache to avoid unnecessary GETACL RPC
 round-trips.  As long as the client doesn't retrieve any acls itself, only the
 default acls of exiting directories and the default and access acls of new
 directories will end up in the cache, which preserves some memory compared to
 always caching the access and default acl of all files.

055ffbea05 [PATCH] NFS: Fix handling of the umask when an NFSv3 default acl is present.
NFSv3 has no concept of a umask on the server side: The client applies
 the umask locally, and sends the effective permissions to the server.
 This behavior is wrong when files are created in a directory that has a
 default ACL.  In this case, the umask is supposed to be ignored, and
 only the default ACL determines the file's effective permissions.

 Usually its the server's task to conditionally apply the umask.  But
 since the server knows nothing about the umask, we have to do it on the
 client side.  This patch tries to fetch the parent directory's default
 ACL before creating a new file, computes the appropriate create mode to
 send to the server, and finally sets the new file's access and default
 acl appropriately.

 Many thanks to Buck Huppmann <buchk@pobox.com> for sending the initial
 version of this patch, as well as for arguing why we need this change.

b7fa0554cf [PATCH] NFS: Add support for NFSv3 ACLs
This adds acl support fo nfs clients via the NFSACL protocol extension, by
 implementing the getxattr, listxattr, setxattr, and removexattr iops for the
 system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default attributes.  This patch
 implements a dumb version that uses no caching (and thus adds some overhead).
 (Another patch in this patchset adds caching as well.)
