Testing with it, there appears to be a race between Lookup
and VOPs like Setattr-of-size, where Lookup ends up loading
stale attributes (including what might be the wrong file size)
into the NFS vnode's attribute cache.
The race occurs when the modifying VOP (which holds a lock
on the vnode), blocks the acquisition of the vnode in Lookup,
after the RPC (with now potentially stale attributes).
Here's what seems to happen:
Child Parent
does stat(), which does
VOP_LOOKUP(), doing the Lookup
RPC with the directory vnode
locked, acquiring file attributes
valid at this point in time
blocks waiting for locked file does ftruncate(), which
vnode does VOP_SETATTR() of Size,
changing the file's size
while holding an exclusive
lock on the file's vnode
releases the vnode lock
acquires file vnode and fills in
now stale attributes including
the old wrong Size
does a read() which returns
wrong data size
This patch fixes the problem by saving a timestamp in the NFS vnode
in the VOPs that modify the file (Setattr-of-size, Allocate).
Then lookup/readdirplus compares that timestamp with the time just
before starting the RPC after it has acquired the file's vnode.
If the modifying RPC occurred during the Lookup, the attributes
in the RPC reply are discarded, since they might be stale.
With this patch the test program works as expected.
Note that the test program does not fail on a July stable/12,
although this race is in the NFS client code. I suspect a
fairly recent change to the name caching code exposed this
bug.

FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
