nfs-utils: Increase the stdio file buffer size for procfs files
Previously, when writing to /proc/net/rpc/*/channel, if a cache line
were larger than the default buffer size (likely 1024 bytes), mountd
and svcgssd would split writes into a number of buffer-sized writes.
Each of these writes would get an EINVAL error back from the kernel
procfs handle (it expects line-oriented input and does not account for
multiple/split writes), and no cache update would occur.
When such behavior occurs, NFS clients depending on mountd to finish
the cache operation would block/hang, or receive EPERM, depending on
the context of the operation. This is likely to happen if a user is a
member of a large (~100-200) number of groups.
Instead, every fopen() on the procfs files in question is followed by
a call to setvbuf(), using a per-file dedicated buffer of
RPC_CHAN_BUF_SIZE length.
Really, mountd should not be using stdio-style buffered file operations
on files in /proc to begin with. A better solution would be to use
internally managed buffers and calls to write() instead of these stdio
calls, but that would be a more extensive change; so this is proposed
as a quick and not-so-dirty fix in the meantime.
