missing files in readdir(3) on NFS export of ZFS volume (since v28?)

[Pierre Beyssac]

Hello,

I'm running a 9-current server as compiled on Sat Mar  5 02:17:14
CET 2011.

Since I upgraded to ZFS v28 I noticed missing files from NFS. The
files are still accessible through NFS but they don't show up on a
readdir(3).

On the NFS server (files are stored on a ZFS v15 volume, not yet
upgraded to the v28 format):

% cd /usr/ports/devel/autoconf
% ls -i
311401 Makefile         204505 files            204509 pkg-plist
204504 distinfo         204508 pkg-descr

On the NFS client side (FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE):

% cd /usr/ports/devel/autoconf
% ls -i
204504 distinfo         204508 pkg-descr
204505 files            204509 pkg-plist

Yet the missing file can be accessed:
% head -3 Makefile
# New ports collection makefile for:    autoconf
# Date created:         7th December 2006
# Whom:                 ade at FreeBSD.org

Note that the missing files are scattered throughout the volume,
no relation to the inode number, as shown on a diff:

Reverting to an old 9-current kernel (January 10, before the ZFS
v28 patches) fixes the problem...
