--- Comment #3 from Konstantin Belousov <kib@FreeBSD.org> ---
NFS is not POSIX compliant, for many reasons besides mmap.  It is inherent =
in
the protocol.  This is not going to change.

FWIW, try to think how could reliable write-back from client to server on m=
map
could be implemented?  System has the cache on client, and the data on serv=
er.
You need to implement coherency for async userspace writes to the cached pa=
ges
which are invisible to OS until it actively queries for dirty page status.

The only known reliable way is to make each write fault to detect it.  Then=
 you
will complain about performance being 100x times worse than now.
