Oh, one additional thing that I'll dare to top post...
r367492 broke the TCP upcalls that the NFS server uses, such
that intermittent hangs of NFS mounts to FreeBSD13 servers can occur.
This has not yet been resolved in "main" etc and could explain
why an RPC could time out for a soft mount.
You can revert the patch in r367492 to avoid the problem.
Disabling TSO, LRO are also de-facto standard things to do when
you observe weird NFS behaviour, because they are often broken
in various network device drivers.

The likely explanation for this is your use of a "soft" mount.
- If the NFS server is slow to respond or there is a temporary network issue,
the RPC request can time out and then the
syscall can fail with EINT/ETIMEDOUT. Since almost nothing, including the
readdir(3) libc functions expect syscalls to fail this way...
Then the cached directory is messed up.
Doing the "ls" read the directory again and fixed the problem.
Try to reproduce it for a mount without the "soft" option.
(If a mount point is hung, due to an unresponsive server "umount -N /mnt"
can usually get rid of it.)
Personally, I thought "soft" was a bad idea when Sun introduced it in NFS in
1985
and I still feel that way.
--> If you can reproduce it without "soft" then I can't explain it.
To be honest, the directory reading/caching code in the NFSv3 client
hasn't changed significantly in literally decades, as far as I can
remember.
One additional thing to note is that cached directory contents are invalidated
when the directory's ctime changes. I am not sure how/if/when ZFS changes a
directory's ctime. However, if it was badly broken, I'd hear about this a lot.
(If the ZFS change to ZoL has changed its ctime handling, that might also
explain it
and I'll be hearing a lot more soon as FreeBSD13 becomes adopted. I never use
ZFS and,
as such, never test with it.)
--> For UFS, if you use mtime, directory caching does not work as well, which is
why the client directory caching code uses ctime and not mtime to detect
that
a directory has changed and cached directory blocks need to be
invalidated.
Jason Bacon did report a directory reading issue some months ago that never
quite got resolved, although I recall he said he couldn't reproduce it after a
system update, so he thought it was related to some local change he had made.
(I can't remember his email or I'd add him to the cc so he could remind me what
his case was. I do recall it being somewhat reproducible and happened for both
UFS and ZFS.)
The network is just a local EtherNet.
