This is some of the worst code I've had to wade through in
ages and I don't want to have to start from scratch again next time.
(I have a 2.2 version of these comments, can I commit them?)
mount. This may have been a contributor to the 'null v_mount in
fsync()' problem
This is another, perhaps slightly less urgent, 2.2 last-minute candidate.

incomplete and some are just placeholders but I wanted to try to get
something at least into 2.2 on the grounds that what I have is a lot
better than nothing. I also wanted to commit something which documents
the interfaces in 2.2 before I start updating the documentation for 3.0.
This is a definite 2.2 candidate and is also relavent to 2.1 if people
still care about that branch.
- 0 was returned instead of EOF when an input failure occured while
skipping white-space after 0 assignments. This fixes PR2606. The
diagnosis in PR2606 is wrong.
- EOF was returned instead of 0 when an input failure occurred after
zero assignments and nonzero suppressed assignments.
- EOF was spelled -1.
This should be in 2.2.
for now so that we don't lose library compatibility. Applications should
define _NEW_VFSCONF and use getvfsbyname() instead of new_getvfsbyname()
if they want the new vfsconf interface. Parts of the old interface
(enough to load vfs modules, I hope) are still available.
(phk's) sysctl framework, and I needed special code to disambiguate
the VFS_GENERIC node from the VFS_VFSCONF leaf, so I only converted
the leaves to the FreeBSD framework. The error handling isn't quite
right. CSRGS's sysctls seem to return ENOTDIR too much and FreeBSD's
sysctls don't agree with the man page.
instead of all hardcoded assumptions historically used
(i.e. sizeof(long) == 4)
Use MAXLOGNAME == 17 for stricter setlogin() size checking. Since
it rounds up to 20, all sizes remains the same
2578 from Julian A. Likely not strictly needed, but it doesn't hurt
and protects ping against possible buffer overflows if the resolver
were to return large IP addresses.
the quality of the hash distribution. This does not fix a problem dealing
with poor distribution when using lots of IP aliases and listening
on the same port on every one of them...some other day perhaps; fixing
that requires significant code changes.
The use of xor was inspired by David S. Miller <davem@jenolan.rutgers.edu>
