- crcopy() now simply copies the credentials from one credential to

- a new crshared() primitive is added which returns true if a ucred's
refcount is > 1 and false (0) otherwise.

an array "fs_contigdirs[]" to avoid too many directories getting
created in each cylinder group. The memory required for this and
two other arrays (fs_csp[] and fs_maxcluster[]) is allocated with
a single malloc() call, and divided up afterwards. However, the
'space' pointer is not advanced correctly, so fs_contigdirs and
fs_maxcluster end up pointing to the same address.
Add the missing code to advance the 'space' pointer, and remove
an unnecessary update of the pointer that follows.

d_ino == 0 however, DIRSIZ() is not guaranteed to return a sensible

compaction. In practice I believe this can only happen after fsck_ffs

We now deal with any mid-block unused entries specially to avoid
using DIRSIZ() or bcopy() on such entries. We also ensure that the
variables 'dsize' and 'spacefree' contain meaningful values at all
times. Add a few comments to describe better this intricate piece

The special handling of mid-block unused entries makes the dirhash-

i_effnlink is also tested, to determines whether or not to call

Fix both cases by checking um_i_effnlink_valid in the ufsmount

directories. When enabled via "options UFS_DIRHASH", in-core hash
arrays are maintained for large directories. These allow all
directory operations to take place quickly instead of requiring
long linear searches. For now anyway, dirhash is not enabled by
default.
The in-core hash arrays have a memory requirement that is approximately
half the size of the size of the on-disk directory file. A number
of new sysctl variables allow control over which directories get
hashed and over the maximum amount of memory that dirhash will use:
vfs.ufs.dirhash_minsize
The minimum on-disk directory size for which hashing should be
used. The default is 2560 (2.5k).
vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem
The system-wide maximum total memory to be used by dirhash data
structures. The default is 2097152 (2MB).
The current amount of memory being used by dirhash is visible
through the read-only sysctl variable vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem.
Finally, some extra sanity checks that are enabled by default, but
which may have an impact on performance, can be disabled by setting
vfs.ufs.dirhash_docheck to 0.

change_ruid()
change_rgid()

CANSIGIO(), needs to be updated to use the p_cansignal() and
p_cansched() centralized authorization routines, as they currently
do not take into account some desirable restrictions that are handled
by the centralized routines, as well as being inconsistent with other
similar authorization instances.

Tor created a while ago, removes the raw I/O piece (that has cache coherency
problems), and adds a buffer cache / VM freeing piece.
Essentially this patch causes O_DIRECT I/O to not be left in the cache, but
does not prevent it from going through the cache, hence the 80%. For
the last 20% we need a method by which the I/O can be issued directly to
buffer supplied by the user process and bypass the buffer cache entirely,
but still maintain cache coherency.
