and handle them all in one go. A flag makes it possible to mark
a resource as optional.
A typical device driver can save 10-30 lines of code by using these.
Usage examples will follow RSN.

FYI this bit isn't needed for FreeBSD - I think it came from either
OpenBSD or NetBSD where arc4random() wasn't available during cold

when we mount and get zero cost if no rules are used in a mountpoint.
Add code to deref rules on unmount.
Switch from SLIST to TAILQ.
Drop SYSINIT, use SX_SYSINIT and static initializer of TAILQ instead.
Drop goto, a break will do.
Reduce double pointers to single pointers.
Combine reaping and destroying rulesets.
Avoid memory leaks in a some error cases.
o Don't reinitialise the atfork() handler list in the child. We
are meant to call the child handler, and on subsequent fork()s
should call all three functions as normal.
o Don't reinitialise the thread specific keyed data in the
child after a fork. Applications may require this for context.
o Reinitialise curthread->tlflags after removing ourselves from
(and reinitialising) the various internal thread lists.
o Reinitialise __malloc_lock in the child after fork() (to balance
our explicitly taking the lock prior to the fork()).
With these changes, it is possible to enable the NOTYET code in
thr_kern.c to allow the use of non-async-safe functions after
fork()ing from a threaded program.

This is useful mostly in startup scripts, when module should be loaded only
if it wasn't compiled into the kernel nor already loaded, eg.:
kldstat -q -m g_eli || kldload geom_eli.ko || err 1 'geom_eli module failed to load.'
in rev. 1.40 of ufs_inode.c, which allows an inode being truncated
even when the filesystem itself is marked RDONLY. A subsequent
call of UFS_TRUNCATE (ffs_truncate) would panic the system as it
asserts that it can only be called when the filesystem is mounted
read-write (same changeset, rev. 1.74 of sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_inode.c).
Because ffs_mount() already takes care of sync'ing the filesystem
to disk before being downgraded to readonly, it appears to be more
desirable that we should not permit this sort of writes to disk.
This change would fix a panic that occours when read-only mounted
a corrupted filesystem and doing some file operations.

It confuses the lock manager since in some places thread0 is
then used for vnode locking while curthread is used for vnode unlocking.

underlying the POSIX fifo implementation. In 6.x/7.x, fifo access is
moved from the VFS layer, where it was serialized using the vnode
lock, to the file descriptor layer, where access is protected by a
reference count but not serialized. This exposed socket buffer
locking to high levels of parallelism in specific fifo workloads, such
as make -j 32, which expose as yet unresolved socket buffer bugs.
fi_sx re-adds serialization about the read and write routines,
although not paths that simply test socket buffer mbuf queue state,
such as the poll and kqueue methods. This restores the extra locking
cost previously present in some cases, but is an effective workaround
for the instability that has been experienced. This workaround should
be removed once the bug in socket buffer handling has been fixed.
