nothing, which is safe as it is only waiting on the parent buffer to
be written, so it can be removed.

mnt_noasync counter to temporary remove MNTK_ASYNC mount option, which
is needed to guarantee a synchronous completion of the initiated i/o
before syscall or VOP return. Global removal of MNTK_ASYNC option is
harmful because not only i/o started from corresponding thread becomes
synchronous, but all i/o is synchronous on the filesystem which is
initiated during sync(2) or syncer activity.
Instead of removing MNTK_ASYNC from mnt_kern_flag, provide a local
thread flag to disable async i/o for current thread only. Use the
opportunity to move DOINGASYNC() macro into sys/vnode.h and
consistently use it through places which tested for MNTK_ASYNC.
Some testing demonstrated 60-70% improvements in run time for the
metadata-intensive operations on async-mounted UFS volumes, but still
with great deviation due to other reasons.

This small utility can be used to `sanitize' the whitespace in source
code. It does the following things:
Global:
- Remove empty lines at the beginning and the end of a file.
- Merge successive empty lines into a single empty line.
Per-line:
- Remove trailing whitespace.
- Merge spaces preceeding tabs into the tabs.
It operated on stdin/stdout. This means that if you use vi(1), you can
just run :%!fixwhite to reorganize the file.
TCP_KEEPCNT, that allow to control initial timeout, idle time, idle
re-send interval and idle send count on a per-socket basis.

is synchronizing data that is out of date on the local component, we
should not send G_GATE_CMD_DONE acknowledge to the kernel.
This fixes the issue, observed in async mode, when on synchronization
from the remote component the worker terminated with "G_GATE_CMD_DONE
failed" error.

This uses vfork() for simple commands and command substitutions containing a
single simple command, invoking an external program under certain conditions
(no redirections or variable assignments, non-interactive shell, no job
control). These restrictions limit the amount of code executed in a vforked
child.
There is a large speedup (for example 35%) in microbenchmarks. The
difference in buildkernel is smaller (for example 0.5%) but still
statistically significant. See
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2012-January/037581.html
for some numbers.
The use of vfork() can be disabled by setting a variable named
SH_DISABLE_VFORK.

update access and modification times by reading and writing the file.
chmod(2) in rw() doesn't help because utimes(2) allow owner and the
super-user to change times. Using just utimes(2) should be sufficient.
