- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.
shortcut to the process of the passed lwp paniced the kernel since lwp
could/can be passwd as NULL in VOP_WRITE().
This was happening when ktracing to NFS. The function ktrwrite() set the
uio_lwp to NULL and then calls VOP_WRITE() with this argument. nfs_write()
then accessed lwp *l->l_proc wich paniced.
Thanks to David Laight for his help on tracking it down.
of curproc (where uio->uio_procp should be used?). Don't do this
for nfs_commit(), because yamt says it is possibly wrong.
2. nfs_doio() does not use struct proc; remove it and the code to compute it.
3. use copyin_proc() and copyout_proc() instead of copyin() and copyout().
4. check return of copyout_proc(). and mark return from copyin_proc() XXX
5. Eliminate check p == curproc assertion check from nfs_write;
nfs_read does not have it and we might be called in a different
process context anyway (PR 20138).
this means we can no longer look at the vnode size to determine how many
pages to request in a fault, which is good since for NFS the size can change
out from under us on the server anyway. there's also a new flag UBC_UNMAP
for ubc_release(), so that the file system code can make the decision about
whether to cache mappings for files being used as executables.
is opened. An open file can always be read from and/or written to,
depending on how it was opened.
Therefore, the read/write/commit RPCs should never return EACCESS,
as they are only performed on files that have been successfully opened
already.
This change improves the current situation and works in most cases.
It simply always uses the most recently known owner/group of the file,
iff the authentication mechanism is AUTH_UNIX (in other cases, the
creds for a succesful open are used, but note that no other cases
are currently implemented).
A retry mechanism can be used to catch a few more cases, but this is
a good improvement for now.

be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
