New Revision: 186187
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/186187

Log:
  A few locking fixes and cleanups to pfil hook registration,
  unregistration, and execution:
  
  - Add some brackets for clarity and trim a bit of vertical whitespace.
  - Remove comments that may not contribute to clarity, such as "Lock"
    before acquiring a lock and "Get memory" before allocating memory.
  - During hook registration, don't drop pfil_list_lock between checking
    for a duplicate and registering the hook, as this leaves a race
    condition by failing to enforce the "no duplicate hooks" invariant.
  - Don't lock the hook during registration, since it's not yet in use.
  - Document assumption that hooks will be quiesced before being
    unregistered.
  - Don't write-lock hooks during removal because they are assumed
    quiesced.
  - Rename "done" label to "locked_error" to be clear that it's an error
    path on the way out of hook execution.
