Author: bz Date: Wed Dec 3 15:54:35 2008 New Revision: 185583 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/185583 Log: Fix a credential reference leak. [1] Close subtle but relatively unlikely race conditions when propagating the vnode write error to other active sessions tracing to the same vnode, without holding a reference on the vnode anymore.
