Deferred freeing of kauth_cred_ts
Hi,
One thing that prevents us from attaching credentials to sockets is an
issue where these might be freed from interrupt context.
What I have in mind is being able to tell when we can sleep or not,
and if not, add the credentials to a queue that an independent thread
will take care of freeing.
If this is sensible, my first step will be extracting the guts of
assert_sleepable() to is_sleepable() so we don't always trip a panic()
if we can't sleep.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
-e.
