New Revision: 293909
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/293909

Log:
  Call crextend() before copying old credentials to the new credentials
  and replace crcopysafe by crcopy as crcopysafe is is not intended to be
  safe in a threaded environment, it drops PROC_LOCK() in while() that
  can lead to unexpected results, such as overwrite kernel memory.
  
  In my POV crcopysafe() needs special attention. For now I do not see
  any problems with this function, but who knows.
