1/ discard 'struct unx_cred'. We don't need any data that is not already in 'struct rpc_cred'. 2/ Don't keep these creds in a hash table. When a credential is needed, simply allocate it. When not needed, discard it. This can easily be faster than performing a lookup on a shared hash table. As the lookup can happen during write-out, use a mempool to ensure forward progress. This means that we cannot compare two credentials for equality by comparing the pointers, but we never do that anyway.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
