From [PATCH 0/0] A shared memory cache to perform better:
0/2: changes to make life easier for later patches
These change some internals of fill_pwent() and fiull_grent() and can be
applied on their own. I think they also simplify, slightly, reading
those functions, but that's probably a matter of taste.
It would be nice to have these patches pushed (unless there are issues
with them) reasonably soon in order to avoid a lot of churn and rebases
if they stomp on some other people work.
Simo.
