Thought I'd give a status update.
I've integrated the following patches (with some minor
changes/additions) after testing them out a bit.
vbox.panic-params.patch
vbox.stat-ttl.patch
vbox.dir-seek.patch
I'm giving more priority to the patches that address bugs. Patches that
improve performance will also be integrated but after the bug-fix ones
are done.
Thanks & Regards,
Ram.

Attached are some patches to improve the performance of shared-folders
in Solaris guests. Together they speed up things between 2 to 4 times:
operations like untarring and deleting whole directory tree are
typically 2 to 2.5 times faster, and when running builds that include
things like building Solaris packages I see a speedup of 3 to almost 4.
The bulk of the speedup comes from the second (file open) patch.
These patches assume my previously sent patches have been applied.

Thank you very much for this code contribution! We will revise it a bit
later as our colleague which maintains this code is currently not
available.
I don't want to appear pushy, but since I've seen that some work has
been done in recent weeks on the Solaris shared-folders code, I'm
wondering if you might have time to review the patches. I rebased them
onto svn rev 39192 (and updated to VB 4.1.6) and they appear to still
work fine on Solaris 10u8 (after disabling the mmap support - see
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/9856).
For your convenience I've attached the rebased patches (in the order
they should be applied), though all in one email instead of spread
over 4 separate emails like last Jan.
Argh! I just realized that the symlink deletion issue was fixed a
while ago, so the hack in vbox.symlink.patch is not necessary anymore
(yay!). Since updating this patch causes some subsequent patches to
not apply cleanly anymore, I'm just re-sending the full list of
patches (i.e. please ignore those I sent yesterday).
Cheers,
Ronald
