I believe that Luoqi Chen's vmspace sharing code is >necessary for Wine to work under SMP. This was committed to -current >April 27th. There have been a couple of related patches since that (as >far as I can tell from the commit logs anyway). Speaking of wine, has anyone looked at committing the patches in kern/11287? without them wine works only `partly', like when running on old linux kernels (2.0.x)... FWIW, i've been running my back-ported version of luoqi's patch (the LDT fix, nothing to do with SMP, see the PR) since i posted it several months ago and haven't noticed any adverse effects. the PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=11287 luoqui's patch: http://www.freebsd.org/~luoqi Regards, -- Juergen Lock <nox.foo@jelal.kn-bremen.de> (remove dot foo from address to reply) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
