X-Mailer: VM 6.75 under 21.1 (patch 12) "Channel Islands" XEmacs Lucid Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Just a quick question.. Where do we stand on bringing the networking subsystem out from under Giant? The mbuf system is soon to be safe, thanks to Alan Cox, so this allows INTR_MPSAFE drivers. However, swi:net is still under Giant, as are many of the important socket functions (sendto(), recvfrom(), etc).
