No more GIANT LOCKED messages for re. :) I saw that this was committed to HEAD yesterday. I have a machine with a 8169-based NIC that is doing ~300GB on a daily basis that I'd love to try to run with debug.mpsafenet=1. Do you think the patch that went into HEAD has been tested enough that it is safe to try it? It's a UP machine using POLLING mode (HZ=2000), if that makes any difference. /Daniel Eriksson
