He'll probably refer to http://www.freebsd.org/~eivind/ where I stored a copy of his latest distributed patches, though :-) IIRC, the code there (sysjun-07b.diff.gz) should match what John (Dyson) is talking about. These are the patches John was testing just before he left. The other patches there (vput-proc.diff) is to make vput() take a process argument, and thus avoid some race conditions under SMP. These need testing with NFS; I'm waiting on somebody (you know who you are) who promised to do this a long while ago, but have not heard back (even after repeated nagging). If somebody else has a suitable test environment, feel free to yell. The patches have been running on my machine for three months or so with no ill effects. Eivind.
