insert red face on CLFREE. Things are bad when I can't even read a macro if statement. thanks, I knew this was for the reference count to the data object. I know I need to keep track of my reference count differently because my data is not allocated close to the mbuf data, and the mclrefcnt array won't help me. I am still planning on adding a complete PERM mbuf extension where the mbuf and data are kept together. The free routine will accept a pointer to the mbuf as well as pointers to the data that could get referenced and linked to other mbufs when pages are copied. I would feel better if the m_copypacket function in kern/uipc_mbuf.c would also use the external reference function. --mark.
