Hi all, I'm new to the list, but before I go ahead and modify the ixgb (intel 10 Gb NIC) driver to have its own mutex, I want to just send out an announcement to avoid any duplication of effort by anyone else who might be doing the same. The drivers in CURRENT and STABLE both require giant. I have a pair of NICs and multiprocessor machines to test this on. Please send me an email if you've got a concern about this or have already started work... Thanks, --Paul Willmann
