I'm working for a company that distributes drivers for its network interconnect boards. We currently distribute all our drivers in source form. As a convenience to our customers, we also distribute binary drivers for many platforms. I'd like to package a binary module for FreeBSD. While I realize that the ABI is stable thoughout the RELENG_4 branch, I'm not familiar with the correct way to build a driver for generic binary distribution. If I build the driver as part of a normal GENERIC kernel build procedure, should I expect it to work in, say, SMP environments? This is a network driver which does ethernet emulation, as well as os-bypass networking using an mmaped cdev & a few ioctls. Its not doing any locking (aside from spls) and its not installing any system calls.
