OK, let us just for the sake of argument say that I've got a rough patch (3 hours of work) and have put it on http://www.freebsd.org/~eivind/vput-proc.patch Where would I go from here? How do I test this without burning my filesystems? Have anybody got any testsuites they believe to be relevant? Oh, and can somebody tell me if cnp->cn_proc is generally usable as a 'relevant process pointer', or if I should keep it to areas where it is already used (as I did in the rough patch)? Eivind.
