Bresler" Subject: splnet and if_ep.c To: hackers@freebsd.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk the 3c509 is reported to be buggy. though i have not had any problems with it. however, if writing smcioctl() for the smc91c92 chip, i see that if_ze.c:ze_ioctl() calls splnet() at entry. if_ep.c:ep_ioctl() does not. anybody seen any problems with the ix or zp drivers? from grep's it appears that splnet is a higher priority than splimp. if_ix.c -- if_ep.c -- if_zp.c -- if_ze.c splnet(); if_ed.c splimp(); if_el.c splimp(); if_ie.c splimp(); if_is.c splimp(); if_le.c splimp(); if_lnc.c splimp(); if_cx.c splimp(); if_eg.c splimp(); if_fe.c splimp(); so the vote is in: -- 3, splnet 1, and the winner splimp 9. this is code not a town meeting ;) i have not yet found the location these are declared. can you ctags the whole kernel source tree? jmb Jonathan M.
