Hi, I have created a document that maps the usage of the "giant lock" (mp_lock) in the current SMP kernel: http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/papers/lockmap.txt this should help those interested to understand what/where we lock in the current implimentation. It is from this point that we will start the "push-down" of the lock into the various sub-systems. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
