After I make minor corrections to the patch (which is actually based off of 4.x). I'm pretty comfortable with it in -current and think in a week or two we can MFC it into 4.x, which will allow more of the continuing BGL work to (eventually) go into both trees. Specifically, it sure would be nice if some of the syscall work that occurs in the future can be MFC'd. The patch at least doesn't make things any slower - Bob Bishop did a buildworld test and came up with a 7% improvement. I'm a bit skeptical, I only thought it would be 1 or 2%, but perhaps the removal of the 'cpl' locks (which make spl*() calls very expensive) made up for it. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
