I believe that depended on whose big picture you were looking at. I still don't have any idea of "maximal acceptable granularity" because I still have no idea of what your big picture is (so I can see how it differs from mine). The changes were *certainly* related to moving toward where I wanted to be (SMP, kernel multithreading, median granularity subsystem locking to fine grain context locking, etc.). > I'm not going to rehash the history of this subject, but merely > repeat my offer to you, that if you upload your sources to somwhere > where I can get at it, I will funnel through changes into FreeBSD. Pretty clearly, I'm going to have to redo them all, now that the target has moved. I did this once already for the changes I already sent to Julian. If you want a granularity above that, you will need to specify it for me; if you don't want that, then integrate what I sent to Julian, and when it shows up in my SUP tree, I'll do the next bite-sized round of changes and then wait for them to show up, too. Eventually we will get to where we would have been with all the "unrelated" changes, and I'll have less baggage to drag from revision to revision, and can concentrate on other things I want to do, like working NFS locking and other things which you might see as desirable and not unrelated (*no*, I will *not* abandon my baggage to pursue goals like this -- my "baggage" is a baseline services requirement for me to build toward some of these goals, and you will not dictate to me my priorities).
