Maybe in the wiki? One of the reasons for my initial mail is that I would like to help with the Architecture Handbook. That is where I would like to put the content of this thread as well as other emails I have been reading/saving regarding locking/threads/scheduling. When I started reading the Arch. Handbook I under estimated the complexities involved in the FreeBSD kernel. It is a complex piece of software and I am learning that it is not mastered overnight, at least not by me. I am studying it though. I believe locking is a good place to start and I am gaining an understanding of it. Recent explanations have gone a long way in furthering my understanding of how locking works in the kernel. I hope I can take this information and glue it into an interesting and detailed section in our Arch. Handbook. I regret that I am not able to produce something more quickly; I simply haven't learned enough yet.
