Hi,
In some existing code it says:
NET_NEEDS_GIANT("i4b_isppp");
s = splimp();
sppp_input(&sc->sc_if, m);
splx(s);
I have rewritten that code to use its own mutex,
but does sppp_input() require Giant to be locked?
Can I remove "NET_NEEDS_GIANT(..)" if my "if_start" callback
does not require Giant to be locked?
--HPS
