http://phk.freebsd.dk/patch/devfs.patch Please test and report. Back when devfs was first introduced, it was necessary to isolate the device driver context(s) from the filesystem context(s) and a lot of atomic instructions went into that. Now that SMPng and various cleanups have simplified the world a bit, this patch eliminates all the atomic fireworks and does away with the "overflow" table and other nastyness. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
