(I hope and suspect not): " * Note that this still only works in a uni-processor environment and * when called at splhigh(). " The only places, as far as I've seen, that call kmem_malloc are the kernel's malloc() and the mbuf allocation routines. Niether of these seems to do it at splhigh(), either. --Bosko Milekic To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
