In message <Pine.BSF.4.20.0005151116440.82339-100000@localhost>, Nick Hibma wri tes: >> We have a number of different callout list implementation kicking around >> in the kernel at the moment; >> >> - the EVENTHANDLER stuff >> - the optimised callout list handling in kern_timeout.c >> - a few ad-hoc leftovers like config_intrhook that should have been >> EVENTHANDLERed but weren't > >- The delayed attach for disk devices >- The after interrupts-have-been-switched-on task queue Actually both of these can be done much more cleanly by moving all driver probe/attach to a later point where interrupts are enabled. This is needed functionality for all pccard, cardbus, and all other hotswap kind of hardware anyway. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD coreteam member | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
