Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm trying to cleanup the Alpha MD flags and discovered that in KSE-2, the struct mdthread td_md is in the copy section of struct thread even though struct mdproc p_md is not (and wasn't before KSE-2 either). Just curious if this was accidental or intentional? I think mdthread should not be copied by default, but should be treated the same as mdproc, and the MD code should be responsible for copying/zeroing any bits that it needs to. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
