Currently we have no clean KPI to operate on file systems from within a kernel thread, thus hacks like: if (td->td_proc->p_fd->fd_rdir == NULL) td->td_proc->p_fd->fd_rdir = rootvnode; if (td->td_proc->p_fd->fd_cdir == NULL) td->td_proc->p_fd->fd_cdir = rootvnode; Now, that all those separate kernel threads are going to end up in one process, we may want to revise this. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
