I urge everybody to glance over at the following: http://people.freebsd.org/~bmilekic/mtx_journal and http://people.freebsd.org/~bmilekic/mbuf_mtx-v5.diff The latter is a ~40k diff to the mbuf system, mostly, that adds mutex locking, and generally cleans it up a bit. I realize that this description is not so clear, which is why I've - following Alfred Perlstein's suggestion - kept a log of changes/informal journal, and that's what the first link is. If you're reviewing the code, please make sure to check out all of the entries. As mentionned, I'm looking for feedback: technical, stylistic, etc. Please be advised that some of the stuff can probably use a little of a style makeover, and if you stumble upon such a thing, let me know and I'll adjust the diff once enough comments are gathered. As I still don't have SMP hardware, I'm also looking for people with these resources to run this and provide me with comments/notes. I'm looking forward to getting a hold of some better equipment to test with. If there's anything I missed, please let me know.
