My curiousity has overcome my fear of the bikeshed so I'll ask the question that has been bugging me for a while. Why haven't we gone through the tree and created a lock for each spl and then converted every spl call into the appropriate mtx_lock call? At that point, we can mark large sections of the tree giant-free and then make the locking data-based (instead of code-based) one section at a time. This is the approach Solaris took. -Nate
