Hi,
A patch against -CURRENT is now available:
http://people.freebsd.org/~bms/dump/multi_refcounting.diff
This is a fairly sweeping architectural change which should resolve
memory leaks and potential panics with the network stack as a whole, to
better support interface detach at runtime.
I'd like to check it in as soon as possible as it fixes the root cause
of the problems we have had with carp and pfsync in our stack. NetBSD
has implemented refcounting like this for some time now, so it does not
suffer from the same problems.
Regards,
BMS
