A couple of years back I did a survey of our timeout callbacks because I was worried about this issue in the context of SMPng. The majority are "mostly OK" (there is a lot of memory allocations with M_WAITOK) and a few are just plain wrong. It's certainly a fixable problem. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
