I'd agree with bosko. I don't think that a per-softc pool of mbuf+clusters is the way to go, this should be the function of the uma allocator. I'm agnostic as to whether a preconstructed mbuf+cluster pool is a useful construct or not. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
