The following schedule is proposed, assuming nothing goes horribly wrong
with the new USB code in the next few weeks, and remaining nits relating to
USB network and 802.11 drivers are handled:
16 February 2009 HEADS UP to lists (this e-mail)
01 March 2009 Disable build of all IFF_NEEDSGIANT drivers in 8.x
01 April 2009 Remove all IFF_NEEDSGIANT drivers from 8.x
In the next couple of weeks, I'd like to resolve the status of (and
eliminate) the if_ndis conditional use of IFF_NEEDSGIANT. There's also a
chance that if_sl will get updated by Ed and myself to work with the new
locking and TTY world orders -- the lock is easy, but the TTY update takes a
bit of work. Perhaps someone will feel moved to do this for if_ppp and
possibly if_cx as well.
Just a reminder that 1 March is gradually approaching. It looks like the new
USB stack is settling nicely, so I currently have no plans to defer the above
schedule.
