Just a minor heads up: I've merged both Kip Macy's lock order fixes to the
kernel routing code, and the route locking and reference counting fixes from
kern/130652 to stable/7. These fixes should correct a number of reported
network-related hangs. We might want to release a subset of these as an
errata patch to 7.1 if they shake out well in 7-stable.

FYI, I'm currently awaiting testing results from Pete on the MFC of a
number of routing table locking fixes, and once that's merged (hopefully
tomorrow?) I'll start on the patches in the above PR. I've taken a
crash-course in routing table locking in the last few days... :-)
Just to let you know that I have had zero crashes since I out the patch
live on sunday. Of course thats only three days, but it does look very
much like it has fixed it. I am also running with the other routing table
patch too..
At this point no news is good news, as it is just sitting there ticking
away nicely to itself. I will roll it out to a few more machines over the
next few days.
But looking good so far, I would encourage other people to try the ptches
if they are having problems...
Thanks -- I've gone ahead and merged the patch to 7.x (r189026) so that I
can look at the PR and get that in-progress. Since the code affected by
the PR is no longer in 8.x, I'll merge directly to 7.x, and probably fairly
quickly since you've had it in production for a while.
