great! i studied the code and i couldn't find any issues in any of the relevant paths, so i'm glad to hear it's supposed to be like this. for one particular case (ether_ioctl) how is this diff: - * Common ioctls for Ethernet interfaces. Note, we must be - * called at splnet(). + * Common ioctls for Ethernet interfaces. + * + * Non IFEF_MPSAFE drivers must call this function at at least called + * at splsoftnet(). or should they also be with kernel lock? thanks.
