New Revision: 192125
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/192125
Log:
- Use a separate sx lock to try to limit the number of concurrent userland
sysctl requests to avoid wiring too much user memory. Only grab this
lock if the user's old buffer is larger than a page as a tradeoff to
allow more concurrency for common small requests.
- Just use a shared lock on the sysctl tree for user sysctl requests now.
