Certainly not from me. Also, given that epoch(9) is a wrapper around (or based on) the implementation provided by Concurrency Kit, maybe we should have some kind of a gateway manual page for the latter. That page would provide an introduction to Concurrency Kit and links to its resources. Then epoch.9 could reference it. > Index: epoch.9 > =================================================================== > --- epoch.9 (revision 335613) > +++ epoch.9 (working copy) > @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ > .Nm epoch_wait , > .Nm epoch_call , > .Nm in_epoch , > -.Nd kernel epoch based reclamation > +.Nd kernel Epoch Based Reclamation (EBR) > .Sh SYNOPSIS > .In sys/param.h > .In sys/proc.h > @@ -191,3 +191,10 @@ > .Xr sleep 9 , > .Xr sx 9 , > .Xr timeout 9 > +.Rs > +.%A K.
