I've just checked in a large diff that implements an MP-safe locking protocol
for the ifmedia / mii layers used by many Ethernet and Wifi drivers. I've
tested this fairly extensively, and have gotten some testing help from others
as well. But I can't cover everything, so if you notice any crashes or hangs
or whatever that seem like they could be related to this, file a bug report
using send-pr(1) and ping me via email.
as soon as I can have a stable kernel I can use I will test that!
I already have a "troublesome" intel card as wireless, let's see how it
will fares.
Very innteresting would be to test fxp, which already had issue with mii
selection.
However, my laptops with fxp are running 8.1 since they are considered
stable.
Would it be useful to run a current kernel as a test on these, on old
userland though?
