Yes, yes it is. I have a branch that has changes to interrupt threads where you can have an interrupt handler reschedule itself. That prevents this class of problems as the handler always runs in the interrupt thread. I really should get that patch into HEAD someday. I've posted it to arch@ twice now I think. :( It also fixes interrupt filters to really work properly and be on by default. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
