I am not programmer but I want to know what is the use of adding so much locks/mutex in the stack?
So that it works properly under SMP. Concurrent programming is really hard to do.
Also, would it make a newbie/beginner feel difficult to understand the code (I mean the TCP/IP part)?
Why, yes, certainly it does. Beyond that, the size of the code involved implies something about the complexity:
8-epia# wc -l /usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp_input.c
3349 /usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp_input.c-- -Chuck
