To bring myself up to speed I just read: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/kernel/2005-10/msg00029.html (a little old but hopefully still accurate) Couple layman's questions here: 1. Does this LWP<-->Process infrastructure have an impact on BGL removal in other areas? (read: I don't quite understand the full implications of the change, apart from the fact that 1:1 threading now works) 2. What is the roadmap for BGL removal -- and what's left to do in regards to this? Just curious... Thanks, James
