All, As a result of Google Summer of Code I now have a branch where the entire select/poll/kevent subsystem has been unified into kevent. It has already been fairly well tested on i386/SMP, but it would be nice to give it a good shaking out before it hits master. Nothing special is required to test, and the modified code is so pervasive that even booting the system multi-user is providing testing. Anything is helpful, running X, running benchmarks that stress the network or pipe subsystems and use them in a non-blocking manner, etc. Especially helpful would be anyone who has a device listed on http://wiki.github.com/thesjg/SJG-DragonFly-BSD-SoC/poll-able-devices and can report success or failure. Performance regressions, slowness or "weirdness" are legitimately reportable as well, as long as you can provide a reasonable description or steps to reproduce. There is currently 1 known panic when unmounting a remote smbfs share.
The branch is available from my leaf repository: git://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~sjg/dragonfly.git -- branch "selwakeup" Thanks! Sam
