Wow guys, this is great stuff, thanks!
Here's what I've discovered so far and again,
correct me if I'm wrong.
In strategy, I need to protect from my callout
and netisr running. In my netisr, I need to
protect from my callout running. In my callout,
I need to protect from my netisr running.
It looks like I can use splnet() everywhere *except*
where I'm pulling mbufs off of the mbuf queue in the
netisr routine. There I'll have to use splimp() to
keep from banging heads with the hardware.
I think this is the optimum spl-ing as it will allow
the network hardware to keep queueing up packets as I
process them. Comments?
