Hi!


I found a comment in the code:
	/*
	 * This node has all kinds of stuff that could be screwed by SMP.
	 * Until it gets it's own internal protection, we go through in 
	 * single file. This could hurt a machine bridging beteen two 
	 * GB ethernets so it should be fixed. 
	 * When it's fixed the process SHOULD NOT SLEEP, spinlocks please!
	 * (and atomic ops )
	 */

mtx_init(...., MTX_DEF);
How bad to use netgraph node MTX_DEF mutex?
