Hey,
while talking to a colleague this came up:
how does userland access to TCP connections play together with SMP and
TCP threads? Is there still a lock? Would it be beneficial if we lose
this synchronization and do it more DragonFly-ish? I.e. will a
receiving process benefit from a different implementation without locks
(I've seen sblock() calls, so I guess it is still locked, dunno how this
plays into the TCP threads thing)
cheers
