SMP Documentation

[Matthew Dillon]

There is no comprehensive document.  Our approaches are somewhat different
(and very different in the network subsystems).  Our hybrid cpu
localization (which can be lockless) and fine-grained locking model seems
to be able to avoid nearly all potential SMP conflicts and is probably a
bit more cache-friendly than FreeBSDs model.
