Hello,
The patch at http://people.freebsd.org/~ssouhlal/sysctl-locking.diff
removes Giant from the sysctl subsystem.
I tested it on i386 and powerpc, where it appears to work perfectly.
However, I have not been able to test it on an SMP box, as I don't have
access to any.
So I would appreciate it if someone would test it, and report any
problems.
I will commit it in about week, unless, of course, there are
objections/problems.
Bye
