Kostik (kib) suggested a possible valid use-case that depends on the current order: adding dynamic sysctl-s under static sysctl-s via the module load handler. He also offered an idea for a possible solution: holding the modules lock in the shared mode (MOD_SLOCK) around calls to sysctl-s registered from modules. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
