Description

Add some more items:

  • Claim TrustedBSD locking. This isn't in the tree yet, but will begin to migrate in in a month or so, and I am asserting to myself that it will be locked when it arrives :-).
  • Assign a variety of VFS locking-related tasks to Jeff Roberson. He volunteered to work on these at BSDCon, so as a personal favor to him, I'm making sure he can't forget. While I'm at it, add an entity for him. The tasks he described include:
    • Cleaning up locking within the vnode, including documenting
	  the various implicit and explicit locks there.
  • Moving to explicit counting of soft references.
  • Move towards using sx locks instead of lockmgr once this cleanup
	  is done.
  • Moving towards being able to perform VOP_GETATTR() shared,
	  to reduce lock contention.
  • Generally review vnode and VFS locking for SMP-safety.
