[PATCH] Replace timeout(9) with callout(9) in ips(4): test or the driver will be removed
This patch converts the ips(4) driver to the callout(9) API and adds additional locking to remove its use of Giant. The patch is against HEAD but probably applies to 9 and 10 as well. Please test with INVARIANTS enabled. http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/ips_callout.patch Note that this driver is using a deprecated API that will be removed in 11. If no one tests updates to this driver then it is not feasible to continue maintaining it in the tree. In that case, it will be removed from HEAD one month from today. -- John Baldwin
