 ====== SMP General TODO List ======
+:!: This page was last edited in late 2012.  Surely it needs an update.
 This page lists some general locking/basic SMP todo items that have thus far slipped through the cracks; some are more relevant to the real world than others.  For these purposes, we consider a component to be not MPSAFE if it either entirely relies on the Giant lock to operate correctly, or if its required dependencies rely on the Giant lock to operate correctly.  Depending on the subsystem, the impact may be significant or limited with respect to other components simultaneously operating in the kernel.  Some have owners, some don't.
