No substancial changes have been done to the AX.25 kernel stack in a extended period of time. As the result it is still doing crude stuff like globally enabling and disabling interrupts, has no understanding of shared skb, isn't fully multithreaded and probably plenty more problems I haven't spotted yet. Now that we're about to remove global cli() / sti() from the kernel this means the AX.25 stack will soon break entirely. Is there any ongoing development I'm not aware of? Just in case I've started doing some cleanup last night ... 73 de DO1GRB op Ralf -- Loc. JN47BS / CQ 14 / ITU 28 / DOK A21
