<title>Locking the FireWire device driver</title>
<desc><p><strong>Technical contact</strong>: <a href="mailto:simokawa@FreeBSD.ORG">Hidetoshi Shimokawa</a></p>
<p>The IEEE1394 (a.k.a. FireWire) device driver in FreeBSD is
still under the Giant lock. The FireWire driver consists of
several parts (fwohci, firewire, sbp, fwe and fwip) and
they all need to be locked.</p>
<p><strong>Goals</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Protect the driver by SMP locks and remove the Giant lock
from the driver.</li>

<li>Knowledge of kernel programming.</li>
