Hi everyone,
  I find many system call under the control of Giant mutex, I do not know 
when we should call mtx_lock(&Giant) and mtx_unlock(&Giant). I only know it 
is a global mutex.
  normally, the two functions will occure together. But, in the 
/sys/dev/aac/aac.c aac_host_command(struct aac_softc *sc), before 
kthread_exit, it only calls the mtx_lock(&Giant). If I also write one 
kernel thread program, should I use the Giant?
  Thank you!

Best Regards
  Ouyang Kai
