Hi,
while trying to get rid of 'could sleep with mutex' messages a question
occured to me: is there any global mechanism that ensures that no two
threads enter the interface attach/detach functions at the same time?
If there is, there should be a hint in driver(9) probably. If there isn't
what is the canonical way to implement an MP-safe attach function? Some
drivers use
foo_attach(...)
{
mtx_init(&sc->mtx, ...
mtx_lock(&sc->mtx);
...
but this really doesn't help.
Regards,
harti
