According to my reading of kern_lock.c, it does support shared lock. However, we are still using LK_EXCLUSIVE mode more often than necessary. If I want to look up a directory or to read a buffer, I should be able to use the LK_SHARED lock. Right now, only few places I have found using LK_SHARED, like in vn_read(). Is there any reason behind this? If I want to change this in my code, is there anything I should pay special attention to? Thanks. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
