I have a question here, is a file HANDLE normally used by only one userspace thread at a time (so that if you have multiple threads, each thread will have its own unique file HANDLEs), or each thread may use the file HANDLEs opened by other threads? Sam, I am not sure if your question was specific to Windows file/device HANDLEs or specific to netlink handles in OVS userspace: - Windows HANDLEs I'd think should support concurrent operations. Eg. two userspace processes can be doing ReadFile() on the same handle. - There's code in userspace to make sure that a netlink handle does not get used concurrently. See nl_pool_alloc().
