Please pardon the cross-posting; I'd rather keep responses on whichever
list is more appropriate.
Why are bind(2), accept(2), kevent(2), etc. wrapped in libc_r?
I thought that the spl() calls prevented kernel recursion in the current
SMP system, and that a mutex handled reentrance in SMPng. [Please correct
me if/where I am mistaken.]
I can understand things like malloc(3), lseek(2), read(2), and write(2)
being serialized, but I'm confused about [some of the other] syscall
wrappers. Can somebody please elaborate, or direct me to a reference?
Big TIA,
Eddy
