Hello,
I took a grep on the kernel source and took a look to Giant usage as
well. I too have a question about locking in uipc_domain.c:
The file has a mutex, dom_mtx, which protects the 'domain list lock',
which could be declared static by the way. The strange thing is that it
isn't used to lock
hi
I looked at where Giant is held in the kernel and I found these interesting
things:
1) in fs/fifofs/fifo_vnops.c we lock Giant when calling sorecieve()/sosend()
this is a bandaid for fixing a race that doesnt have to exist anymore. ie.
it needs some testing and can be remvoed
2) in geom/geom
