Subject: kernel spinlocks; when to use; when appropriate?
Date: Mon, 09 Jun 2003 23:43:59 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030609154401.6252.qmail@linuxmail.org> (raw)

Hi,
   When is is appropriate to use spinlocks in the kernel,
how are they implemented (e.g. syntax, function names) and
can anyone think of a good area of the kernel for me to look 
at, that uses them?

Thanks again for any help.
                   Lars.

Thanks double-ly if you give code examples... :-)
