Subject: help with splbio, splnet, spl...
Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

Can someone point me to some documentation that explains how the spl
interrupts work?  For example, in the Scsi code (scsi_scsi_cmd in
scsi_base.c) just before a command is sent to the adapter, a call is
made to splbio().  Does this mask all I/O interrupts? Network interrupts
too?  

Thanks.
