Since an inode is always associated with a vnode, and is accessed via its vnode, I do not see the reason why we should lock the inode after having locked the vnode. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks a lot. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
