Under what circumstances are we going to need two simple locks (release the first one after getting the second one)? I can not understand this easily from the source code. Any help is appreciated. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
