I've been told by a co-worker that a freebsd developer once told him that m= utex locking on socket descriptors was not necessary to avoid issues with m= ultiple threads reading and writing. I would like to confirm this is true = of file descriptors as well, and in particular of device driver file descri= ptors, before I abandon them in my code. The driver in question is a simpl= e `usb_fifo_methods` type driver. Thanks. - Steve Wall
