Hello, I was looking through kern_proc.c, and I noticed that unlike pfind, pgfind does not lock the pointer to a structure being returned, further investigating showed that the definition fo the pgrp structure itself, in proc.h, doesn't have a mtx struct defined within it either. My proposal is to create a patch that would create pgrp locking, by adding a mtx to pgrp, and then a MACRO which locks and unlocks that structure, like PROC_LOCK() Would this create any problems? Also, my pr has been sitting in gnats for a while, I think that patch may be beneficial... http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=29423 -- ----------------------------------- Evan Sarmiento | www.open-root.org ems@sekt7.org | www.sekt7.org/~ems/ ----------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
