My tentative patch is here: http://www.freebsd.org/~attilio/mutexfileline.patch I need to make more compile testing later, but it already compiles GENERIC + modules fine on HEAD. The patch provides a common entrypoint, option independent, for both fast case and debug/compat case. Additively, it almost entirely fixes the standard violation of the reserved namespace, as you described (the notable exception being the macro used in the fast path, that I want to fix as well, but in a separate commit). Now the file/line couplet can be passed to the "_" suffix variant of the flag functions. eadler@ reviewed the mutex.h comment. Please let me know what you think about it, as long as we agree on the patch I'll commit it. Attilio --=20 Peace can only be achieved by understanding - A. Einstein
