First off, these function do lock sysctl exclusively, so I find this to be a better suited name. In https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=273401 I added shared locking to sysctl and this change "coincidently" freed up a nice name for a functions which remember previous lock type and lock it the same way later. -- Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik gmail.com> _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
