Re: race condition in knote deletion?

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:        kn->kn_status |= KN_DELETING | KN_REPROCESS;
:
:So  wouldn't another cpu running knote_release() while the 1st one
:sleeps call knote_detach_and_drop() too
:causing a crash when the 1st cpu resumes?

    Only the thread which set KN_PROCESSING can release the knote,
    so it shouldn't be possible.  Other threads will see that KN_PROCESSING
    is already set and not try to do anything drastic to the knote.
