NAME

       simple_unlock - General: Releases a simple lock

SYNOPSIS

       #include <kern/lock.h>

       void simple_unlock(
	       simple_lock_t slock_ptr );

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies a pointer to a simple lock structure. You passed this pointer in a previous call to the simple_lock routine.

DESCRIPTION

       The simple_unlock routine releases a simple lock for the resource associated with the specified simple lock structure pointer.  This simple
       lock was previously asserted by calling the simple_lock or simple_lock_try routine.

RETURN VALUES

       None

NAME

       simple_lock_terminate - General: Terminates, using a simple lock

SYNOPSIS

       #include <kern/lock.h>

       void simple_lock_terminate(
	       simple_lock_t slock_ptr );

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies a pointer to a simple lock structure. You can declare this simple lock structure by using the decl_simple_lock_data routine.

DESCRIPTION

       The  simple_lock_terminate routine determines that the kernel module is done using the simple lock permanently. The kernel module must free
       the simple lock (that is, the kernel module does not hold the lock) before calling simple_lock_terminate. The kernel module must not refer-
       ence the specified simple lock after calling simple_lock_terminate.

NOTES

       You must call simple_lock_init (once only) prior to calling simple_lock_terminate to initialize the simple lock structure for the resource.
       A resource, from the kernel module's standpoint, is data that more than one kernel thread can manipulate. You can  store  the  resource	in
       global variables and in data structure members.

RETURN VALUES
