simple_lock_terminate(9r) simple_lock_terminate(9r) 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
None FILES
