excellent, thanks.

I also have two related questions:

1. why isn't the struct mtx part of the struct selinfo instead
   of being grabbed from the mtxpool_select ?

2. am i correct that we do need to protect concurrent invocations
   of selrecord() on the same selinfo because mtx_pool_find()
   return the same mutex for a given struct selinfo ?

In case, any objections if i add some comments to the code
to explain the above ?

cheers
luigi
