As far as I know in FreeBSD it is not possible to > lock a MTX_DEF mtx inside an ISR. Am I wrong on this? It depends. Most interrupt handlers run in ithreads and can use MTX_DEF. Only interrupt handlers that run from a filter are restricted to using MTX_SPIN. Looking at all the calls to netmap_[tr]x_irq() in the tree, they are all done from contexts that are safe to use MTX_DEF (and in general they have to be as the equivalent code for the non-netmap case is calling routines like if_input or m_freem that can't be invoked from a filter either). > > Cheers, > Vincenzo > > 2016-12-28 19:06 GMT+01:00 John Baldwin : > > Why are you using MTX_SPIN?
